Another great example of why so many of us loved being off school in the 70s. My nan’s house, a tiny bit of a cold, Lucozade with cellophane, Junior Dispirin & tele like this. Utter bliss.
_"My nan’s house, a tiny bit of a cold, Lucozade with cellophane, Junior Disprin"_ ... Strange but true, I was only reminiscing about this a couple of days ago. Lucozade seemed to taste so much better back then, and you only really got it if you were ill. Loved the weird, synthetic orange taste of Junior Disprin, too ;)
Yes life was simpler and happy here then. No Muslim terrorists threatening our lives. We will never get those days back. Especially now we have Starmer in power.
They had a field day with the Marjorie and Joan sketches. Compare with Mary Berry and Judith Chalmers cookery programme in the mid seventies (on RUclips)
As a young bride of two months in 1971 I remember watching this wonderful cookery program in our first home, it brings back so many happy memories. Glad to say I still love cooking for my hubby ,also our family and grand children when they visit us.
My mammy a herdsmans wife would watch it Monday dinner time. Dorothy Sleightholme was a real farmers wife and said it straight. We got it on Westward till 1979.
If possible please upload some more from this fantastic series, it’s needed now more than ever as it provides a little oasis in this sometimes frightening world.
I agree , I love to immerse myself in my nostalgic childhood when life was so much better but we had not a lot of anything . Life was so much better back then ❤
Aren't the good manners and civility very refreshing? No screeching, showing off, boasting, or faux friendliness - just respect, pleasantness, and sincerity.
I have such fond memories of this series, I still have the Farmhouse Cookbook which I received for my 16th birthday, i still use Mrs Robins Fruitcake and I loved Grace Mulligan…. Happy days from down to Earth no nonsense Women!
I also received this book when I was 16 (1984) and I used to imagine preparing all the recipes when I had my own home and was married! 40 years later I still use this book regularly and am happily married.
Used to watch this with my mum. I remember we made peppermint creams, I think we always added too much flavouring to things, but who cared we were having fun. These ladies came across as kind and calm, Fanny Craddock was very gruff 😊❤
I’d forgotten this programme 😮 it used to be on when I was little, my nana loved cooking programmes. She used to let me try to bake cakes and biscuits bless her,they were probably awful but she used to act like they were the most amazing thing she had ever eaten 😂 oh I miss her and those lovely times we had ❤
Thank you so much for posting this gem! My Grandma was a British war bride who came to the U.S. and missed her home in England every day until she passed away. Sometimes, we'd get to see some of these cooking shows on public television, and it was an event--she'd sit with a cup of tea and some buttered toast and watch them in rapture. "That's the sound of home," she'd sigh. She would have adored the chance to watch these treasures. I have subscribed and will watch every single one. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤
I love this thank you! Reminds me of being a small child. I love the present ideas peppermint creams in little boxes. I can see Victoria Wood and Julie Walters in these hostesses.
I really liked this programme - broadcast when I was a new, young mother. Trip down memory lane. The innocence of it all is delightful to watch once more.
I was crippled by an electric pylon in 1977 and recall watching this from my aunties sofa after my mum had eloped with one of the teachers from my junior school. I loved watching this, it brought me much comfort and I wished the two ladies were me mums. Stay healthy everyone
What a charming way to spend half an hour. I was only a small child but I do remember this series and watching it with me mother and grandmother. Please do upload more episodes if you have them.
