I just wanted to thank those of you that recommended the Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks to me. I had seen them years ago but couldn't find them again here until recently.

Last week I bought a vegetarian cookbook from the series and it's terrific! I made the vegetable biriyani rice recipe and it was a big hit.

I even recommended the series to someone else on this site.

I may have to hit you all up for some translations for certain ingredients I've never heard of -

Thanks again for the help!

That would be kykaree I guess? I even found myself on the Australian Women's Weekly site the other day I forget why! I don't even cook... I think I was just being nosey.

I love them, too - I use the Casserole one all the time. I haven't got the Vegetarian one but I have got the Vegetable one and thats got some great ideas.

Ooh, they have a site? I will have to check that out!

Mauvaisroux, you'll have to remember that a courgette is just a zucchini and that aubergine is eggplant!

It's just like us UK chicks trying to use Fitday

Thanks mummy_tummy! There were a few things in the book that I wasn't sure about. I will have to post them here to see if you lot can help me out.

We will do our best! You can also help us if we need a American/Canadian to UK explanation!

I love those recipe books too! They sell them on Amazon but I usually have found them in book shops near me.

This might help with the translations: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/People/mbishop/engfood.html

Thank you!

I've got the vegetarian one and I love it.
