Delia Smith - How to Cook

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of Delia Smith's recipes :D . My main problem, though is her How to Cook series of books. I was given the trilogy, one book at a time, by my in-laws, but each book has its own index. Today, I was looking for an almond and apple crumble recipe. I knew it was in one volume, but no idea which one. As luck would have it, I found it in the third volume I looked in :rolleyes:

My question is - is there an index for the whole series, either as a book or online, indicating in which volume a recipe can be found?

Many thanks, Penny. x

    I occasionally have the same problem. Drives me batty. Anyway. Solution i find, especially if you can't quite remember the specific title, is to use the search on her website. All her recipes, when they came from a book (i.e. not premium content i think), have at the bottom of the recipe which book they came from.

    e.g. the one for the christmas cake has at the bottom "this recipe is taken from delia smith's christmas".

    yes, i also find this very irritating! i have photocopied the indexes of book 2 and 3 and put them at the back of book 1. still not ideal, but it helps.....
