I have a hand written gathered from the years which book which in turn my daughter has copied ..I always added who and where I was given a recipe..
Also a WRI cookery book.The WRI is a rural womens group of long standing in Scotland.Calendar Girls film is the English version.
These recipes are comprehensive..and very Scottish.Sometimes several versions of one recipe are given.This may be due to the original book was by people donating recipes and may be to include each WRI group.
I have many books and like others fund raising here promote books..so I always add another when the chance comes up.
I believe some of the former day recipes using butter /sugar etc
were in vogue at a time when less aids were in the home..vacumn cleaners washing machines and easier run furnishings like duvets have meant less calories are burned doing housework.
My WRI recipes would be used by farming women where the men would need fuel to work hard so modifying these recipes for health reasons is a good idea..
