woolybanana Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Norman, your theme today is hunger and poverty. Could it be that the begging is not going too well? I told you not to wear the loincloth as it sometimes slips and what is revealed frightens your potential donors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoss Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 A glance at the Cheeseboard's price list gives me the feeling that someone has a concept of "skint" which is rather different from mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 [quote user="Christine Animal"]Jocasta Innes... [/quote]I remember her! [I]Didn't she used to be on telly a lot, at the time of Changing Rooms and all that decorating phase?She used to have a run of "decorating" shops where you could take a few courses. My boss at the time paid for a Mosaic course and I also did a Painted Floor Cloth, both of which I really enjoyed...I had no idea she had written a cookery book! Something worth investigating... Thanks for the link![:)]Edit: Evidently, she wrote more than one cookery book...http://www.amazon.fr/... field-keywords=Jocasta+Innes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 You're dead right Clair. All I knew about her was my little Pauper's Cookbook.Jocasta Innes, Writer, Cook and Paint Specialist [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 As an alternative to Jocasta Innes' book, I'd suggest Saint Delia of the Smith's very own Frugal Food, re-issued in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-element Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've still got my copy of "The Pauper's cookbook" too, and I consult it occasionally - always with results,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Katherine Whitehorn's "Cooking in a Bedsitter" kept me alive in the 1960s, and I still return to it for pancake batter, chocolate mousse, and zabaglione - as well as for Mediterranean Fish and a host of other tasty things.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
