What you haven't been told about the Marysville Cookbook

The Cookbook for Marysville came about after the February 2009 fires, now known as the Black Saturday Fires.

The Marysville Cookbook was originally created for the residents of Marysville and 300 copies were given to the residents at no cost. At that point in time, the residents didn't need money, they didn't need sympathy - they needed something that was theirs and theirs alone. Something that would help them, keep family, mind and soul together. There was a message of hope, a message of thank-you and recipes just like, nanna and mum used to cook - comfort food, no complications, no spending 2 hours slaving over a hot stove, that you didn't have. They are all simple recipes, with simple ingredients.

What I haven’t told you or anyone else for that matter, is that all except for $962 came from my own pocket. $750.00 from 3 x businesses that I knew and who offered to help and an online forum called Oz Round Table who together raised $212.00 off their own back.

Suffice to say that the 3rd print is about to hit the road running and I’m still very much remaining in the red.

It’s my choice to continue to produce the cookbook, over 333 books have been given to affected residents and I want to continue doing so because I know that the one smile, the one letter of thanks is payment enough.

I just hope my pockets hold out!

So buy the Cookbook for Marysville and help Marysville and surrounding areas affected by the Black Saturday Fires, feel the joy in giving.

If you are wanting to purchase more than one book - you will need to contact me at Marysville Cookbook Email and I will have to send an invoice, due to paypal being a difficult beast I thought it easier to keep the automatic payment to a single book.
