Reviews

This treasure of a book is a window to a little slice of Canberra history, a collection of fond memories, a semi-biography and above all, a cookbook that provides engaging, unusual and mostly unpretentious recipes.”

Andree Stephens The Canberra Times

The editors have produced a marvellous book that is filled with recipes by Dymphna and many of her friends, as well as fascinating asides and snippets of information which evoke the ambience of Manning Clark House. Through it all runs a palpable sense of Dymphna’s graciousness and hospitality.” [Full text of the Review]

Robert Hefner, Eureka Street


It is a truly fascinating book for many reasons, begun as a fund raiser for MCH, ending as a real tribute to Dymphna Clark and her friends, and to the members of MCH who continue to cook and meet here.”

Penny Ramsay, Manning Clark House
