"I found the recipe tucked inside one of my cookery books. It is handwritten and I'm not sure whose handwriting it is as the style is old fashioned so it could be one of my Auntie Mary's recipes, I know it's wasn't written by my mother although it could be one of her recipes as Mary and her were sisters, so who knows."
