With chapters on worm farms, composting, keeping chooks and keeping bees, what to plant where and when.

I have a particular penchant for gorgeous covers and Just Desserts certainly falls into that category.
Charlotte’s book is split into two sections; biscuits, slices, sweets and cakes, bundts, tarts. Thirty of her favourite, no-fuss recipes. Desserts her Grandma made. Many taking less than 30 minutes so you can enjoy sharing your bakes with friends.
Ree includes a simple introduction with tips for cooking and a guide to the basic equipment and baking tins required. The book also includes a handy conversion chart in the back.
There are no fancy over-priced ingredients with most of them already in any well stocked pantry. I had a quick look through all the ingredients and there was only a very small list of items I would need to specially purchase for some of the recipes.
The beautiful and colourful illustrations of wattle, bottlebrush, banksia, waratah and gum leaves throughout the book give it a true Australian flavour. I would like to give a special shout out to Alice Oehr for these gorgeous illustrations.

I have followed Julie’s career ever since and confess to owning every one of her cookbooks.
Dedicated to her sons, Julie Goodwin’s Essential Cookbook is all about cooking with love, from the heart and cooking with fresh ingredients, in season and locally sourced.
The book is filled with easy to cook recipes that don’t have an extensive list of ingredients that you’ll never use again. The recipes are simple, tasty and nutritious. Julie’s rissoles have already become a firm family favourite.
Over 300 recipes, many with a photo of the finished dish, are divided into eight sections for easy reference.
Julie Goodwin’s Essential Cookbook is a beautifully presented book well worthy of gift giving.
Sorry, that person's shelf is private.