Oohhhhh Dorothy Sleightholme, loved this programme ❤️ I was a teenager in the late ‘70’s and thanks to Dorothy I have loved cooking all my life. My son says that now I’m retired I should get a hobby, but my hobby has always been cooking for the family! I have my Granny’s copy of Dorothy’s cooking book.
I began watching these weekly programmes in 1971 at 2.30pm whilst the baby slept and the others played. Dorothy often had a guest cook with her and my favourite was Mary Berry. Always so friendly and young, she was inspiring to a young mum on limited income. I enjoyed her savoury tart recipe and, now in my 80's I still make it. Made with eggs, bacon, onion and cheese, we would call the same recipe a quiche! My original 'Complete Farmhous Cookbook' is now well used and a bit tatty but still used all the time, mostly when family visit. Such happy memories.
Used to love watching this! I still have 'The Complete Farmhouse Kitchen Cookbook' which has been my trusted go-to for very many years and will, hopefully, be passed to my granddaughter.
I absolutely loved this programme. My beloved (now departed) best friend and I used to watch it and try to re-create Dorothy Sleightholme's recipes... beautiful xxx
Great to see a Dorothy Sleightholme episode. Farmhouse Kitchen episodes are rare and are usually Grace Mulligan. Dorothy was my favourite Farmhouse Kitchen presenter as a child. She had such a kindly manner, reminiscent of a treasured grandmother.
This is proper television cooking. I used to love watching this show as a kid on the days when i wasn't at school. Such a comforting atmosphere. Thanks for sharing it.
My Nana gave me a Farmhouse Kitchen book when I got married and when Mum died I inherited all hers as well. We used to watch the programmes together. It was a great programme.
That blue and white tin in the truffles section- my Nana had a biscuit tin with that pattern. I’d forgotten, but seeing that pattern.. lovely memories.
This is an absolute delight, thank you for sharing. I loved watching Grace Mulligan on Farmhouse Kitchen in the 80s, but I never saw any of the Dorothy Sleightholme episodes. This is a treat!
Wow, I remember watching this episode with my Mum when it was broadcast in 1978, would have been 7 back then I still have the books and still use them.
I remember watching this cooking programme as a young 20 something....loved it and brought the books....l especially loved the mincemeat cake where the only fruit you used was a jar of mincemeat it was so soft and light one of my favourites...thankyou for downloading this...👍💕
Wonderful, happy memories. Used to watch this programme with my nan. She had the books and tried all the recipes. Still make the peppermint creams every christmas !!
Oh the good old days. That lady with brown hair talks abit like my Nan , even tho my Nan was from south , bringing back lovely memories Thanks for posting I still cook my pudding in cheese cloth and bowl like that! I must admit my cake never turns out that beautiful
What a wonderfully calming programme! Everything these days is loud, brash, with the camera flitting here, there and everywhere. I am going to ditch the Christmas cake recipe I was going to use and make this one instead! Thank you for this anchor in a mad world! 😊
Watched these programs with my nana when i was sick from school, people looked older for their age back then, those ladies were only 34 and 29, bless em
So interesting, how times have changed. I can remember the pud steaming away on Christmas Day, now its 2 mins. in the microwave. Not many people eat Christmas cake these days, but if you like it, there are plenty in the shops. Christmas Dinner no longer means Mum being up half the night with the Turkey and up at 7am to start the dinner prep. By the time it hits the table poor Mum is exhausted. Those days are gone.
I had utterly forgotten about this but seeing it wow! Memories I have the first book have had it for years didn't even realise it was off this me and mam memories ❤
@@xinran1969probably same studio in YTV ,Kirkstall Road in Leeds. Some regions had Farmhouse Kitchen on Monday dinner time 12.30 & Emmerdale Farm at 12.30 on Tuesdays. Except in summer when Gardening Today , from ATV , swapped with Emmerdale Farm which at that time wasn't a continuous show like it is nowadays.

