Last Monday evening I took part in a very enjoyable research group with 13 ladies.
Each had been using the Dairy Book of Home Cookery over the past few weeks and had recorded their thoughts on it in the Dairy Diary.
We were trying to find out how to improve the book for its new launch next year – the overwhelming response was ‘don’t fix it if it aint broke’! Everyone who uses this book – from young to old – loves it! So with a few very minor teaks I think we can make a great book even better. The ‘tweaks’ we agreed on were:
- Modern cover
- New more contemporary recipe shots
- Nutritional information for each recipe
- Better portion sizes (this was its only criticism)
- The addition of some new ‘classics’, such as wraps, tacos and risottos
- Remove fondues!
As a Dairy Book of Home Cookery fan, do you have any suggestions for the new book?
