A Week of Vintage Australiana - Cookbooks

This is one of my favourite cookbooks. It has all Flo's recipes, her handy hints, and a section of ettiquette! I love her banana cake recipe....it's really easy and delicious.

This is Flo's favourite Grace for the beginning of each meal.

This is another favourite; the original 1970's Margaret Fulton cookbook and it's modern companion. All I can say is, "what the hell were they thinking in the 70's?" Not much of the food looks very appetising and I don't think I would actually cook anything that's in the 1970's book. I just flick through the pages for a laugh every now and then.....

Case in point.....check out the 1970's appetisers! Who has time for this before the visitors arrive?

A week of Vintage Australiana - Cars

I'm five days late and I haven't officially or properly joined in, but I've been having so much fun reading about everybody elses's vintage australiana items that I thought I'd better add my two cents!
