be-ro recipes onlineapparently the whole world has a be-ro book in their mum's kitchen cupboard...I'd never even heard of it until it became a rival for the bible on MSE.H'anyway, they have all their recipes online and they are almost all very straightforward "classic" cakes, breads, biccies etc: http://www.be-ro.co.uk/f_insp.htm (yes I'm going to check it's in the weblinks) |

I was given one by my mum when I left home sixteen years ago and I used it until it was in tatters. I left a message saying so and thanks on the be-ro site's guestbook and they sent me a free copy of their latest recipe book plus photocopies of their previous five issues!
Lovely people.

It was a drawer, but now it's with my cookbooks. Sometimes I let her borrow it.

I''ve never heard of it. Obviously my cookery book collection is woefully incomplete! | ||

Aha, it must be an old people's thing then 
The recipes on the site are very good...the book itself is only £1.50 or so, it's really a booklet (my friends had a new copy, suspected of being purchased by his mother)...and it's a place to go for all those cakes you made badly at school or used to get bought from the bakery, only these days you would probably use less luminous ingredients (there is a shocking looking rainbow cake to avoid though!) |

Ah. The Be-Ro book. That was the only cookbook my Mum had for years. She learned to cook from it, and I learned to make pastry. Sadly it disintegrated before it could become a holy family relic.
Definitely an old person's thing .

I love the Be-Ro book - my mum had a copy of it and when I left home I got a copy from her together with a Good Housekeeping Cook Book. Both have since disintergrated with over-use and new copies purchased.
Recently bought a friend of mine a copy of the Be-Ro book and she loves it! Well, if Judith is right we will be searching for the floral pinnies next! |

be-roI learned to bake with this book, I will however admit that when I was young I thought that be-Ro was a type of flour and not just a brand name

Floral pinnie? Who said floral pinnie? I can make those: anyone want one? And I remember the Be-Ro cookbook. Don't have one, though, but I'll start looking in Oxfam next time I'm in town! | ||

You won't find one. People don't get rid of them, they use them til they're in tatters then they tape them together and use them some more.
