The explorers country kitchen
Brown, Ruby M.1986
Book
This book is the result of a sincere attempt to marry the best of Australian cooking tradition with the knowledge and technology of 1986 - and to enjoy the results. For example, at a glance one can identify a recipe which can be frozen successfully and/or cooked in a microwave oven. It is a book for the kitchen, the coffee table, and the beside; for the practical and for the armchair cook. It is also a gentle tribute to some of the people who established and developed the Yass district, following its discovery by the Explorer, Hamilton Hume, and his three companions in 1821.
