- And to add to the satisfaction, we have recently […] been able to verify a quotation from that elusive 1954 St Anne's Cookbook which confirms the existence of Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Anaya, gives the Victory Club as the place in which he invented his ‘nacho specials’, and provides his own original recipe.
