{"product_id":"9781452588308","title":"Gwenda's Home Baking: Country Style: Aussie baking at its best","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbout ten years ago, Mum gave me two of her old exercise books, which contained a lot of handwritten recipes she had collected since 1953. I transcribed these, to preserve them for posterity, as the ink was fading and was diffi cult to read. I remember using these books as a teenager on the farm, baking on weekends to fill the cookie jar and make some cakes for the farm hands. As a lover of good home baking, Mum’s recipes have always been there to produce some of those nostalgic smells of freshly baked cakes and biscuits. I loved baking for my kids when they were growing up, and they always preferred Mum’s baked cakes and biscuits over anything bought from the supermarkets.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMum has seen it all whilst on the farm. She’s been through droughts and fl oods, good and bad times, and has had her share of adversities. She is a survivor of breast cancer and is currently cancer-free. She has been an inspiration to all of us growing up, and this is one way of giving a little of that back. I have three sisters, and we all cannot stress enough to all women to keep vigilant with self examination and mammograms, as early detection will equal early intervention and good outcomes. I use a lot of these recipes for fundraisers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Balboa Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156648476912,"sku":"9781452588308","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452588308_p0.jpg?v=1763844494","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452588308","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
