To
Mum and Dad,
who put so much into
the day-to-day pleasure of cooking,
curiosity, shopping and eating

C ooks should season lightly as they go , having a care not to add so much salt, more of which can be added when checking that the seasoning is just right prior to taking to table.

The recipes in this book were cooked in a conventional oven. Fan-assisted oven temperatures should be lowered by 10C or even 20C depending on your oven.

A note on soup spoons: thank you in advance for indulging a cook measuring much in soup spoons. It is an old habit inherited from Mum, who had a great array of spoons, often old, some silver, some stainless steel, and often using soup spoons for tablespoons in the kitchen when measuring ingredients. For the recipes in this book, 1 soup spoon and 1 tablespoon can be used interchangeably.
