About the Author

The Home Economics Institute of Australia (HEIA) NSW Division, formerly known as the NSW Cookery Teachers' Association, was established in 1910. Members of the Association who worked in the public education system at the time were the original authors of The Commonsense Cookery Book, first published in 1914. The HEIA NSW Division places great importance on its role of updating and maintaining The Commonsense Cookery Book, and ensuring its usefulness for future generations. This significant and cherished book remains a valuable resource for home economists in professional, community and family contexts alike. Home economists proudly play important roles in advocating for food and education systems that promote the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.
