Hi Rhonda - you wont believe this but the basic cookbooks I use most
often are the Australian Womans Weekly I and II. I am in New Zealand
and everything jsut fits.

I do find Donna Hay very good for some things; she tends to be very
cake and desset oriented, but otherwise quite sound. Do you get
Annabel Langbein cook books in OZ? If not, I recommend getting her
book Great Food for Busy Lives - it fits both NZ and Oz cuisines.

Cheers
