I’m Brian. I like dabbling with cooking, often trying new recipes. I enjoy the challenge of baking. I endorse these recipes. I’ve tried most of them. Many come from my mother’s old recipe book and are ones I enjoyed growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live in New Zealand and use the metric system, but many old recipes use imperial measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photo below includes my mother’s recipe book, her old Edmonds<\/a> baking powder<\/a> tin and a jar containing ginger<\/a> for cooking. The green tin is an unopened tin of Strangs pure ground pimento or allspice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
