In the “V.1.P.” section there are also recipes from Lady Manning (Braised Steak), Mrs

Treena Kerr, wife of Mr Graham Kerr (Madras Beef Curry), and Lady Hillary (Baked Caramel Custard). Lady Porritt’s recipe is for Melon with Prawns.

A collection of young people's recipes includes many foreign dishes, such as Paella from Spain, Beef Stroganoff from Russia, and several Chinese meals.

The book has a good cross, section of economy recipes, including suggestions for meals, cakes, biscuits, soups', and puddings that will provide home cooks with the inspiration they are constantly seeking.
