Cooks Book
Every recipe has a story, and every story begins with someone who loved to cook.
The people you’ll meet here are the family members, friends and home cooks whose treasured recipes inspired the Brookie Pantry collection. Many of these recipes were originally handwritten, typed on old recipe cards or shared through family cookbooks before finding their way into our kitchen.
While each recipe has been carefully edited and modernised by your website hostess to suit today’s Australian home cooks, the heart of every dish still belongs to the original contributor. Their generosity, creativity and love of sharing good food continue to inspire every recipe we publish.
We hope you’ll enjoy getting to know the wonderful cooks behind the various collections, because preserving their stories is just as important as preserving their recipes.
