Cream Horns and Vol-au-vents is my latest book - teaching food in an East London comprehensive school in the 1970s.

Pru Leith says it's a 'must read!!'

More tales of teaching boys and girls how to cook. Strikes, the three-day week, and burglars stealing my cookers.

Roller coaster teaching how to make cream horns and starch and iron a tray cloth for Invalid Cooking - essential learning for the dreaded exam. It's a Pick'N'Mix of stories about a year in my London life from 1973-74.

New foods - more Angel Delight flavours, avocados, Mateus Rosé, Harvey Wallbanger cocktails...

So far I've written over 70 books, on food and textiles for education.

And one very popular book on my favourite hobby - Mudlarking - it's called Guide to Mudlarking.
