I collected Marguerite Patten's Perfect Cooking as separate chapters in the early 70's; I think they were given away with petrol at that time. I sent away for the binder and later I borrowed the book from the public library and my future FIL kindly typed out the index for me, as it didn't have one.
It was my cookery 'bible' throughout university and early years of marriage.
In 1977 I bought the Dairy cookbook from the milkman and that has been my standby since then. I also have Mum's Bero recipe book that I keep, mainly for the Melting Moments recipe.
