This is a page from a South Australian cookbook, published by Argonout Bookshop circa 1945. MJ’s stepfather, Pete, gave it to me when we were in Elliston. It’s lost its cover and the pages are wrinkled and acid-burned but the recipes are delightful. Expect to see some of them in upcoming Recipe Thursdays.

But what cracks me up is the page opposite this brilliant bread ad.
