Be-Ro

Right this is your guide to Be-Ro, there a flour company that is English that only sells in the states for some crazy reason that I cant explain though there site is English and there books can be purchased but only if you are a uk resident another of those oddities if you ask me. Here’s a quick history, Be-Ro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now if you really really have to have these books use your noggin and try Ebay and Amazon you never know what you will find.

Most of these recipes aren’t available online unless you find some lucky soul with the book that is willing to share the recipe with you its unlikely you’re going to find it.

Let’s start with a link for the actual site to get your imagination going….

Be-Ro

Now look at the site and read there are recipes there but they won't be from the older collection so bare in mind when asking for a particular recipe you may or may not be lucky enough to find your answer. I for one had never heard of this make or book before I started here at AMHD and even Google doesn’t dish up recipes from them so it’s a case of you want it then you buy the books you can find and hope for the best.

Remember this book has been in circulation since 1880’s and anyone can determine a recipe if you have a name of what you want to cook then it really doesn’t have to be a Be-Ro recipe it can be anything that you can adapt to your taste and needs.
After that’s what cooking is about having an idea and working with it and making it into what you really want to eat and prepare.
If after reading this you are still utterly adamant you want the exact recipe then good luck you only have to look through previous posts here to see its going to be kind of difficult.

I have an old Be-Ro recipe book, if anyone wants a recipe and it's there I'm willing to help.

Here is a site that is called Everyday English Recipes that has five recipes using Be-Ro flour:

I did find a digital collection of one of the old cookbooks:

Yeah, I guess you're right there. To be honest I'm not that computer literate, I could scan it but don't have a clue how to put it on here!
