    She's a living, real person?! I legit thought she's just a fictive, only-for-cooking-purpose character. That's just so shocking! It just makes me 999+ times love these series. Also kudos to the actress! She definitely portrayed the images very well. These series are my favorite! Regards from Indonesia.

    First of all: THANK YOU for putting out videos with Mrs Crocombes recipes in the past 2 years. I tried a few of them and I really liked all of them.
    I'd love to get my hands on a copy of her recipe book to taste the past and I really hope that you can realize it next year. If there is a crowdfunding or something similar please let me/us now. I'd love to help a little bit with the realisation.
    And of course I'd love to hear more about Mrs Crocombe in 2018.
    I wish you all a happy new year!

    I will be so happy when Mrs Crocombe's book becomes available. Please, not solely in an on-line version. We need a gorgeous, full-colour with lots of lovely pictures and including such period pictures as are available. Also, I would be happy to see the book expanded with the sort of dishes we know Mrs C made when luminaries visited for house parties, assuming that not all of her work is represented in the book. Thank you for another fabulous video!
