MillyB - Some of the recipes in my gran's book feed very large families. However, I have adjusted them to suit me. I do use farm eggs and fresh farm milk so maybe that helps.
Others are for rabbit, which I have a thing about, although I did eat it once in France. The only reason I'm squeamish about it is that when I was a young teenager, I saw rabbits that had died from myxamatosis and that put me off eating them.
Spring - We had some mutton the other week. Jody Schrechter (the ex racing driver) has an organic farm a few miles from us and we bought it from him. It was delicious.

This one is
The Complete Illustrated Cookery
over two thousand recipes and hints on-
housework, kitchen equipment, marketing, vegetable cookery, invalid cookery, pickles and preserves, beverages, carving, table service
Edited by 'Chef'
Associated Newspapers Ltd
1934
Quite fun to read.
My mum has the same recipe book and I also love it, very easy to follow and the recipes are the classics and not mucked about by the so called "celeb" chefs!
My SIL borrowed it years ago and then "forgot" to return it  eventually it turned up when brother and SIL went their separate ways 4 years ago and it was returned to mum 
Jenny
The thing I miss most is the smell of my nan's kitchen there was always a lovely smell of homemade baking. Perhaps I should do more baking o give my granddaughter the same lovely warm memory

I have embroidered bits and pieces from my grandmother, g-grandmother and x's grandmother. I have x's grandmother's sewing box, too, which she gave me because I was interested in handcrafts. She was a great one for tapestry.
I have my grandmother's jewellery, all of which, as her only grand-daughter, she left to me. I am sure some of it belonged to her mother, but can't prove it. I wear some of it, particularly some earrings, a diamond ring, and a faux silver bracelet with pale blue stones. I love looking through it. Most of it is costume jewellery, but there are three sets of pearls in there. I don't wear them as I am afraid they might need restrung.

I've got some pretty but very fragile glass Christmas baubles that we had when I was a child ... they may have been grandmothers. I don't use them for fear of the cats breaking them !

I've got some of the glass Christmas ornaments my grandmother's father bought her from FAO Schwartz in New York City in 1901 for her first Christmas.

Our house is very lived in!!
) it was like looking at the face of an old friend...SO familiar, the carolers and the steeple and the lamp post and the outline of the trees! I couldn't believe it when I saw it!
