Try my Granny’s Delicious

Old-Fashioned Recipes

The ‘Nostalgic Cook Book’ reveals all the delicious, healthy, inexpensive and forgotten recipes of yesteryear!

I miss my grandmother for many reasons… but one thing I often reminisce about is her delicious meals.

She didn’t have much money, but we always ate really well – every day she cooked delicious healthy dishes, no ready-made meals in those days!

Before my granny passed away at the grand old age of 94, and having hardly suffered a serious day’s illness in her life, she made sure that I received all her secret recipes.

My husband and I use these recipes every week and it’s no wonder that we have a very healthy family with children who refuse to eat junk food and taste less supermarket prepared foods.

I wanted to make sure that granny’s recipes lived on so I decided to write this book. I did extensive research and added a number of other traditional recipes to those of my grandmother, and compiled ‘The Nostalgic Cook Book’- the ultimate book of old-fashioned recipes including many war time recipes that kept our workforce both happy and healthy, and kept our soldiers fit to fight in the battlefields!

The recipes are easy to make, inexpensive, tasty, and guaranteed to provide at least five fruit and vegetables per day that every healthy body needs.

‘The Nostalgic Cook Book’ makes it all so simple with advice on seasonal produce making it so easy for you to know exactly what to shop for the whole year round.
