The two recipes I am sharing with you in this issue were my dear mother’s. Sadly, Mum passed away on November 5th last year, a few weeks shy of her 90th birthday. Fay – Mum – came from a line of very strong women, who were all fantastic cooks, and I could comfortably say that these recipes probably came from the generation before her, perhaps with Mum putting her own mark on the recipe. I have Mum’s cookbook, with many little pieces of tatted, browning paper and very scant instructions to make a fruit loaf, a pie or whatever, that had been collected over a lifetime, no doubt, from one of her many friends in the Women’s Institute or wherever. To me, cooking and good hospitality is about not just sharing good food, but ideas and recipes. I was very lucky from a very young age to be encouraged to go into her kitchen and help, and later, when I got older, create in the kitchen under my own steam. I have two older brothers, one sadly passed away 15 months ago, and they too were taught the basics by Mum, so that when we left home, we had the skills to be able to provide ourselves with a wholesome meal. I fear that many a younger generation are missing out on this blessing.
