I must look out for old/vintage cookery books - yours always look fascinating.<br /><br />I do like the sound of that chocolate cake and those patriotic biscuits would be perfect to help use up the patriotic sprinkles I bought for the Jubilee celebrations - they take some using up - I've got most of the container remaining!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-24969067056437551462012-06-25T18:35:11.937+01:002012-06-25T18:35:11.937+01:00I always enjoy History Corner.

There was a great 'household management' one (not Mrs Beeton) which I loved - she used to make rock cakes from it. And a couple of Fanny Craddock ones that scared the life out of me! It's great to see how the history of cooking has developed :)Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-68447369202545080332012-06-24T21:54:30.037+01:002012-06-24T21:54:30.037+01:00Now that sounds like a proper icing.
