Rubbish cook books

Mummycat

I love to cook and have quite a few recipe books, only one of them had a recipe for either flakey or puff pastry and I could find no recipe for rough puff pastry. Several of the books had recipes needing puff pastry, but they all said "shop bought", I don't want to buy it ready made, it's mostly horrible and expensive too, especially in larger quantities, if you can buy it in large quantities, most packs would barely be enough for a couple of pasties.

I get really fed up of recipe books that don't tell you the basics, I might only make puff or flakey pastry once or twice a year so I don't remember the recipes, but why is it so difficult?

  • When I was in my late teens, my maternal grandmother gifted me a copy of Mrs Beeton's Book of Cookery and Household Management, which I consider to be the best cookery book I own. In terms of pastry, it lists the recipes for:

    Butter crust pastry, Choux pastry, Common sweet short crust pastry, Filo pastry, Flaky pastry, Hot water crust pastry, Puff pastry, Rough puff pastry, Short crust pastry, Suet crust pastry, and Wholemeal short crust pastry.

    If you would like me to provide you with the recipe for Rough puff pastry, please let me know Mummycat.
