Recipes from the 1980s

An article in the Watford Observer looks back on Oxhey Village Environment Group’s ‘Recipe and Household Hints’ book, which was published in 1983.

The book collated 66 recipes and useful household tips, most of which were gathered from OVEG members and their friends. It was created to raise funds at a time when the group was still less than 10 years old.

The Observer’s article is written Lesley Dunlop, a regular writer on Watford’s local history, and herself a former member of the OVEG committee.
