Hi!! mummy, Some good help:-
Why not go to the library, use the reference dpt., and spend some time browsing the various cook, books, English, Scottish, Welsh, and masses of foreign recipes.?
Another idea, why not take your husband with you.?
I`m genuingly trying to help, not being facetious.
My mother taught us all to cook. Very wise.
