Thanks everyone. No, still not got it, can't get the right place where I can order back copies either. Not even got that particular issue on ebay. If it's not too much trouble mcfluff, it would be great if your mum still had the recipe.
Thanks again

[email protected] with your address i'll pop a copy of it in the post to you. I'm rubbish at typing and it would take me ages! Don't worry, i'm not a weirdo, just a 46 year old married man who loves cooking!!!
