hi i got this book out from the library and a recipe in it is for banana nut bread which you can bake in tin cans. In the recipe they say to add 1/2 cup of shortening (crisco) and im wondering is this still available to buy as ive seen kremelta or what could be used as a subsitute please. I would appreciate any feedback with thanks, Shirley. The cookbook was printed in NZ in 2008.

You can use either butter or oil in place of the shortening.

Crisco is a soft, whipped vegetable shortening, used in the USA. Am surprised it's an ingredient in this NZ cookbook - which, by the way, is currently in Postshop bookshops as a publisher's remainder and marked down from its original $60.00 price tag to $29.95.
Margarine would be OK.
