Margaret Fulton needs no introduction. A lifetime dedicated to teaching Australians how to cook through magazines, cookbooks and TV appearances have made her one of the most recognised and respected cooking experts in the country.
In her latest cookbook, Margaret Fulton Favourites, the 86 year old shares a collection of much-loved, essential recipes. These are the favourites she comes back to time and time again and the ones her family, friends and fans always ask about.
When your career spans over 50 years, much of it spent on various travelling and cooking spells overseas, a collection of your favourite recipes is bound to be an eclectic one. Good old beef stroganoff and sticky-date pudding find themselves in the more refined company of Nicoise salad and pears in red wine. Quick and easy dishes like saltimbocca share pages with the more time-consuming paella Valenciana.
Fulton introduces her recipes with advice and memories, giving us a glimpse of a life filled with fascinating journeys, food and people. Like her early trips to China and Italy, or the time she was entertained by a member of the Thai royalty. Her love for straightforward, honest cooking is obvious and infectious.
With a range of recipes covering soups, mains, salads and desserts, Margaret Fulton Favourites is a great resource for any home cook, especially those keen to add more of an international flavour to their repertoire.
