Cream Horns and Vol-au-vents is my latest book, the sequel to I taught them to cook - teaching food in an East London comprehensive school in the 1970s.

Pru Leith says it's a 'must read!!' Check out the reviews.

More tales of teaching boys and girls how to cook. A time of strikes, the three-day week, and burglars stealing my cookers.

Roller coaster teaching how to make cream horns and starch and iron a tray cloth for Invalid Cooking - essential learning for the dreaded exam. It's a Pick'N'Mix of stories about a year in my London life from 1973-74.

New foods - more Angel Delight flavours, avocados, Mateus Rosé, Harvey Wallbanger cocktails...

So far I've written over 70 books, on food and textiles for education.

And one book on my favourite hobby - Mudlarking!
