My Mother also made a mean curry, made from 'scratch' using Sharwoods curry powder. It was served in a ring of rice and a had desiccated coconut sprinkled on top.

I still have the magazine clipping for making pizza - very late seventies. Practically impossible to get tomato puree where I lived at the time (Leicester).
I recall burgers becoming fashionable around the same time.
