Now in its fourth print run, the Blue Ribbon Cookbook has become a favourite with home cooks around Australia who are interested in show cooking and traditional country recipes just like your grandmother used to make since it was published in 2008. As one reviewer of Liz Harfull’s award-winning book said, “This is about real people and real food… Not a celebrity chef in sight!”
Liz is now working on a follow-up to the original book, which was a runner-up in the 2009 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in Paris. Just like the first, the new book will celebrate all the things we love about country Australian shows and their big city cousins, bringing together stories, images and, of course, prize-winning recipes.
