Jane S Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 If you still think a 'slut' is someone who will take something to wear out of the laundry bin because it's cleaner than anything than anything else available, and if the first dish you ever cooked in your own bedsit was Poulet Marengo, you were of the generation that grew up blessing the name of Katharine Whitehorn and will be saddened to have read of her death.

Pas de Quatre Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 For nostalgia, I bought Cooking in a Bedsitter when it was reprinted in 2008, a friend had a copy when we were all vocational students living in bedsits and it was well used!

glowlight Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 'Cooking in a Bedsitter' was my cookery bible as a student in the 80's, and I have bought many copies since for students going away to college. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 My copy (price 3/6) lives in a plastic bag as all the pages fell out decades ago. I once, sometime around 1970, remarked to a (male) work colleague that my first recipe meal was Poulet Marengo and got the languid reply *Whose wasn't, dear?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
