    Not unexpected considering she was 99 years old.

    I've had her cookery books since the day I got married. Without her working for the Ministry of Food during the war, I think there would have been many wives who would have crumbled under rationing.

    She's saved my bacon more than a few times on the home front when pennies were tight and inspiration lacking.

    Thank you, Marguerite and RIP

      Yes, we've still got her books :blue thumb: The recipes are so easy to follow. We don't use her books any more but we keep them for sentimental reasons :smile:

        She taught me how to cook casseroles in the 60's and I was grateful for her gentle style that encouraged me to try new things
        RIP dear Lady,

          Is this edible or would it require a trip to A&E if eaten!
