Wonder if there is anyone in NZ who has the whole collection.

She has a website with an online shop where you can buy her books, etc. Don't know the title of her first book but i am sure you could find out by Googling.

Earliest I can find on the Natlib website is.
"Here's how : cooking with Alison Holst."1966

That would be about the time we first heard of her.Her sister Patricia Payne was my school cooking teacher.I think she went on to become a food stylist (for recipe book pictures)

National Library search only returns 91 items.

Maybe I'm confused.I thought the one at our school was Payne, but I do know (or think I know) that she has two sisters.
