The PWMU Cookbook
An Australian classic, revised and fully updated for the 21st century. No home should be without The PMWU Cookbook.
The PWMU Cookbook, traditionally given to young people setting up home for the first time, has been in print and at the heart of Australian kitchens for over 120 years. It provides simple, healthy, money-saving recipes along with practical hints and tips for households of all kinds.
This latest collection of over 150 recipes includes a selection of Australia's most tried-and-tested treats, such as lemon meringue pie, scones, shortbread, and steamed pudding. It also offers recipes for everyday meals like curries, casseroles, and the perfect roast, as well as contemporary dishes including stir fries and bakes. Additionally, the book provides tips on jam making, preserving and chutneys, notes for new cooks, and hints for cleaning and home remedies.

The PWMU Cookbook has been managed by a committee since it was first published in 1904. The current PWMU Cookbook Committee structure was established in 1977 with the formation of the Uniting Church, consisting of members from both the Presbyterian and Uniting Churches in Victoria. The Committee's role is to ensure the cookbook continues to entice people into the kitchen to enjoy the benefits of their labour. Royalties provide funding for mission and teaching projects of both churches.

About the Author
The Presbyterian Women's Missionary Union (PWMU) in Victoria was formed in 1890. To raise funds, it was decided a cookery book would be produced and the first was compiled in 1904 under the name Home Cookery for Australia. Since then, subsequent editions of this work, now called The PWMU Cookbook, have been managed by a PWMU committee. Their role is to ensure the cookbook continues to entice people into the kitchen and enjoy the benefits of their labour.
