Farm House Cooking

A$13 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books · No longer available

Country homes - like no other - have a certain evocative feel about them, a feeling of warmth, homeliness, peace and calm, a far cry from the lives we lead in our homes in busy cities. This wonderful book takes the reader for a stroll through the home, starting at the heart of every house - the kitchen - with recipes for bread, breakfast and preserves. The verandah is the place morning tea, afternoon tea and supper is served. The dining room is kept for more formal meals and larger gatherings of guests. Think special occasions, such as christenings, birthdays and Christmas. Last, but certainly not least, is the garden, where barbecues rule. Or perhaps a feast served on a long table, set under the trees - there is something special about this.
