Carol Wright’s Flat Cook Book
“There are a lot of Cook Books — but not like this”
Carol Wright, a young cook at the time, developed a cookbook for people ‘suddenly faced with the problems of feeding themselves after years of Mum’s cooking’. Although written in the 1960s, the advise and recipes are, on the whole, just as relevant today as they were then.
The chapters range from what to buy for the kitchen to eating in with a flat mate to inviting someone round on a date (‘Cooking to Captivate’). Even if you no longer live in a flat share, Carol Wright’s Flat Cook Book is a pleasant read.
