New Zealand Cookbooks (still more)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   More stuff from my reading of all the cookbooks in the Christchurch library today.
   Recheck the "Anzac crispies" in the ST. ANDREW'S COOKERY BOOK.  I'm sure it was 1922, but the DICTIONARY OF NZ ENGLISH has 1932...A lot of the cookbooks had no dates at all--not even guesses of the decade.  It took me a lot of time to figure out from the Morris Minor car ads what year it was from.
