    Hi Margaret. You share the same name as My Mum, and I grew up with the recipes, unfortunately my Mum, cannot understand what you are doing supporting Woolworths. Margaret we are people from the land- I know you have a good heart and probably dont know this, but Coles And Woolworths are literaly killing the farmers in a premeditated way. I hope you research and find this is fairdinkum Margaret and you will stand by Australian Farmers. God Bless you Margaret.

    Margaret, I still make my American Style pumpkin pie using your recipe. I have discovered that the butternut pumpkin you recommended is even better if you roast it, not boil it, before you make the pumpkin puree. Thanks for helping a transplanted Yank make homestyle pumpkin pie without a can of pumpkin. Your Encyclopedia of Cookery is a Classic cookbook in my family! Starr Gotzen rgotzen@bigpond.com

    From one generation to another: I actually nicked mum's Margaret Fulton cookbooks when I moved out of home. She quickly noticed so I had to bring them back with my tail between my legs. She has since gifted her new one to me! Love your work "Aunty Marg" !!!

    I Love Margaret, I was 6 years old when i started cooking from her cook book. Mum had recieved it for a wedding present. She would cook from it. i would watch. I believe that's how I grew my passion for cooking. I still enjoy cooking from her books. Thanks for the passion in your wounderful recipes that have made me want to know the kitchen better.

    I live in Cape Town, South Africa and I was given The Margaret Fulton Cookbook in 1969 when I moved into a communal house and had to learn to cook. It became my 'Bible' and I still use it often along with the 3 other books of hers I bought subsequently. I have become a passionate cook and own a huge library of other books but none of them are as good. Congratulations.

    I met Margaret Fulton many years ago when I worked in North York Street at a Printing factory in Sydney, she lived nearby the little shop I used to call in every morning,she was a lovely lady and always had a pleasant word to say . Her cook books are great,very down to earth and easy to understand.

    My mum had one of her cookbooks when I was growing up and I remember always flicking through it and looking at the pics, wishng mum would cook this or that. Years later I rang her and asked for the Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic recipe that I remembered was in there - it was divine! I've also been using Margaret's Beef Stroganoff recipe ever since I got it out of a Woman's Day mag back in the 80's - it tastes soooo good!

    I'd love to know & hear what other members favourite Margaret Fulton recipes are... I still marvel that she had to educate Australians on how best to eat spaghetti in her classic cookbook..oh how times have changed.
