The Aunt Daisy Cookbook

Aunt Daisy was one of New Zealand's best-loved radio personalities. Many remember her cheery voice at 9am every day calling "Good morning, everybody". While her nationwide broadcasts ended more than 40 years ago, her legacy lives on. The Aunt Daisy Cookbook was first published in 1968 and has been reprinted more than 20 times since. Containing over 700 recipes, it is a great collection of classic New Zealand dishes. Aunt Daisy's recipes are simple, practical, economical and as useful today as when they were first published.
