1971 fannie and Johnnie cradock cookery magazinesFannie and Johnnie cradock cookery magazines from 1971
This is an original binder with 15 magazines inside, numbers 47 through to 61. Dating from 1971 when Fanny was at her most popular. Fascinating look at not only the recipes ideas of the period but also the kitchen design and the latest gadgets. This is a heavy item hence the postage, but I am willing to sell the magazines individually.
