I remember buying this before going to live in a bedsit in Clyde Road in West Didsbury, Manchester in 1975. It has the label of the long-gone Robert Fludd bookshop inside it - 65 Palmerston Road, Southsea, phone number Portsmouth 25345. There were several bookshops in Southsea at that time. Where are they now? I never used the book.

A cookbook for those on a budget, this nice little book was a lifesaver for me in college. I tried many of the recipes, some successful, some not so, perhaps due to my ineptitude. But it's a nice useable book for the impecunious college student. ( )

A classic of its time - my Mum gave me this book to take up to university in 1978. I did use it too, but not until my second year when I moved into London bedsitland and the joys of a two-ring Baby Belling cooker! ( )
