A little Farmhouse Kitchen history

Produced by Yorkshire Television, Farmhouse Kitchen first appeared on ITV in 1971 and ran until 1990. Dorothy Sleightholme became known for her straightforward approach to hearty home cooking, with Grace Mulligan later taking over as presenter. Its focus on everyday dishes made the programme a familiar part of afternoon television, and companion recipe books such as this one brought that farmhouse cooking into viewers’ own kitchens.
