The Aussie Dumb A*se Cookbook 2

So you've caught crabs and you don't know what to do with them! Fear not, The Aussie Dumb A*se Cookbook 2, 'A Hunter and Gatherer's Guide' to the rescue.

Forget about the fast foods; this book aims to take you on a journey into creating fantastic wholesome foods from scratch. It contains a step-by-step guide to many time honoured techniques and has the recipes and tips to back them up.

More than just a cookbook, it also delves into such foreign subjects as how to set a table, cleaning out a stinky fridge, rookie tips for the gluten free guest and starting your own box garden; as well as dedicating in-depth sections to my all-time favourite things - Seafood, Camping and Christmas.

Two, four, six, eight - keep going, don't wait!

Breadmaking for Beginners, Camping Capers, Seafood made Simple, Herbing it Up, The Art of Preserving, How to Masta Pasta, The Meaty Bits, Festive Fare...
Lisa has had 25 years of experience cooking for her husband and three children who are all living proof of the recipes in this book (this is more than any degree surely). After reaching the much revered middle-aged milestone (you know the part where you look back on your life and think about all the things you were going to do but just never got round to), I was reminded of my ambition to write my own book. And, like most good ideas, it came from the front bar at the local footy club after a few gin and tonics. Around the same time, our eldest son was preparing to 'leave the nest' and, I felt duty bound to equip him with the information to still be able to enjoy the comforts of his mother's cooking in his own home. After all I didn't want him to wither and die from starvation when he left!

In her own breezy and often irreverent style, Lisa's Hunter and Gatherer's Guide will give you the techniques needed to take your culinary skills to a whole new level and have your family and guests lining up for more.
