While I get my act together to write up the blueberry pie (my final pie, mini pecan tarts, won’t be posted as I went way off-recipe), why not enjoy the wise, graphic counsel of Barbara Hammond, from Cooking Explained (1963)?
Posted by Elly, with thanks to Salada for sending it to us.
Those mini pecan tartlets may have been off recipe, but they were one of the best things I have eaten in a long time. I will happily volunteer to try any other variations of the recipe you feel the need to work with!
I bought a card of “How to Make Pastry Attractive” from the British Library shop, you must get one!

Jax – I know! Do you still use it? Do you have a favourite recipe from it?
“Cooking Explained” – first published 1963; contains much frugal advice and reliable recipes. Possibly due for a revival.
yes…from time to time,its one of many.
