    Took this one out of the local library this week.. and made the Fiery Chilli Relish (p.731) as I have so many cayenne chillies to use up! Maybe I didn't chop my ingredients finely enough .. but its taking way longer than 25 minutes to reduce down to a bottling consistency. And boy is it fiery.. any publishers or editors on board? ... I do sooooo hate cup measures.. thanks heavens for google and "how much does a cup of XXX weigh in grams".. most of the answers were pretty spot on!

    This edition is actually a hardcover bound book, not a paperback as mentioned in the description. A wonderful mix of recipes from a fantastic, much loved and respected organisation here in Australia that has been around since the 1920's. In fact there are more than a few recipes in here that have been passed down from mother to daughter since that time, so they have been well tested. Another plus to remember is that the majority of these recipes were concocted or adapted for farm kitchens, which weren't well known for having all the latest equipment and mod cons. So you can be sure that as long as your kitchen has a cooker and a fridge you'll do fine with this book.

Publishers Text

Every grandmother, mother, aunt, daughter and son should have a copy of this in the kitchen. If the community in general knows nothing else of the Country Women's Association of Western Australia, it is more than familiar with its cookbook - every grandmother, mother, aunt, daughter and son should have a copy in the kitchen. First published in 1936, the C.W.A. Cookery Book and Household Hints is rich in tradition. It is a tried and true recipe book from which anyone can learn basic cooking. From ANZAC biscuits to lamb chops to pavlova, enduring Australian favourites can be found within its pages, alongside home-making, gardening and outdoor hints. It is a testament to the book's relevance and the foresight of its original creators that it has been published in well over 50 editions.
