Cooking

Country food is generous, fresh, usually local and always in-season. This wonderful collection of easy and simple dishes brings the country to town. There are recipes for the big breakfast - porridge, scrambled eggs, French toast, then there's morning tea - slices, biscuits and rock cakes. Lunch might be a salad, a quiche, a hearty soup or a toasted sandwich, afternoon tea features scones, cakes and buns. Then there's dinner - wonderful roasts, stews, steaks and some comfortingly rich puddings. Preserves are featured too - jams, pickles and chutneys. The lamington drive contains all those cakes, biscuits and slices to make for the local school fete, and campfire classics are great for those camping trips with the family.
