Back to Basics in the Kitchen

How many times have you rifled some or all of you cookbooks, trying to find a use for one ingredient in your fridge and realised that unless the main ingredient is the first word of the recipe title, it doesn't get a mention?

When I created the Marysville Cookbook, I realised that this was one of my bug bears (and no doubt many other peoples!) and created the cookbook accordingly.

All the major ingredients are listed in the index, along with a metric to imperial conversion table, for all types of measuring, for liquid to weight to oven temperatures.

There are even some handy hints for in and around the kitchen, from kids play dough to fixing salty soup and oven door cleaner, even what to do with any wine left-overs! (Yes, that was joke!)

There are no brand names mentioned, all ingredients are back-to-basic type cooking, without the camp fire, in other words, no more slaving over a hot stove and more time with your family. From Slow Cooker recipes to roasts and stews, along with many great desserts and jam recipes, just like nanna used to make.

Sick of buying one ingredient, only to find no other recipe you own, uses that ingredient? All recipes are easy and all ingredients are basic, fresh and family friendly.

Most recipes can be frozen once cooked, which means, no longer having to wait for take-away, when in 20 minutes you can have a meal on the table that is home-made and hot. Saves money too!

Have a look at the Marysville Cookbook, $10 from each and every sale goes back to a community devastated by bushfire. As at the 26th June 2012, the amount of $6,900 has been given back to Marysville and surrounding Communities, only made possible through generosity from people like yourself.

For the cost of $35.00, including postage, you too can own a copy of the Marysville Cookbook.
