This cookery book was published in 1984 and includes some recipes by Mary Berry. I have had this book since it was first published and have used and reused it on a regular basis. I bought this copy for my daughter. We both swear by it. The recipes are straight forward and produce some very tasty meals and desserts. Each recipe includes handy hints which are very useful. The food is unnaturally lurid and laid on scarlet tablecloths. The distinction between savoury and sweet has collapsed. Glacé cherries, peaches and bananas are paired with pork products. Most disturbing of all is the turkey in aspic, a hunk of cold poultry and mandarin orange segments suspended in a piss-coloured jelly set as firm as perspex. Everything is round or swirly; pineapple rings, fish mousse shaped like a life buoy, concentric circles of tiny cream rosettes. The effect is trippy, mesmerising.Hamlyn All Colour Cookery: 200 Low Fat Dishes: Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook: Over 200 Delicious Recipes and Ideas I bought this book for my daughter as I used it constantly in the 1970's/80's. when she was growing up. The recipes and instructions were very easy to follow and and there was a picture of every dish with each recipe. My daughter expressed a yearning for some of the meals she enjoyed in her growing up years so I thought she could try them out for herself. I own 96 cookbooks. Most of them are on a teak bookcase in my kitchen, but there are some in the shed, the bedroom, the living room, the utility room and the roof space. I also have four box files stuffed with recipes ripped from newspapers and magazines, and several butter-smeared notebooks of hand-written notes and menus. For my whole childhood my mother cooked from one book: the Hamlyn All Colour Cook Book.
