I ate one tin of garden peas but they weren’t great.
The peas we had at school, were they dried peas that came with a white hard thing?

My old mum taught me the basics, but I'm largely self-taught thanks to my trusty copy of Delia and my Be-Ro cakes and buns book. The treacle roll is from a 1905 Daily Mail cookery book.
I did all the cooking when I got wed and throughout my marriage, passing on some basic skills to the grandkids and showing them what to do. I don't know if they will cook stuff for themselves or just buy ready meals to warm up in the microwave. (Ugh).
I could be wrong, but have they stopped doing domestic science in schools? A great pity if so.
