While keeping many of its original recipes, the new edition of this popular cookbook has many new "basic" ones arising from changes in the range of available foods, cooking methods and eating habits. Instructions for microwaving many of these recipes are included.

This book contains beautifully illustrated recipes, which have been retained from the original Dairy Book of Home Cookery. A major feature of this edition is the inclusion of instructions for cooking many of the recipes in a microwave oven.
