The New Blue Ribbon Cookbook by Liz Hartfull

The New Blue Ribbon Cookbook brings the skill, generosity and nostalgia of country show cooking into the home kitchen. Liz Hartfull shares prize-winning recipes, practical tips and time-honoured techniques for everything from scones and preserves to other show favourites, making this a rewarding book for both confident cooks and keen beginners.

More than a collection of recipes, this is also a celebration of the people and communities behind the show pavilion. With stories from cooks of all ages and backgrounds, it captures the warmth, pride and enduring place of agricultural shows in Australian life. A lovely choice for home bakers, preserve makers and anyone drawn to regional food traditions.
