My mum has had this book about twenty years but I don't think she had cooked anything from it, in fact, when Bill passed last month I mentioned she had it and she frankly had no recollection of it.

Anyway, it's a recipe book very of it's time. Mostly simple easy recipes, but only one or two I would be interested in trying out. Beautifully presented and laid out. Just feels a little dated?

Love Bill. He's been in my kitchen and we've had many wonderful meals with his help. Thanks heaps Bill!

Bills best as far as I'm concerned. Try the Caramel Chicken. A winner on so many levels.
