retro cookery

 

Just back from the hairdressers, which is another job done, however next door to my hairdressers is a charity shop, I always pop in and have a mouch. Here are today finds:

two retro pyrex steak plates for a £1!!!

and a retro cookbook, the complete farmhouse kitchen cookbook published in 1975 by Yorkshire Television! I am just having a quick look through and hope to post some retro recipes on here later!
