OFF THE SHELF
EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT COOKING
MURDOCH BOOKS, $16.99
With the subtitle this little tome is a compendium of tested and trusted recipes from the collective wisdom of the largest women’s organisation in Australia. While hardy standbys including scones, pavlovas and slices are well covered, there are also offerings such as Spanish tortilla, pastizzi and Greek-style roast chicken that nod to our multicultural influences. Plus there’s a fabulous page of catering hints, including how many sandwiches you can make from a standard loaf of sliced bread, how much butter you need and how many lettuces and tomatoes will serve
