Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Herbert's book grew out of a weekly column that he wrote for an Australian newspaper, and he describes his collection of recipes as "simple, nostalgic, eclectic." Eclectic it certainly is, ranging from Coleslaw to Lemon Curd to Salt and Pepper Squid. Although the text has been Americanized, some of the recipes, e.g., Fish Pie (and Pot of Tea), reflect the book's Australian origins; and while many of them are extremely easy and appropriate for beginners (e.g., Cinnamon Toast), more, longer headnotes would have been helpful for novice cooks. Still, this somewhat idiosyncratic volume has a certain appeal. For larger libraries. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
