For you girls who want some wonderful recipes, including a delicious looking iced Chelsea bun, the magazine is out now. I bought it at lunchtime ( I have most of them for the vege gardening. There are also some fabulous recipes for ice-cream, pickles, beetroot recipes etc. It has a red cover with an apple pie featured. Well worth purchasing.Edited to say it should be Homegrown magazine LOL

I received mine today, marvelous lot of recipes and garden hints, so attractive too. Going to take me awhile to get through it. Worth having I'm sure, should all be well tried recipes.

Thanks for reminding me Cooks.Will put it on the shopping list right now.I have all the others.They are great value aren't they and full of good tips/recipes. I didn't renew my NZ Gardener magazine this year.It just hasn't been the same for me without Lynda at the helm - and I thought I would sooner spend the money on plants instead.They were starting to have a lot of articles that had no interest to me.I get the Fri night email from them every week and that is enough to keep me on top of things and timings.

I had decided not to buy any more of the Homegrown series but on these recommendations perhaps I will after all. I didn't renew my subscription to the magazine either.

I am pretty sure that the NZ Gardener mag is available using Westpac Hotpoints, however, the Homegrown one isn't. I find them a geat source of info and inspiration, especially since we have such a large vegetable garden

Just want to say this latest in the "Homegrown" series is well worth the cost.. It is absolutely packed with recipes, over 250 in fact, as well as tips on the best varieties of fruit and vegetables to grow and is far better value than some of the high-priced publications I have seen recently.

Well I took my new copy with me to the hairdressers this am to look at while my colour 'set'. What a fabulous selection of recipes.Made me quite hungry. Laughed at my hairdressers as she wiped it off(with my permission) and photocopied several recipes while the junior was washing my hair. I have enjoyed them all and keep them handy for reference but this one is definetely the best as far as recipes go. Looking forward to hearing what others make from it.
