That would be like the movie Julie and Julia - Julie worked her way throughJulia Childs cook book. I loved the movie! If you do it will you be blogging about it? It'll be neat to read your progress.

I don't think she had a blog - she seemed to be under the impression that posting in this forum was the same as blogging.

I am 42 years old and have never owned an Edmounds Cookbook. Everytime I want to try and cook/bake anything new I always tell myself I must buy the Edmounds cookbook, but when out and about never think about it.

Good idea elliehen. I hadn't realised that they had changed.....there are newer editions. I was down at my Mums last week and cooked something out of her cookbook that I use to cook often 25 years ago.

Day one(24/4/11) Roast chicken with “basic bread stuffing” page 135, although I have substituted sage with mixed herbs, I have followed the recipe and it all seems pretty straight forward.The chicken I’m stuffing is only a little one, so I didn’t bother “trussing” it, as mentioned on page 133. Something to try for another time…with the chicken will be some sautéed veges and “Broccoli with almonds”, page 158, although I’ll have to leave the almonds off the hubby’s, he’s not a fan of nuts... Dinner turned out to be an epic fail in my opinion….the chicken was good and the stuffing was yummo too… I didn’t like the sauce that goes on the broccoli, it was very sharp and with broccoli having no taste at the best of times, all I could taste was lemon.Strangley enough, tonight I also found out that dear hubby doesn’t like broccoli, how, after over 5 years, did I NOT know this???? My friend Lorna gave me a packet of “bread sauce” that you put with chicken, kind of like a white sauce with breadcrumbs but with a sour cream and chives taste. Very odd, but certainly worth a try! – I think I quite like it.It’s not sold in NZ but you can pick it up from one of those British shops. There is nothing for dessert tonight, was going to make apple cake with some apples my friend gave me, but to be honest, I’m so full and so bummed out about how crap tea was, I think I’ll just pour myself another bourbon… shame that’s not in the Edmonds cook book! Tomorrow I’ll pick up some flour and attempt some baking… Anzac Biscuits, hot cross buns, apple something and maybe a loaf of bread…..maybe HA!
