Mushroom Timbale (6)

When i was a student almost 40 years ago there were very few  vegetarian cookbooks around. In the UK the standard was Rose Elliots ” Not just a Load of Old Lentils” published in 1972- I still have my battered and coverless copy. This was a dish for highdays and holidays, including  Christmas Dinner.

  1. I am so excited to find this. I also had the book in the late 60’s and had since lost my copy which was falling apart anyway. Mushroom timbale was an absolute favourite with my children so I shall make it again for the next family reunion. Excellent!
