The arrival of Christmas is usually accompanied by a mix of emotions not the least a little nostalgia for things of the past that have impacted on our lives over the years.
That’s why it’s so easy to be enamoured with newly released recipe book, The Way We Used To Cook, by June Holm.
From the fabric casing and charming cover image, reminiscent of the 1950s, through to what some might consider, wholesome, old-fashioned recipes, there is something comforting about this delightful, not too big cookbook.

It’s all about making meals that taste great, using ingredients that most folk would have in the pantry or fridge and are the sort of food that has been cooked generation after generation.
This selection of timeless recipes, designed to warm the heart and fill the stomach, includes soups, salads, Sunday lunches, roasts, preserves and of course cakes, slices, cookies, and pies.
Instructions are thorough and easy to follow with each recipe accompanied by a full page photograph of the dish in question.
A very handy cookbook, with a great selection of meals and treats — remember making soda bread and cornbread, melting moments and strawberry shortcake — it would make a lovely gift under the Christmas tree.
It is ideal for young homemakers new to the pleasures of the past and for experienced cooks who like nothing better than to reminisce over old favourites. A foreword to each section offers helpful tips, equipment hints, measurements and more.
And just to tempt readers further, publishers New Holland have kindly granted permission for us to extract one festive recipe from The Way We Used to Cook by June Holm.
