Just Like Mother Used to Make

by Tom Davies

This book takes you on a culinary tour of British comfort eating from nursery staples to school canteen classics, from inside the officers mess to City dining rooms. Tom Norrington-Davies asks why we all love the recipes we grew up with, why comfort food has become synonymous with junk food and what we can learn from days gone by. There is corn beef hash sticky toffee pudding, cottage pie, macaroni cheese, eggy bread, welsh rarebit, kedgeree, kippers, toad-in-the-hole, lemon curd, spotted dick and many more mouth-watering recipes that will make you feel ten and a half again.

If I wasn't already basically married and was quite certain that Tom N-D would fancy me I would go round to his house and camp there until he agreed to take me in, cook me everything from this book and then marry me and promise to cook me something out of it every day. Of course we'd have to hope Tom N-D likes fat girls because I'd be the size of a house but good lord those recipes look goooooooooood.

My all-time go-to cooking book :) Simple, satisfying recipes for basic dishes everyone ought to know from making tea to custard puddings!
