Recipe book for range cooker

4 replies

Ginfox · 01/08/2014 11:41

I'm about to move into a house with an oil-fired range (Stanley). Can anyone recommend a good recipe book/manual for first-timers? I'm a reasonably competent cook.

TIA

Stanley do one here

I don't know how the ovens work on this make, but Mary Berry's Aga cookbook is a very useful reference - great in a holiday place we rented which had one.

Thanks Wow. I did have a look on their website but didn@t find that one.

The Mary Berry book is quite pricey on Amazon - even 2nd-hand - but might get it later if I need to.

Did you get the hang of the range easily on your holiday?

Hi Ginfox - yes: it was easy peasy once I understood what each oven did; thank you Dame Mary Smile. I'm not sure how you deal with it if you bake - you cannot control the temperatures in the same way as with a conventional gas or electric oven. For cooking it was great though - the roasting oven was the most frequently used one.

I suspect there will be a few failures before I get the hang of it. Thanks again for your help Wow.
