A mum lost six stone after tweaking her nan's wartime recipes.
Dee Wright, from Southport, said her nan's house was her "sanctuary" when she was growing up. The 49-year-old said she used take refuge at her house when she was bullied at school and started gaining weight.
She said: “Bursting through the back door into nan’s tiny kitchen, the first thing that hit me was the delicious smell of our tea in the oven. She knew what I liked to eat, and I could tell the moment I walked in that it was my favourite: sausage quiche.
