Throughout the many years as a country housewife and cooking for her family and friends Mary Rose Quigg adapted these recipes to give us this lovely collection. You will find that the dishes are easy to prepare and can be used for day to day cooking or for entertaining. Another added bonus is that most of the required ingredients can be purchased in local supermarkets. The wide range of nourishing dishes includes satisfying soups, wonderful fish, meat and poultry dishes, exciting ways to use vegetables and make salads, preserves and marinades, old favourite puddings and luscious desserts. The baking section covers pastry, delicious cakes and great selection of bread recipes. With pages of tips included, this practical book will be the most useful one on your kitchen shelf.
