The Dairy Book of Home Cookery is back for 2012 the kitchen staple that’s always ‘on trend’
Culinary trends and celebrity chefs come and go, but ‘The Dairy Book of Home Cookery’ continues to be the first choice for millions of homes across the UK. Now, the essential cookbook is back, and it’s better than ever.
The classic cookbook, which was first published in 1968, followed by a metricated version in 1978 and an updated edition in 1992, has been reworked to include new recipes and techniques, as well as old favourites, for the 2012 kitchen. So, whether you’re looking for a new cookbook that has everything you need to create traditional dishes or culinary masterpieces to wow your friends and family, you already own a previous edition that’s been used so much you need to replace it, or you want to hand down your cooking experiences to family members – The Dairy Book of Home Cookery is the perfect companion for any kitchen.
The new 2012 edition, from the makers of the Dairy Diary, retains readers’ favourite recipes, but also introduces new dishes and cooking methods to reflect the way we cook and eat today in an easy to read format with beautiful photography.
The Dairy Book of Home Cookery takes you through all the essential cooking techniques you need to know and features over 900 recipes, for just £10.49 (plus a one-off payment of £2.50 P&P if you order online) - from soups to sauces, dips to desserts, pastry to pickles, curries to cakes. It’s a staple item that offers something for every kitchen and cook, giving you recipes that you know will always work:
- Over 900 recipes
- 18 chapters
- Classic cooking techniques
- Nutritional facts for each recipe
- Easy-to-follow instructions
- Essential cook’s information
- Preparation advice on all major food groups
- Tips for success
- A ribbon page marker, so you quickly reach your favourite recipes!
Nick Rowe, executive editor, explains: “The previous editions of ‘Home Cookery’ sold over 3million copies, with the 1992 edition selling over 800,000 copies alone! However, we still get daily requests from people wanting to buy it again and again. It’s either someone who has an old version that needs replacing or parents and grandparents that want to give their children a copy when they leave home.
“To meet the demand, we felt it was time to republish the book. Since its last publication, we’ve seen many more techniques and ingredients become available, so this has been reflected to fit the needs of the 2012 kitchen.”
