Ganga (Alt account...)<p>/Bread and Butter: Cakes and Bakes from Granny's Stove / Ciara McLaughlin</p><p>A quick look at this cookbook too. I didn't connect well with this book, which is unusual. At first I was puzzled as to the country (I presumed the US) and how how old Granny was - perhaps a lot younger than me.</p><p>It is an Irish book, but very little in the book "speaks" to me of Ireland. A lot of the desserts and pastries are common here too - coconut ice, jam drop biscuits, apple pie, roly poly cake, banana bread, crumbles, scones, lemon meringue pie, madeira cake .....</p><p>It may be my lack of knowledge about Irish food, but the Irishness comes through more in the breads and some of the heavier cakes/sweet loaf cakes.</p><p>It you are interested, it is available for around $45AU, but check around. I think there are better and cheaper books than this one. The cover is nice, though.</p><p>Better books on British food include Dark Rye and Honey Cake, and Oats in the North, Wheat from the South, by Regula Ysewijn. I have reviewed them previously. And best of all they are around $50AU for the pair, if you buy them together (See attached pic)</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/cookbookReviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookbookReviews</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cookbookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookbookReview</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LTCCookbookReviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LTCCookbookReviews</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cookbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookbooks</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BritishFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishFood</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BreadAndButter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BreadAndButter</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CiaraMcLaughlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CiaraMcLaughlin</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/IrishFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishFood</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DarkRyeAndHoneyCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DarkRyeAndHoneyCake</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OatsInTheNorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OatsInTheNorth</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RegulaYsewijn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RegulaYsewijn</span></a></p>

Wonderdog<p>Today’s cookbook reading is Simple Flavours: Australian Home Cooking by Geoff Slattery. <br>(1991, Text Publishing, Australia.)</p><p>Many of the pages of my copy are splashed with stains. (I have never been a tidy cook, and have always lived in houses with ridiculously small kitchens!)</p><p>Anyone who knows me well can immediately turn to my cookbooks and find my favourite recipes by looking for the splodged pages. </p><p>In this book? There are splashes in almost every chapter. (The exception being Fish and Shellfish, as I grew up inland and have never been keen on either, except on my very rare coastal holidays. I’m attempting to remedy that now.) </p><p>For those so inclined, he suggests wine pairings for each dish. </p><p>Where this book really shines for me is his voice. He’s chatty, his personality come through (making puff pastry while watching Aussie Rules football, for example), he breaks down recipes which might seem daunting into achievable steps (I learned to make souffles from his confident teaching style) and he doesn’t shy away from using the microwave when it makes things easier.</p><p>There is a website, which has not been updated in many years, but this link will take you to the best Boiled Fruit Cake I have ever made - and it’s what I usually make for our Christmas Cake.<br><a href="http://www.simpleflavours.com.au/2010/06/michele-days-fruit-cake/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">simpleflavours.com.au/2010/06/</span><span class="invisible">michele-days-fruit-cake/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recipes</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cooking</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CookBookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CookBookReview</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChristmasCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristmasCake</span></a></p>
