Hi, just looking through the site and saw the book cover. …glanced over to my copy and the cover has a little green circle on it which says “Australian and New Zealand edition”. Just got me wondering about what the difference is. Any ideas?

I’m tempted to say it’s printed upside down but I won’t 😀
Perhaps any food mentioned in there is more orientated to the area ?

Hi DJD , that’s a funny image!!
I’m thinking the same as Bill – and the price will be printed differently as you won’t be paying in pounds sterling! Some of your foods are different or go under different names. You have some foods we can’t get back in Blighty! 🙂

Hi DJDAussie, Some of the differences are the names eg courgette/zuchinni. I don’t really know, but would another difference be the measuring? eg Australian Standard Measurements….I have no idea really. BUT it gives me an idea for a new ‘spotto’ game!

LOL, I got my book online from the UK cos I couldn’t wait for stock to arrive in Australia. Guess I’m lucky I’m bilingual then and didn’t need it to be translated from English to ‘Strine’ 🙂

If it’s only ingredient names then that’s OK. …just as long as the “pommies” aren’t eating full English breakfasts and high afternoon teas without us knowing. ….. lol. 😉
