I had heard this book was released but can't see it on the H.O. website.  Where did you order yours from  Jamberie?  I'd love an index of the book if anyone knows where we can find it.

Good idea Judydawn although my DD tells me to buy a new phone as mine is outdated.  I will have to look around and find a suitable one.

I ordered mine (2 copies- one a gift) from the HO website on Wednesday morning. It has now shipped, I'll send through the contents asap :)
I looked at the Pinterest board and those recipes looked promising.

I was within 1km of HO today and I would've dropped in and bought one if I'd known. I saw something somewhere about it but I thought it was the baby/toddler book and didn't give it further thought. Would love to see the index. I have bought her mum, Suzanne Gibbs, latest PC book and have made about 4-5 things from it which have been really delicious and makes the purchase of the book extremely worthwhile for these recipes alone.

I only found out about the book by accident CP, and ordered it straight away.  I don't think it was publicised as well as other tm books. My consultant could only order 2 copies,  hence me ordering direct from HO. Perhaps the first print run was small.

HO were advertising it on their Facebook page. It went on sale last Monday.

It is available for sale on the HO website. There is an index available there too.

Of course I've ordered a copy!

Judy I've sent you the index.

My book arrived today and it looks lovely.  It's similar to her Baby & Toddler book. The book is aimed at families with young children as the recipes are family friendly and all have adaptions for babies & toddlers (so everyone can eat the same meal).  At first glance there are many lovely recipes included. I don't have any kids, but I don't think that matters - there are plenty of things I'd cook just for DH and myself.

What a wonderful day I've had so far in Adelaide.  DH was with me for a bit then went to the Art Gallery on North tce.  I had an appointment at Apple to view the new Watches to see which one I wanted.  Was so glad I went and had a look instead of just ordering on line.  Was originally going to get the 42mm one but after trying it and the 38mm one on, the 38mm fits so much better on my wrist and yet it's not that much smaller.  I was then able to order it and use some Apple vouchers that I've been saving just for this.  Looking forward now to it arriving.  :D

I then bought a pair of black suede wedge ankle boots that are better quality than a pair I have now.  The ones I have now you can feel stones through the thin soles which isn't comfortable at all but I love them, so was chuffed to find the same looking ones with a thicker sole. 
I then saw a great pair of shoes at Jo Mercers that will be perfect with jeans/leggings etc in soft navy blue leather; sort of like baseball shoes.  Felt so comfortable on and at $269 my DH is going to have kittens when he gets back to our Hotel.  His fault for leaving me alone in Rundle Mall!  ;D

Meeting our son in a wine bar this evening, so just having a bit of a rest.  Shopping can be so tiring.  ;D

Oooo, didn't know she had a new pc book out CP.  I must have a look for it as I use my pc a lot, especially over winter.  :)

JulieO what wonderful shopping. I'm sure your DH won't mind. Mine never minds, although I often admit I avoid the actual price of some things. Good on you.

Good to see you enjoying what Adelaide shops have to offer Julie, we need more people like you in the retail precinct LOL.

Thanks Katie, I've posted the index in Cookbook Contents.  Having seen the PDF list, I can appreciate how much work you did to make it forum friendly xxxx
