FOREWORD

It is with pleasure that I write this Foreword to this the 1995 Women's Institute Recipe Book.
Although not a Service organisation as such Women's Institutes throughout Zimbabwe support their local communities and in particular the less fortunate.
It has become our practice to celebrate special Anniversaries with suitable National projects and as 1995 is our 70th Anniversary the profits from the sale of this Recipe Book will go towards such a Project.
Thank you for your support — I know you will enjoy the recipes and hope that you will encourage your friends to buy this book. I would like to thank Norah Robertson and her Committee who have worked hard in selecting these tried and tested recipes for your enjoyment.
Bon Appetit!
Anne Organ
NATIONAL PRESIDENT N.F.W.I.Z.

MESSAGE FROM THE CONVENER

This book is being produced to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of N.F.W.I.Z. I hope that it will not only prove to be useful but also bring pleasure to those who possess it.
The response to my request to the members for (tested) recipes has been quite overwhelming and I do thank you all for them. I am sorry that it is not possible to print them all.
A Committee comprising Beryl Castle-Ward, Beryl Stratfold, Marian Wheeler and Joan Parker was set up to select recipes and to test some of them in their kitchens and this proved to be great fun. A book of this nature involves a lot of hard work and I must thank my Committee most sincerely for their assistance.
To those Commercial Firms and individuals who have helped to sponsor this book I extend my sincere and grateful thanks. Any profits derived from the sale of this book will be donated to a worthy cause, to be decided upon at our Annual Congress.
NORAH ROBERTSON
CONVENER
