To measure syrup, warm a metal spoon in boiling water or over a gas flame so that the syrup slides off easily. Slice the stem ginger and place it in the bottom of the basin with the 3 tablespoons of syrup from the jar. Move the pan around so the eggs are spread out evenly and cook for 1–2 minutes until the omelette is beginning to set. I bought my 1st copy of this no frills cookery book in 1967 when first married, from our milkman when there were daily milk deliveries to the doorstep. More than 17 chapters take you through all the home cooking knowledge and cooking techniques you could ever need, and include recipes for everything from soups to sauces, dips to desserts, roasts to risotto, pastry to pickles and curries to cakes.

I have very kindly been sent a copy of the 2012 Dairy Diary and The Dairy Book of Home Cookery to review. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. This book is the foundation for all the cooking (though the butter elements tend to be replaced by olive oil or margarine) that I do. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce.It’s about time I revived this tradition I think, especially in an age when being ‘green’ is so important. There are some useful preprinted lists in the diary too, Christmas cards, Gift ideas and a practical home budgeting section. Finally, to ensure success all recipes have been tested both by professional and amateur cooks - fascinating British recipes from Scotland to Cornwall! That book was the very first Dairy Book of Home Cookery, and it proved so popular with its fail-safe, triple-tested recipes that it was revised and reprinted in 1978, 1992, 2012 and 2018 (the Anniversary Edition).

Add butter, cut into flour with a knife, then rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Even if you have the original, treat yourself (and your friends) to a new copy of this very special anniversary edition. I love to cook when I get the chance, which to be honest isn’t as often as I would like due to a hectic life. The recipes are simple to follow but there is not a photo for every recipe but hey who needs a photo, if it goes wrong noboby knows what it should look like.

I've tried several and added cocoa powder to them to try and recreate it and while they've been good it isn't quite "the recipe".
