Who doesn’t have at least one Women’s Weekly cookbook knocking about their kitchen?
There’s a reason why they’re so beloved, even today, which is why we’ve delved deep into the cookbook archives and turned up the Collectors’ Edition of this classic, Sweet Old-Fashioned Favourites.
Lemon meringue pie
Is there anything more delicious than a slice of tart-yet-sweet lemon meringue pie to finish up a gorgeous, home-cooked meal? Didn’t think so. Keep it simple with this tried-and-tested Australian Women’s Weekly recipe and you’ll never go wrong.
Devil’s food cake
Rich, dense and oh-so-chocolatey, you can’t talk old-fashioned desserts without mentioning devil’s food cake. This one is the perfect treat for birthday parties, afternoon tea or even just because. Why not!
Apple Charlotte
A sweet combination of apple pie and apple cake, apple Charlotte delights to this day. Cut a generous slice of this one and serve with a hot cup of tea. Bliss.
