Dianne Northfield has been a professional researcher and writer for 25 years. Dianne was born in Australia and now lives in Massachusetts in the United States. Her principal food taste tester is her husband, Doug. Dianne gets help, sometimes chaos, in her large garden from her Morkie puppy, Sami. This recipe book is based on Dianne’s long-term interest and experience in writing, cooking and gardening. This is the third in a series of books focused on cooking with homemade ingredients and fresh herbs and produce. The first in the series is Rekindled Recipes: Cooking with Homemade Stock, the second is Rekindled Recipes: Homemade Cooking with Spices. These books are about rekindling old recipes, often giving them new twists. Inspired by Dianne’s nanna, they are also about using old skills to be less wasteful in the kitchen, and thus more environmentally sound and ultimately healthier.
