The Sociable Cook’s Book by “Bon Viveur” (Fanny & Johnnie Cradock) published by The Daily Telegraph in 1967 is a sought-after vintage cookbook, known for compiling recipes from their popular newspaper column

This is not only a collection of recipes for favourite dishes that Fanny and Johnnie Cradock serve to their family and friends, it is also a gold-mine of kitchen knowledge and is meant to be read as much for pleasure as for profit. It was written at the request of readers who enjoyed Bon Viveur’s weekly cookery column in The Daily Telegraph. The authors pass on the kind of kitchen know-how that makes all the difference between success and failure.
