Yesterday, hubby and I headed up to Launceston for the day to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary. It was lovely to stroll around the shops without having a long list of things to buy like we usually do when we head to the city. One of my best finds for the day was this cooking book 'Womens Weekly Baking Day' as it says on the front cover...A delicious mixture of nostalgic and modern recipes for cakes, biscuits and buns, along with retro kitchen craft. Of course this HAD to come home with me!
Inside the front cover...every page is illustrated beautifully!
One of the craft projects inside the recipe book is how to make a jug cover from a purchased crochet doiley

Besides having craft projects, it also has the yummiest recipes! Can you tell I really love my new book! Lol!
Today I made from the book some White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
Our local supermarket didn't have any Macadamia, so I just used Almonds. But they were still Delicious!
And todays lunch Pumpkin Soup (not from the book but just a recipe I have been making for years with Potato ,Pumpkin, Carrot, Onion and pkt Cream chicken soup, salt and pepper) and Fresh Bread from the Bread Machine.
I also purchased another cookbook, but will save that one for another post.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Lisa
PS If anyone would like the recipe for White Chocolate Macadamia cookies, just let me know and I will include the recipe on another post.