My nan’s house, a tiny bit of a cold, Lucozade with cellophane, Junior Dispirin & tele like this. Utter bliss.
Ooh yes! And kids’ shows like Bod, Mr Benn and Rainbow.
Lying on the settee under a blanket sick but loving life watching Crown Court and General Hospital.
@@DemeterTelphousia-Erinyes Oh I loved Mr Ben!

@@AmethystDewCrown Court was always on about 1pm, wasn’t it? I remember it being around lunchtime x
Ohhhh, I've got those books! I remember watching these programmes with my mother. Oh when life was simple and happy.😢
Yes life was simpler and happy here then. No Muslim terrorists threatening our lives. We will never get those days back. Especially now we have Starmer in power.
Yes! Happier days, for most.
I said exactly the same thing about mothers mine gone now but what a fabulous memories it brought back 😊
Yes I did too.Different times but happy times.We made do with less
Me too
Victoria Wood and Julie Walters would have had a field day recreating this show 😂
They had a field day with the Marjorie and Joan sketches. Compare with Mary Berry and Judith Chalmers cookery programme in the mid seventies (on RUclips)

One of my daughter in laws does not cook and just about puts together a chicken wrap. Two daughters , what chance have they got of learning to cook.
I have trying to think when it was on t.v
Me too aged 16 newly wed in '73 .couldn't cook watched this and bought the books ! Loved these women ,perfect teachers ❤
Still use my books that got when my sons were babies…..still use the recipes now for them and their children and husband of course
My mammy a herdsmans wife would watch it Monday dinner time.
Dorothy Sleightholme was a real farmers wife and said it straight.
We got it on Westward till 1979.
The theme music alone evokes many memories from the 70s as a youngster.

@@sabinabirnie3761 Glad you enjoyed it! Just a one-off episode someone found on an old tape! But do subscribe to my channel for any future clips!
I was new mother at the time I used to watch this.I never missed it I loved it. What a surprise to see it here.
Yes!! 😢🫂
yes please. it feels like home.
I agree , I love to immerse myself in my nostalgic childhood when life was so much better but we had not a lot of anything . Life was so much better back then ❤
Excellent. I like how reserved and mild mannered the older generation was. A real gem.
You never met my aunts 😅
No tattoos, no hugging bare pregnancy belly’s, no Botox and fillers. These ladies were lovely English gems.
Aren't the good manners and civility very refreshing? No screeching, showing off, boasting, or faux friendliness - just respect, pleasantness, and sincerity.
Discovering this was the best thing that happened to me today!
Everything was so much less hysterical and forced than it is today. It was calming, informative and safe! Oh to go back!!
I have such fond memories of this series, I still have the Farmhouse Cookbook which I received for my 16th birthday, i still use Mrs Robins Fruitcake and I loved Grace Mulligan…. Happy days from down to Earth no nonsense Women!

Best cooking program on t.v.past and present,nothing fancy just good cooking
Used to watch it on the tele, was a teenager at the time, my it takes me back.😊
Such happy memories of this program when l was younger than iam now. ❤️
19/11/24 Tuesday evening. 🇬🇧
Used to watch this with my mum. I remember we made peppermint creams, I think we always added too much flavouring to things, but who cared we were having fun. These ladies came across as kind and calm, Fanny Craddock was very gruff 😊❤
Yes, they seem quite relaxed about the cooking.
Brings back memories. Oh my 🩷

My mum bought all the Farmhouse, Kitchen books it brings back a lot of good memories of baking with my mum
I love them !!! Good old fashioned recipes with an eye to thriftiness …..more please of these wonderful ladies…thankyou for uploading
Omg that brings back memories no mixers strong women only need apply 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Wrists like Arnold doing all that creamed sugar and butter
You won’t see a modern cook/ presenter hand mixing. So refreshing

