Parish Recipes

After the fire at St Margaret’s in 1985 there were considerable fund raising efforts. one of these was a recipe book called Recipes for all Tastes and this was followed later by a further edition called What’s Cooking.

If any of the members of St. Margaret’s and St. George’s still have either or both of these books and would like to share the recipes which they contributed or any other they liked, then please send to magazine@stmargaretsprestwich.com for inclusion in future editions of the Magazine.

You will need to type out the Recipe in Calibri 14 for her.

To start the ball rolling here is a Recipe submitted by the late Martin Ashworth who is fondly remembered by all who knew him and is now laid to rest close to where we enter our Church.

VICARAGE PORK CASSEROLE (4 servings)

1lb. port steak                               1 apple (baking or eating)

1 large onion                                   Juice of an orange
