Long-serving recipes

Anne has inked the date March 1983 into the front cover of her Delia Smith Complete Cookery Course, which is now sadly lacking a back cover, and which, without a shadow of a doubt, taught her how to cook.

The recipe in the book we've used most down the years is the one for Hungarian goulash, though, judging from her scrawl in the margins of the recipe, we very early on substituted the suggested steak for belly pork, and added mushrooms. Such flair more suited to the bish bash bosh of Jamie than the pedantry of Saint Delia, surely, but then Anne's always gone where the paprika's taken her.

Anyway it's been a very nice simple supper down the years.

What's your longest- serving recipe?
