    The flour is curious, isn't it. Would normal flour thicken something like cornflour does - or is there some other chemical magic going on here? It sounds delicious.

    OMG Is this the only place to find this book? :)
    I think my copy was beaten up and my mum threw it out when I went to Uni.
    Is there any chance I could also grab a scanned copy?
    If not thanks anyway, IF it is possible, tat would be awesome.

    Hello. I’m so happy I’ve found you. Thank you for you time and dedication to your craft. It’s women like you that keeps our village together 🥰. I had this cookbook in school also. It was a hand me down and in pounds and ounces that I had to convert to decimal to work out my recipes I wanted to use. Although most of the recipes were in cups etc. I used that book for years and grew my children on these recipes throughout there childhood. Sadly I gave misplaced it and cannot find it. Although I never seem to stop looking for it. I think it must have got left between the newspaper one morning and maybe thrown in the bin 😩. I would really appreciate a copy of your book if that is at all possible. If not that is ok too. Thank you Jim advance. My email is julie.lovell3@outlook.com.

    I can not believe how many of you were looking for this book . I have started the ball rolling by asking for it originally. I moved to Townsville from Europe as a 13 year old and this was required for our Home Economics class. I learned to cook from this book and to love my new home country’s food. So thankful to Pineapple princesses for original posting and their generosity in sharing. ❤️

    Hi Sue. Is there any chance you could photograph the pages with buns and scones recipes? My children love the recipe I used to make but I lost my book and no longer have the recipe, so can no longer make them. I am sending you my email in the hope this reaches you. I am currently living in Scotland but grew up in Australia. My email is ananngallery@gmail.com Hugs Ann
