Lately I have begun to yearn to taste the food of times gone by and have begun to collect recipes from family, friends and anyone who give them to me. As I get the time, I will write pieces to go with them and place them on this page The recipes on these pages come from a time prior to the days of calorie counting and main aim of them were to fill and feed hungry bellies on a limited budget. While a lot of the ingredients were what today you would call organic, i.e. grow on allotments and smallholding using none chemical manures or raised on local farms using natural feedstuff; most recipes also used butter, dripping, lard and other fats in the cooking process.
