I am so appreciative.<br />I am hoping The Cook and Baker will be discounted somewhere. I actually bought two "Four & Stone" books recently for $5.00 each at a pop-up book shop. They have gone into my gift drawer and ready for the right time & person.<br />Thank you again for allocating so much of your time to answering my questions. I think you are a food-blogger extraordinaire.<br />Pleased the passport is ready for pick-up. Reassuring that you will be getting on that plane.<br />Enjoy a simply wonderful holiday. Time seems to stretch further when on overseas holidays so pack as much into each day.<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562386940084493089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032825.post-70374720818968973352019-05-01T15:55:47.904+10:002019-05-01T15:55:47.904+10:00Hi Angela,

Now the only issue is taking time off work to get there before they close at 4.00 p.m. It will probably be Friday before I can do that.<br /><br />I do like the Cook and Baker cookbook. The recipes are much more homey than Flour and Stone and don't require the same technical expertise. Both owners are from New Zealand so there are a number of classic Kiwi cakes in the book. I still haven't made a huge number of things from the book though. Off the top of my head I've made a savoury tart/raspberry jam using their recipe/lamington cupcakes/plum squares/salted caramel brownies/apricot amaretti and passionfruit curd meringue tarts. There are loads more items than that though. I think it's well worth it especially if you see it discounted anywhere. I think I saw one thrown out for council clean-up day not so long ago!Jillian Leiboffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021716947712252732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032825.post-87161330532931712212019-05-01T15:35:17.816+10:002019-05-01T15:35:17.816+10:00How exciting.

I absolutely loved Austria and will certainly be visiting there again.<br /><br />Going back to food/recipes, I recall you posted a recipe from the Cook and Baker Cookbook. I love Flour & Stone, having made a number of recipes from it....would you recommend buying The Cook and the Baker? I am holding off buying it until I hear what you have to say. <br />I am trying to curb my cookbook spending and only buying ones that will get used.<br />Trust your passport gets sorted speedily.<br />regards,<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562386940084493089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032825.post-28340081848201087322019-05-01T09:42:27.031+10:002019-05-01T09:42:27.031+10:00Thanks Angela.

Looking forward to tasting pastries in Switzerland, Greece and Finland on my travels. Lots of travel photos will be coming your way until I return to the kitchen in mid June.Jillian Leiboffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021716947712252732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032825.post-43428713704421172702019-04-30T17:41:53.773+10:002019-04-30T17:41:53.773+10:00Will certainly miss your blog posts each Monday wh...Will certainly miss your blog posts each Monday while you are holidaying.
