They are looking a bit worse for wear these days but I could never part with them. I have never been tempted to try any of the recipes from the Home Made Beer and Wine section but, never say never!!
It was the highlight of my day, getting my feet up with a cup of coffee, and watching dear old Dorothy Sleightholme in her Farmhouse Kitchen! I couldn't wait to send off my cheque to Yorkshire Television for the collection of recipes at the end of the series!
I just remembered I had those! I found a set at a car boot sale a few years ago. Farmhouse Kitchen Recipes, More Farmhouse Kitchen Recipes and Further Farmhouse Kitchen Recipes. Just dug them out and having a lovely read with a cuppa.
Over the years though in times of trouble I always return to Tightwad Gazette (Amy Dacyczyn) and How to Feed Your Family on Five Pounds a Day (Bernadine Lawrence) supplemented by some of the old style threads on stretching pennies.0 -
