This is probably my favourite recipe, I was fascinated by all things French and this pan fried sandwich seems so exotic.

Another recipe which seemed strange and difficult, remember we only had tiny iceboxes in our fridges in the 60's and 70's, so icecream was a real treat. I have made Baked Alaska but always find it a bit of a disappointment.

This is one of my favourite illustrations, the book is full of these gorgeous paintings by Martin Mayhew.
Aww isn't that fab - I don't remember having a cook book when I was young.
