It gives you the basics, e.g. how to boil an egg, how to cook potatoes, as well as giving you main meal recipes. It covers all the usual sections, starters, soups, meat, poultry, baking etc as well as sections on jams,chutneys and home freezing. It explains cookery terms such as baking blind, creaming etc. It as a good old fashioned, explain everything. basic cookery book with easy to follow instructions. My daughter is very pleased with it and tells me it the the first and only cookery book you will need.

I bought my first copy of this cookery book in 1978. It is useful because it has not only a reasonable range of basic recipes, but also methods and other useful information. My copy fell apart, and I was going to buy the appropriate DIY book repair items online so as to fix the book, but then I found this same edition second-hand, and bought it.

I brought this recipe book many years ago. It has great basic recipes for learners, along with more technical challenges. Mine fell to bits and had to be replaced. My children also wanted copies .
