All my recipes come from on line or well known chefs. Coming from a working class family Mum and ancestors would not have known what most if those dishes were let alone cook them.

Latterly mum used squash to make soup but everything she cooked was simply old fashioned working class fare. And very tasty it was!!

There are lots of sites online, where you will find recipes for these.

Just Google the recipe you want and you will be spoiled for choice.
It took me five seconds to find dozens of chicken stroganoff recipies. You then have the facility to print them out. I do it all the time.

I typed all my recipes up for my family and sent them to them. If they lose them, they know they are stored on my PC and also in the Cloud.

Good luck in your quest.

Years ago I copied down my mum's handwritten book of recipes but unfortunately my recipe box went missing during a move. angry

My younger sister has kept our late mum's book but unfortunately quite a few recipes are missing as the book, after many years, has fallen apart with age.

I am looking for these recipes, if anyone can help me:

1. Lemon curd
2. Vishyssois
3. Garlic soup
4. Mushroom soup
5. Butternut or pumpkin soup using nutmeg (my mum had a great South African recipe for this!, but alas ....)
6. Chicken Stroganoff
7. Chicken a la King

Your help will be much appreciated. I know I can perhaps find recipes on the internet but I prefer to use tried, tested and trusted family recipes!

Thanks again. xx
