The chiller cabinets at the shop at the top of the road are on the fritz. So, beans on toast or a takeaway. Hmm.
ETA: beans on toast + bacon. Yay!

TV Chefs were/are a strange breed. I remember Fanny Craddock when I was a child
Gawds, she was odd, & ‘The Galloping Gourmet’ was always Hissed…

That’s taking me back to doughnuts, Carinthia…
While I find it hard to become anything like engrossed in TV food porn, I love a good recipe book and, also, the wonderful ability of the Internet to provide a recipe (or at least the inspiration) for the ingredients I possess at any given time.

I have my mother’s recipe books, Soo. Favourite pages had to be unstuck…
I remember learning about cuts/joints of meat from her Oxo book of Fish, Meat, Poultry & Game…

I still refer to Mam’s Bero Book and to the Dairy Book of British Food. I also refer to books, new and old, that remain in my collection. Goodness knows what we’ll eat, tomorrow. Cooking can be (and is, in my case) a great hobby and diversion.

I had a rather odd aunt who used to give everyone even odder presents. She gave me the Findus Book of Fish Cookery for my 21st birthday - I never quite got my head around that.
Mind you, it wasn’t as odd as the present she gave Lou for her 2nd birthday. It was made out of pink felt and none of us ever worked out what it actually was.
That’s a classic, TFM.
