When Rebecca Sullivan's beloved Great Grandmother Lilly passed away Rebecca realised the wealth of knowledge that had gone with her, including Lilly's prize-winning recipe for Victoria sponge. Rebecca decided to make it her mission to collect and gather as many skills and recipes as she could, from all the nonnas, yiayias and grannies willing to share their treasured secrets with her.
Rebecca is the face of the new "granny skill" movement – a growing community of women who share and preserve these traditions by collecting and passing them on. In this book, Rebecca recreates the tastes, smells, clever crafts and tips of Grandma's kitchen and home, sharing more than 100 recipes and practical home crafts, all beautifully photographed.
Burnt your saucepan? No worries – a quick fix of boiling water, vinegar and baking soda will have it gleaming as fast as you can whip up a batch of Granny's finest scones. Wondering if your jam is ready? Try Nonna Rosa's saucer test. Crammed with useful tips and tricks and wonderful, wholesome recipes, Like Grandma Used to Make is a wonderful gift and the absolute go-to manual for anyone looking to reconnect with the simplicity and goodness of days gone by.
