Bero cook book

DianneB

This takes me back! my grandma used the little be-ro book all the time, think I'll go to Morrisons and treat myself to one! Thanks OP for bringing this up.

This might seem a little petty to some.....But, I prefer to work in lbs and oz when baking (it's a bit of a pet hate when I'm not given a choice)
So, can anyone tell me if the book still lists lbs/oz, please?

MrsBartolozzi

Well Lily-Lu, my book is the 40th edition, and I've had it about 5 years and it has both metric and imperial measurements given for each recipe, so I would imagine they still use this format now.
If you have a look at the website, link given above, the recipes there are in both measurements.
HTH


Edited to add: Just looked at the site, and mine seems to be the most recent edition, so the answer is Yes!

Yup mine is the 40th edition too and can confirm it still shows lbs and ozs as well as gms

.........just looked at the list of recipes on the web site, so nope, no bread. Shame that....

Very good point - I hadn't noticed that but I have now sent an email to them about lack of bread recipes - lets see if I get a response and what happens!

it is my fav cook book, so well used lol

Lily-Lu

Many thanks Mrsbartolozzi and Leed. I know the website lists both, but thought that perhaps the new version of the book might not.

Cheers both :beer:

Just wondering, do Be-Ro do a bread/strong flour? Can't say I've noticed one while browsing the isles....But, not actually conciously looked for one, so not sure. If they don't then maybe that's why there's a lack of bread recipes.

My mum had one of these years ago, she would let me choose a recipe and we would make it together. I vaguely remember a recipe for pigs in blankets!

Her copy has long gone, probably lost in a house move, so I have purchased one for myself and one for her as a stocking filler.
