This version was published in Penguin Cordon Bleu Cookery book (mine is the 1977 edition). It is not, as far as I know, still in print but lots of pre-loved editions are available to buy on the internet. "My" copy is my mum's.
I have posted this recipe as true to the book, although I have put the metric conversions next to the ingredients where possible.
My edition does not specify servings or preparation time, but from experience:
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 40-50 mins
Serves: 6-8
