While at a boot sale i spotted the Isle of Wight cookery book which was compiled by the women's institute and first publication date of 1934
Some great recipes in there and also a few things to make you giggle like
Hair restorer ..... 1oz of castor oil, oil of almonds, lime water, 2 drops attar of roses and 2 drams of tincture of spanish fly, mix well together and rub into area
lol mde me giggle as hubby doesn't have a hair on his head but he won't let me try it out.
It also has an interesting idea for pastry and that is if you melt the butter or lard and beat it to a cream before adding to the flour only half the required amount will be needed. Sounds great to me in this day and age of trying to save a little here and there.
If anyone wants ideas for making their own furniture polishor other things let me know and i'll pass on the recipe
