Just use the edmonds recipe - its pretty much the same and turns out well each time.Just remember to cook the mix for 1-2 mins once the flour is added so the flour cooks out a little.If you don't do this, they do not turn out as well.It looked impressive last night eh?Must try that next time - like the sound of lemon butter swirled through the whipped cream too.

It is a lovely book.I received it for my birthday last month and have already made several things.I wish I had access to the beautiful stonefruit she uses.We used to live near Loburn many years ago and be able to buy impossibly juicy tree-ripened peaches, etc. every day or two.Hardly a stone-fruit place there now and the supermarket produce isjust not the same.

Just had her tea-smoked salmon with green veges for dinner. It was eay enough for my 7 year old to make and both dishes were amazing! I have the book, and honestly didn't even look at it until i saw her make the meals on t.v. I've also tried the bread and lavosh crackers which are also great. To be fair, most of her recipes are not original, but it's always good to be reminded of some old favourites or just prompted to try something a bit different.

The lemon swirled through the cream is delicous on pavs too, although I usually spread the lemon over the pav and then top with cream, but would be nice annabells way. Duck is beautiful tea smoked too.

does anyone have her latest book. Is it worth paying the $$ for. I got a voucher for whitcoulls in the post, for 50% off, wondering whether to buy or not.

Oooo korbo - that would make it only $30 and definitely a bargain.I am on the waiting list at the library for it but there are 150 people before me!
I would love a 50% voucher and then I would go buy it for sure.

i have been a fan of hers for years, i dont have her current cookbook but i own about 5 of them, and out of all the cookbooks i buy its her recipes i actually have made, many of the others sit and collect dust, so go buy it if you like her you will use it for years to come

I bought the book yesterday to put away as one of my Xmas pressies. What a beautiful book.The photography and presentation is exceptional.Makes one want to move to Central Otago. I have all her books.Enjoy her simplicity and the additional examples of how to use that particular recipe. I don't think I will last until Xmas tho for some of the recipes.I can see myself sneaking it out - albeit momentarily.

Yes it's a lovely book...I bought 3 copies...2 for gifts and 1 for myself.Not complaining but.....throughout the book you often have to make 1 recipe in order to be able to make the other, so you have to be organized.Any ideas what I can make with left over lemon curd?

It's a beautiful book to just browse through. You can use the lemon curd on toast, or it's particularly nice on crumpets.

+ Stir it through Greek yoghurt.
+ Make Alison Holst's Lemon Muffins (she says it's her all-time favourite recipe) and then split them while warm and fill with lemon curd...and eat :)
