My Mum's
Yorkshire Puddings, Corned Silverside (Corned Beef), Meat and Potato Pie, Cornish pasties,
Apple, Rhubarb, Blackberry or Gooseberry pie, Custard Tarts amongst a lot of other things

One thing my Mum did do wrong was overcook Vegetables
I like them on the crispy side and her's were all mushy.

I love to cook also and was taught a lot from my Mum and Grandma.
When my Grandaughter comes to stay with me I let her help me too. I don't think a lot of mothers show their children how to cook these days.
WE were also taught it in school and I don't think they do it in a lot of the schools Such a shame.

My Dad always used to say that I was a better cook than my Mum. Mind you she used to say it also. She cooked because she had to. I cook because I like it.

Hello Harry,
My Mums' shepherds pie...which I have mastered :0))
Leek and potato soup.
Meatballs
Sweet and sour pork
Oooh there are lots that I wish I'd had recipes for!

Have a happy Christmas x

Thanks for those replies and best wishes.

Roxanne - snap and snap again.

Happy days Merry christmas and beyond, to all

Home made shepherd's pie. Mum makes them with the left over roast beef minced...some onion and fluffy mashed potato...gorgeous. when we visit we usually scrounge some for our freezer

It has to be her pastry making skills,

she wasnt much of a mother, but her pastry was to die for

mine is a bit like cardboard lol

merry christmas Harry to you and Mrs Happy Days

Meat and potato pie is also a favorite, Pea and Ham Soup,too made with ham shank and Dumplings.My goodness there are just too many:-)

My later Dad was a better cook then Mum, I have yet to taste gravy like he used to make.

Hello Harry love,


My Mum was, and is still quite adventurous. I love her quiches, all types and so yummy and her veggie cottage pie, yummy!

Favourite foods from the past, your mother used to make and you can,t quite replicate the taste..

My favourite was cheese pie - which actually contained onions; bacon; and obviously cheese.

Yours?

Happy days
