Over 500 recipes and handy hints for classic Australian fare.

Dear Friends,

Australian cooking has always been known for its wholesome values and its versatility. The recipes contained here are some of my favourites, from cakes to snacks to hearty meals, and you'll find all the steps easy to follow and all the ingredients readily available.

With the emphasis on family life today, the best traditions of the Australian kitchen are even more important. What could be more satisfying than serving a round of hot pumpkin scones to a table of family and friends. I hope this book will help you see why tradition is a thing worth savouring.

Good cooking,

Florence Bjelke Petersen
