Anyone who has yet to discover the wonder that is Marjorie Bligh should waste no time - for, as she says, """"time is the greatest gift you have.
What a fun book to read. I picked this one up at the library as I love reading about people, Tasmanian people, anything to do with cooking and the home. And this had all of that.
There are so many great quotes, some funny poetry, crazy hints and tips from times gone by (that I must say could still be used today!) and even some crazy hints and tips.
This is a fun book, entertaining and just a bit of light reading.
Some good tips to be found in this book though I wish it was put together better as many pages are snippets of articles Marjorie had written so many times the start or end of an article was cut off. Some tips probably not the safest lol but overall pretty good.
