Regular price $49.41 Sale

Jacqui O was a typical 1960s Australian housewife who cooked every day for her family of 6. She would serve a protein meat, chicken or fish with 3 vegetables and a fabulous dessert every night. Ingredients were typically purchased fresh every day from a horse and cart grocer that come up the street or local grocery stores as well as growing some of the vegetables herself. This book was published by her children and their partners in her honour and is a great representation of home cooking from a bygone era. We hope you enjoy cooking and experimenting with the recipes as much as Jacqui’O herself did.

Great collection of recipes from beloved mum

This book gives you not only a collection of some great recipes but also takes you back at 1960s portraying how a mother used to look after her family. Neil O'Sullivan must be very fortunate as he managed some time from his extremely busy life for this wonderful compilation to keep some memories of his mother alive.

While reading through his mother's life I was really shocked by hearing that married women were not allowed to work for the public service in QLD during that time and so his mother had to resign after getting marriage. However, she left all the amazing recipes in written form and I must say her handwriting was also very beautiful.

Anyone will find interest in this book and can enjoy some mouth-watering recipes.

Excellent Recipes!
