I have this book also as I am a member of Rural Women NZ. I also have the original 1965 book WDFF. Have made several out of both and love the tips in the latest one. They are having to do a reprint already. Shop around as the prices do vary from shop to shop.

Purchased this book today. It is a book of recipes from the kitchens of rural women of New Zealand. Lots of interesting recipes and alot of real oldies such as cheese busters, miracles, maid of honours.

Hi Pam.. I saw it reviewed and thought it sounded good.. had a browse around Whitcoulls last week - their range of books that have been written about Kiwi cooking over the years has increased a lot.. very tempting.. :-)

Hi Pam, are the cheese busters, the rolled bread and cheese, then toasted, that are quite a tradition down south? I saw them on a tv show one day. I'd like to know how they make those - they'd go down well with my kids, and theirs :o)

I think I entered a competition to win that in NZ Gardener.I bought the new bread book and made my first loaf of bread out of that today.I have a breadmaker but still prefer to do things by hand.

The bread and cheese ones are cheese rolls. Lots of recipes in a thread on here. If my memory is correct, cheese busters were a kind of cheesy cracker biscuit.
