Ladies, A Plate book


Just bought 'Ladies, A Plate' by Alexa Johnston. Great name for a book!

This delicious book is a wonderfully researched treasure combining NZ's social history with delightful traditional home baking recipes. The photos show beautifully presented food and check out the genuine vintage tablecloths and doilies.

I love to bake and reading this book made me feel quite nostalgic. It's also inspired me to try to bake my way through it by making each recipe. So this weekend, I'll be starting with the first recipe, Afghans. More to come!
