The Barossa Cookery Book was compiled in 1917 as a war fundraiser. Reworked in 1932, it was reborn in a format that has become iconic. More than 100 years and 35 reprints later, it remains a powerful symbol of generosity and resilience. Rolling Up Their Sleeves is the result of Those Barossa Girls (Sheralee Menz and Marieka Ashmore) delving into archives and family interviews, then testing and translating recipes for a contemporary generation. It is a modern cookbook that re-presents classic recipes and through personal profiles, honours a group of generous and open-hearted women. If you already own a copy of the The Barossa Cookery Book, you will love this companion, but if you have never explored a historic cookbook, let Rolling Up Their Sleeves be your guide. Be inspired by the experience, knowledge & resourcefulness of these traditional recipes and the women behind them.
