The Cook and the Cookbook

When Jane Byrne’s children set her a task in her retirement to create a cookbook from their grandmothers Rita's recipes, she had all the ingredients except one. The basic computer skills to create a book.

With the help of weekly computer lessons at the Mount Gambier Library, Jane set to work, week after week to type the loose pages of faded hand written recipes, memories and photographs into a precious family keepsake.  Jane’s story is a celebration of family, food and lifelong learning, and just may be the inspiration others need to get their own project off the ground.
