Yes, it’s true. I have been promoted!
A position of great tradition and, dare I say it, possibility. The sort of opportunity that truly excites me…
I am the newly elected Branch Cookery Officer for the Bangalow CWA. (Country Women’s Association)

It’s a dream job. I get to host cooking days, organise our local part of the Land Cookery Competition, and showcase the fabulous recipes for which the CWA are famous.
I promise to blog some of these recipes for you in upcoming posts, as well as hints and tips to help you have success whether you are cooking at home, or for a competition. There’s a wealth of talent, wisdom and kitchen magic here in this organisation, and I’m keen to share it with you!
Well, back to the kitchen for me. We have a fundraising cake stall this Saturday, outside our rooms in the main street of Bangalow. Perhaps we’ll see you there! 🙂

Congrats Spirit Sister! The CWA cookbook was my first culinary purchase for Home Ec many many moons ago! I have a sticky date pud recipe from there which definitely has it over any restaurant one I have tried. Here’s to blissful baking Sweet Nic with lashings of love throughout! XXX
