No idea on the difference in the recipes now, but I grew up cooking with this book and we always just used to completely interchange marg and butter (if it was for a special occasion/bake sale we'd always use butter).

I just got hold of my Nana's old copy, from which we spent many happy Sundays baking medeira cakes and buns.Recently I decided to try to find out when one of my mum's favourite recipes, the one for rich coconut tartlets, first appeared in a Be-Ro book - the only recipe book she ever used.

Our Story Thomas Bell founded a wholesale grocery firm near the Tyne quays and railway station in Newcastle in the 1880s. I remember having my own Be-Ro recipe book from before I was married, but don't know if it's the same one that I've still got.I am very happy for the recipes to be used or passed on but would be grateful if anyone who wants to copy and publish my words or photos would let me know first using the comment section.
