A SECOND BLOG

I started writing my blog “Morning, Noon and Night” a few months ago. Every now and then I included recipes from very old cookery books that have been lying around our house for as long as I can remember. They are faded and tatty and have been handed down from generation to generation.

Sometimes, hidden among the pages are old handwritten recipes and cuttings from magazines.

I decided I would record some of these old recipes for posterity by posting them from time to time on this second blog site. I’ve started off with some of the most basic. Some of the old cookery books really started from scratch in a way that is seldom done today. So simple recipes for boiled cabbage, mashed potatoes and rice pudding will appear.

There will probably be some scattered household hints too.

The photographs are a bit of an assortment really. They are often unrelated to the posting but rather a reminiscence of the way things used to be.

I hope you enjoy reading these old recipes and might want to try some of them.

I can’t vouch that they will all be delicious but I’m sure most will.

I’m just recording. Not cooking!
