<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Every year, hundreds of talented amateurs devote hours to preparing entries for cookery competitions run as part of 600 or so agricultural shows across Australia. In their quest for a precious blue ribbon, they use recipes based on generations of experience and strict judging codes that demand absolute perfection. <p/> In this follow-up to her first award-winning book, <i>The Blue Ribbon Cookbook</i>, Liz Harfull brings together 70 tried and true recipes from some of the country's most enthusiastic and talented show cooks. But more than that, in <i>The Australian Blue Ribbon Cookbook</i> Liz shares their heart-warming stories, and the wisdom, knowledge, and generosity of spirit that brings success, even for novices. Whether it's a traditional Mixed Mustard Pickle or Madeira Cake, mouth-watering Sausage Rolls or Pumpkin Damper, Jenny's Jam Drops or Cousin Barb's Jelly Slice, there is something delicious for everyone to try. <p/> The end results may even win you a blue ribbon! <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Here is race memory and the faith of the mothers rewarded - a harvest of thanks made with flour measured out in an old cup without a handle, kept in the kitchen dresser. The secret ingredient is love." --<i>Sunday Mail</i><br><br>"The spirit of the Australian country show permeates the pages of this marvellously nostalgic collection of show recipes, judges' hints and vintage images." --<i>Gourmet Traveller</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Liz Harfull </b>is passionate about telling the stories of regional Australia, its people, communities, history, and traditions. She is an award-winning rural journalist and communicator. In 2006 Liz walked away from corporate life, as a director of a leading national public relations agency, to write books. Her leap of faith was rewarded two years later with <i>The Blue Ribbon Cookbook</i>. Capturing the stories and traditions of South Australian country shows and show cooks, it even took her to Paris where it won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award. Since then she has written <i>Women of the Land</i> and <i>The Australian Blue Ribbon Cookbook</i>, and <i>Almost an Island: the Story of Robe</i>.
