Be-Ro book recipes always seem to be very reliable. I used the shortcrust pastry recipe to make some tuna, herb, mayonnaise and potato tartlets. They were very simple to make but tasty too. This inspired me to do some research into the history of Be-Ro cookery. So this is what I found out. In the early 1920s Plain flour was most commonly used and Self-raising flour was seen as a novelty. So Be-Ro sold cakes made from the unusual Self-raising flour to raise its profile. These were so popular that people asked for the recipes and as such the Be-Ro cookery books were created. These books have been used by my family from probably at least the 1950s!
