As a housewife in the early sixties I lived in a back-to-back one-up-one-down house. We had a cooker with four burners and an oven - no one had a grill. There were no fridges, no microwaves, no take-aways apart from fish and chips. When you went shopping you got what you were given no picking your own. You went home with a bag of raw ingredients and you cooked. Women's magazines stepped into the breach, full of helpful hints and know-how. I cut recipes from them and from newspapers, copied some from books, friends gave others. Later I took up catering as a profession. These recipes are from my home recipe file collected in the sixties and seventies. They could make a comeback today when we seem to be going backwards into a New Age of Austerity. You will find lots of inventive and innovative ways to feed yourself and family. Sad it has to be black and white, colour costs too much. Enjoy!
