  • Ginger lime loaf

    • Sparkles75 on July 27, 2019

      This is such a delicious little loaf cake. Well with trying if you are a fan of ginger. We all loved it and the lime icing goes beautifully with it.

  • Bottled spaghetti

      Very good spaghetti recipe! I have made this two years in a row when tomatoes are plentiful. Definitely a keeper.

This edition is in American measurements.

At 95 years old, the lovely Dulcie May Booker shares her 76 best recipes and cooking tips in this handsome volume peppered with reminiscences and photographs of her life as dressmaker, market gardener and homemaker extraordinaire. Compiled by Dulcie's granddaughter, self-confessed foodie Natalie Oldfield, this cookbook will satisfy the current interest in traditional cookery in a personal way, by focusing on one woman's authentic, tried-and-true versions of everyone's favourite dishes. Beautifully-produced and laden with at least one gorgeous full page image per recipe, Gran's Kitchen is practical nostalgia: it contains easy-to-follow instructions on how to make Dulcie's excellent, classic fare, from hearty fisherman breakfasts to dance supper dainties, as well as Dulcie's secrets to award-winning baking, cooking and preserves. Continuing the home cooks' tradition of sharing recipes with each other, tucked in with Dulcie's recipes are favourites from family and friends, some old, some new. Gran's Kitchen is Natalie's tribute to her grandmother and the love of cooking she has inspired.
