I'm looking through some of my old cookery books for inspiration. This one is very much of its time, which is beginning to seem long ago! Lots of things stuffed with things, which rather went out of fashion, and even things in vegetarian aspic (ager ager), chaudfroid, rather fussy salads and a lot of pineapple. On the whole, some of this looks like too much hard work. That said, there are some useful recipes here too which I might revive. The title is actually "Not just a load of old lentils".
