About Pamela McBride

Pamela McBride began her career as a dinner lady in 1968. After several years as Head Cook in a primary school she became a weekend chef in a care home.

She keeps her recipes in a little blue book: savoury recipes at one end, sweet at the other, plus a whole assortment of clippings, labels and coupons.

The recipes cater for large quantities using simple, inexpensive ingredients.

Now retired, Pamela has fond memories of her varied career, especially the school trips to Portland Bill. She likes puffins and children, probably in that order.
