I've still got mine and don't use it so much now.

I loved the Dairy Diary and still use a couple of recipes torn from those - DH's favourite is Father's Day Steak!! The diaries helped to keep our lives running smoothly. They had all sorts of information in.

I’ve still got mine from years ago when the children were small. I’ve also got the Dairy Book of British Food. Use them both regularly.

How much does it cost please?
I'm going to text my milkman

I used it only yesterday to double check the quantities for scones. Great book!

My Dairy cookbook went to my DD after she got married, along with the Cadburys's chocolate cookbook and my WI book. She made good use of them, so I suppose they went to a good home.

I too remember having one of those books which I loved with their easy to follow recipes. I've looked in charity book shops but to no avail. I never knew what had happened to that book as it was my favourite among others.
I love the old cookery books.

I remember the Dairy Cookbook, I also bought it from my milkman in my first year of marriage. Have absolutely no idea where it is now though.

My day is made! A new edition is available through our Milkman, this book along with a set of Delia taught me to cook for my family when I was younger and is now held together with string. I am showing how I have changed, I used to be furious with DH if he bought a cookbook as a present, but this morning to find this offer on our doorstep has made my day, along of course with a promised visit by DGD and parents later. A useless post but cannot get over how delighted I am to replace such an old favorite and I have to tell someone!
