I just got hold of my Nana's old copy, from which we spent many happy Sundays baking medeira cakes and buns.

Although the one star was for the Dick Turpin who has these up on here at a daylight-robbery extortion and not for the Be-ro recipe book itself. Be-Ro have just launched an updated version, the 41st edition, so I thought I would update my own copy. Now I need to avoid (at least for today) getting distracted by your lovely recipes - especially raspberry turnovers which are just to the right as I type this comment.your doctor will tell you that good, wholesome food is worth more than all the medicine in the world, especially for hungry, growing children. I have a small collection of old Be-Ro books including the one I bought for myself in the 1970's and a couple of very early editions of my mum's and grandma's. I've also got the 40th edition and confirm there is no flapjack recipe, but seeing as Be-ro is a brand of flour, and flapjacks don't contain flour, are you sure it was a bero recipe?

Maybe yours is like those rare postage stamps where there's something missing and it's worth a fortune! I have had other cookbooks but never used them for the basic baking recipes as I know that any recipe I try from Be-Ro works. Self-raising flour was more expensive and considered a novelty - consumers bought plain flour direct from the miller and self-raising flour was only sold into independent grocers.I have offered all the others around in my friends circle, they all just google if they are looking for something. As a result, a free recipe book was produced and handed out at the exhibitions as well as door to door. Chocolate cakes and things that are a bit different, I often use my “All Cakes Considered” book which is a US book I bought in SF.
