In the still-rural village of my 1960\u2019s childhood
\nwe had already gained a reputation for adventurous cooking at home\u2026<\/p>\n
Mum being an Elizabeth David fan.<\/p>\n
My sister\u2019s classmates gathered round her when she brought ingredients<\/p>\n
for spaghetti bolognese<\/p>\n
to domestic science class.<\/p>\n
Guest toyed, curious,<\/p>\n
with the soy sauce<\/p>\n
placed on the table with more usual condiments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A scone pizza recipe<\/p>\n
sealed our celebrity in the street,<\/p>\n
so easy for us kids to make,<\/p>\n
on large rectangular baking tins.<\/p>\n
Tomatoes, cheese,<\/p>\n
herbs and garlic (unheard of).<\/p>\n
