With winter well and truly on it's way, I bet people are craving warm tasty meals. I know I am! Well here are a few fantastic cooking books you may enjoy.
Small Kitchen by Sally Wise
RRP $24.99
While most cookbooks tend to offer recipes for families of four
people or more, statistics show that more and more Australians live
alone, or in small households of two people. With this in mind Sally
Wise, author of bestselling books like SLOW COOKER and A YEAR IN A
BOTTLE, has written a book which caters for the smaller household.
Carrying Sally's signature of nourishing, tasty food, this is a book
which tells you how to buy, cook and store food in a small kitchen
environment--without waste and with maximum effect
Like Grandma used to make by Rebecca Sullivan
RRP $34.99
When Rebecca Sullivan's beloved Great Grandmother Lilly passed
away Rebecca realised the wealth of knowledge that had gone with her,
including Lilly's prize-winning recipe for Victoria sponge. Rebecca
decided to make it her mission to collect and gather as many skills and
recipes as she could, from all the nonnas, yiayias and grannies willing
to share their treasured secrets with her. Rebecca is the face of the
new 'granny skill' movement - a growing community of women who share and
preserve these traditions by collecting and passing them on. In this
book, Rebecca recreates the tastes, smells, clever crafts and tips of
Grandma's kitchen and home, sharing more than 100 recipes and practical
home crafts, all beautifully photographed. Burnt your saucepan? No
worries - a quick fix of boiling water, vinegar and baking soda will
have it gleaming as fast as you can whip up a batch of Granny's finest
scones. Wondering if your jam is ready? Try Nonna Rosa's saucer test.
Crammed with useful tips and tricks and wonderful, wholesome recipes,
Like Grandma Used to Make is a wonderful gift and the absolute go-to
manual for anyone looking to reconnect with the simplicity and goodness
of days gone by.

Australian Woman's Weekly Farm House Cooking
RRP $39.95
Country homes - like no other - have a certain evocative feel
about them, a feeling of warmth, homeliness, peace and calm, a far cry
from the lives we lead in our homes in busy cities. This wonderful book
takes the reader for a stroll through the home, starting at the heart of
every house - the kitchen - with recipes for bread, breakfast and
preserves. The verandah is the place morning tea, afternoon tea and
supper is served. The dining room is kept for more formal meals and
larger gatherings of guests. Think special occasions, such as
christenings, birthdays and Christmas. Last, but certainly not least, is
the garden, where barbecues rule. Or perhaps a feast served on a long
table, set under the trees - there is something special about this.
