THE COKBOK |
A gathering of recipes handed down through the generations of the McGloin and Kirk families, renowned for their culinary traditions, and culminating in this epicurean bible initially presented to daughter Cara when she departed home and hearth for the big smoke in 1994. I've put about one third on the website, mainly the later material which has more biographical interest. I did some work on a "Food and Music" section which has now metamorphasised as "Music and Food Part 1" and can be found under the Music section. Anyone interested in purchasing the lot, once it's finished (if it ever is), can send me an e-mail. tHE MCGLOIN

Princess Anne's steed, the Right Royal Alphonzo del Quero Conquistador De
Souza III, which Horse Whisperers
translate as " it is seldom a cokbok appears such as this which will
undoubtedly appeal to equine epicures the world over".
In actual fact though, the horse was relating his favourite rhyme
The Right Royal steed
Whose name is De Souza
Is often observed
When down at the boozer
Booking the slate
With drinks of his mates sir
The goose and the goat
The dog and the drake sir
Well
reader, you are blessed indeed ah, for in this exclusive issue of the
McGloin-Kirk Cok Bok you have what many punters would describe as the Eighth
wonder of the world. I mean, just check the plaudits above, those chaps are
quite impressed. The
McGloin and Kirk families have, over the centuries been renowned for their
gastronomic ingenuity and expertise and have plagiarized, developed, mutated and
perfected the very recipes which you now hold in this unique record.
The bok contains everything from eggs and bacon to Bazza's Magnificent
Steak and Kidney Pie to Uncle Norman's Sabzi Bhaji. There is a wealth of coking
information here in easy to understand steps. So tread lightly and eat, drink
and cok with confidence !!! |
