Cheese Straws by Ian Woods
Recipe by Ian Woods
“This recipe was passed to me by Grace Watson a fellow resident at my mother-in-law’s care home. She in turn had collected it from a friend Anne Wood in 1961.
This – and other recipes – collected by Grace are in a hand written book she gave me for Christmas 2023.
It is a simple, tasty recipe that has been enjoyed for over 60 years and will be enjoyed for many more.”