I was a young mum when this came out, and I believe I had a farm house cook book, happy days!
Me too, my children were 5 and 7 then. I had two more later..
I love this thank you! Reminds me of being a small child. I love the present ideas peppermint creams in little boxes. I can see Victoria Wood and Julie Walters in these hostesses.
yes, I thought so too😅
@@angelabrooke5059 ''excuse me would you mind moving? Your breath smells'
Cooking wearing pearls and a pinny! Priceless! Comforting escapism from my youth. More please.
I really liked this programme - broadcast when I was a new, young mother. Trip down memory lane. The innocence of it all is delightful to watch once more.
Wish i was back there now. .😢happy times
I was crippled by an electric pylon in 1977 and recall watching this from my aunties sofa after my mum had eloped with one of the teachers from my junior school. I loved watching this, it brought me much comfort and I wished the two ladies were me mums. Stay healthy everyone
You poor soul, what a sad younger life. I hope you found security and love in later life.
At least your new step dad could help you catch up with your school work.
How are you doing these days, what happened to your mum and your health?
@@iain4295😮🤭😂
Ah, hang on! You teased at least two epic stories there! Make with the details!
What a charming way to spend half an hour. I was only a small child but I do remember this series and watching it with me mother and grandmother. Please do upload more episodes if you have them.
I remember the music, and the darker haired lady. My mum had this on when I was a kid though my grandma was the best cook 😊
Oohhhhh Dorothy Sleightholme, loved this programme ❤️
I was a teenager in the late ‘70’s and thanks to Dorothy I have loved cooking all my life.
My son says that now I’m retired I should get a hobby, but my hobby has always been cooking for the family!
I have my Granny’s copy of Dorothy’s cooking book.
My mum has this cookbook….. and it’s something I’ve always enjoyed looking through and using ❤
I remember this used to be on the TV in the afternoon and I would watch it when off school.
There's a blast from the past, an electric frying pan. My late mam used to watch Farmhouse Kitchen and had that very cookery book
I began watching these weekly programmes in 1971 at 2.30pm whilst the baby slept and the others played. Dorothy often had a guest cook with her and my favourite was Mary Berry.

I was only 3 when this came out, but I do remember my Mum having the books. This has been a fascinating watch
I’m a man of 50,and I’m transfixed with this. Very healing Telly. I miss this sort of stuff.
I remember watching this! Only got to see it when not working, I think it was on in the afternoon. 😂
Used to love watching this! I still have 'The Complete Farmhouse Kitchen Cookbook' which has been my trusted go-to for very many years and will, hopefully, be passed to my granddaughter.
When I got married I 1977 aged 19 this was on TV...I'm now 67..!!
Great times I'm also 67
Watching this brought back some pleasant memories of childhood
Wow that was relaxing, I used to love watching Dorothy, so calming
Loved this so glad I came across it, I wish there were more of them though
I remember this programme... it's lovely to see it again. Thank you.❤
I absolutely loved this programme. My beloved (now departed) best friend and I used to watch it and try to re-create Dorothy Sleightholme's recipes... beautiful xxx

Mine too 😊
We had the tea, coffee and sugar tins too. Happy days.

Wonderful stuff and a pretty groovy theme tune.
Thank you for sharing this❤.
Wish someone could show Ruth Motts’ Christmas I loved her Christmas at her own home 🤞
That theme tune takes me back 😂 off school sick.
This is such a trip down memory lane. Brilliant. Thanks for posting this; much appreciated. If there’s any more, I know they’ll be popular.
Lovely memories of watching this again. Life seemed much better then.
Oh my l loved this programme and Dorothy I am so glad to watch again
I watched all these programs and constantly use my farmhouse cookbook. Thank you for posting this recording ……Rita from Dorset ❤
i haven't thought of this programme in over 40 years but straight away i heard the music it all came flooding back .
Yes me too. The music just took me back to 70s
That's proper cooking! I'm sure my late mother had those books so I shall have to try and find them. Thank you for sharing this.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, although I've never been a daytime TV fan. It's a refreshing blast from the past.
I still have the first cookbook I love it and used to enjoy this series .
This should be on Talking Pictures they capture the past with all their old shows.
And Fanny Craddock 😊😊😊

Memories of childhood, that theme tune along with House Party.
Oooh those fruit cakes....
I adored House Party - another programme that you only saw if you were at home in the afternoons.
This show used to be shown on Irish TV - right after Emmerdale Farm in the afternoon. I remember the ladies' lovely Yorkshire accents ❤
Great memories! Thank you for sharing ☺️
O yes I remember this loved watching, my Sons were 7 and one, amazing how time flies. 😊
Wow, had those books for years. Fantastic to see this programme after all this time x

Fab comment & spot on Christine! Pop some of your cake round when done pls!
I completely agree about the camera work, now it’s like they’ve given a blindfolded 2 year old the camera, it makes me feel sick.
It made a huge cake
totally
Watched these programs with my nana when i was sick from school, people looked older for their age back then, those ladies were only 34 and 29, bless em
