Good Old Fashioned School Dinners

Product Description

Reissued perfectly in time for the school summer holidays 2013, Portico's superb cookbook, Good Old Fashioned School Dinners, will transport you back to those halcyon days of school canteens, evoking the smells, flavours, tastes & textures, of beef cobbler, spam fritters, chocolate concrete & jam roly-poly. If you remember lusting after a Chopper, a Space Hopper or even The Milky Bar Kid, then chances are you'll also have had school dinners like this. Steaming pies, sloppy mash & puddings drowning in custard evoke a plethora of memories, some good, others frankly awful
- depending on what you had served up when you reached the front of the lunch queue. Good Old Fashioned School Dinners is replete with recipes to make over fifty dishes, including both traditional favourites & meals that were strictly school-canteen-only. They are all tried & tested, prised from the apron pockets of school cooks or otherwise recreated as authentically as possible. Cook yourself back to a golden age when tank tops were cool & lapels were so wide you could catch them on door frames. Fill your kitchen with glorious smells & fill the stomachs of loved ones with custard
- you could even round up a few friends & have a 'back-to-school' dinner party.
