Description

4 very old New Zealand cookbooks. One was put out in 1935 by the The Victoria League in Auckland. It has 305 pages of recipes plus home hints. The recipes were all given by the ladies of The Victoria League and they have their name and suburb next to each recipe. " When using dates for cooking, always use essence of lemon with them, it brings out twice the flavour" " When using oranges in a salad, soak them in boiling water for 5 minutes before peeling. The pith will then come away cleanly and the fruit will look more attractive" " Cold cauliflower served with a good mayonnaise dressing makes a delicious change for a salad" " The antidote for too much salt is brown sugar " " A good sound apple placed in an airtight cake tin will keep a fruit or see cake moist" There are home made drink / wine recipes, chutneys, jams, plus everything else you can think of. The home hints are actually very good, certainly saves money and allows you to extend the life of certain items by some simple tricks. I have listed a vintage inspired New Zealand Anchor Butter Apron this week as well. Payment via Ping only please, thankyou for understanding. ** Postage - I can normally fit several items into one postage bag or box, so only one lot of postage will be charged. ** No pick ups as I live in a rural location, once again thankyou for understanding.
