A lot of you know that I have a bit of a cook book obsession, even though I rarely use my cook books for anything other than looking at the pretty pictures ;-) I still have the first cook book, I was ever given (well a copy of the same one anyway) and I love it as much now as I did when my Nana gave me her copy when I was ten years old....Be-ro cookbooks have been around since 1923 when the first edition, consisiting if 19 pages was first introduced and to date they've sold over 38million copies and they're up to the 40th edition which is the one I currently have.

One thing I did find that I was quite pleased with was a small amount of pudding rice so I thought that I would cook the kids some homemade rice pudding for after … [Read more...]
