Sheffield School Dinners Cook Book

[Lionel Richtea 9]

For years I've heard rumours of this exisiting with recipes for cheese croquettes, chocolate pinwheels and the rest.

 

I've had a search on here (and Google) and can't find anything - perhaps my search skills leave something to be desired.

 

Anyone able to help out? Would love to treat the kids to the experience of an 80s school dinner!

 

Thanks

Good idea for a cookbook - would sell well locally.

Just had a quick look for you on a PDF download site I used to use. No results. Good luck with this!

About 10 - 15 years ago there was a Sheffield cookbook that was heavily advertised in the city centre, I think I first saw it for sale in the Winter Garden's Museum. 

Had a quick look online - it's not this is it?

Perhaps a little earlier - Cheese flan, before it went all posh & became quiche .

Came in a big alloy tray, sectioned into squares, each with a slice of tomato & cooked to perfection 😋.

'Treat the kids' to 'Cheese croquettes', 'chocolate pinwheels' .

The 80's sound bloody horrible.

60'S / 70'S Proper meals, where 'Ladle's' ruled, one for dishing out 'Thick Gravy' t'other 'Semolina frogs eggs' or thick yellow 'Custard'.  

First few in line for the custard, got the 'Skin' 😋

Keep safe & eat well

My mrs’ favourite as a kid 
 

She made it for our tea one night not long backs.

I'm in that book! 😮

I have recipes and costings for Sheffield school meals, circa 1950/ 1960 era.  Also wages of some kitchen staff of the same time, and some dating back to the  late 1940's.

I will look them out and put them on this post. I remember going in to the kitchen of Fox Hill school canteen.
