My copy of this book is old and tattered. It no longer has the cover and a bunch of pages are missing.
From what I can find on the internet, I believe I have the 1947 version. For example, someone is selling a 1953 version, but the recipes for dumplings and coffee cake doesn't match the page numbers of the recipes in my book, so that rules out that version.
I did see a version with the exact same pictures and a few recipes on the same pages as my version, which leads me to believe it's this book.
The book is as old as the other cookbooks I have, but the way it's presented makes it look and feel so much newer than the others. I think the Robin Hood publisher wanted these Prize Winning Recipes to be in a book worthy of them.
Are you keeping this blog alive ? I have a question about a recipe in your old 5 roses cookbook and/or the Robin Hood cookbook. In France, am looking for the fruit crumble recipe which does not use oats. In exchange I can give you the best ever moist banana bread recipe which doesn't darken and isn't too sweet. Will watch for a reply. Happy Christmas to you.
