Pacific Cook Book
p. 82 · Read in the full issue
The topical, tropical recipes of Renata Cochrane which have been a feature of the "South Pacific Post” in Port Moresby have now been reprinted in the form of a handy little recipe book.
The recipes are 184 in all and cover methods of dealing with tropical fruits and vegetables, egg, meat and fish dishes, some exotic cookery from other parts of the tropics, and last, but by no means least, how to deal with the übiquitous tin that all too frequently turns up on the menu of outport dwellers.
The recipe book is obtainable from South Pacific Post, Port Moresby for 4/- Australian currency, and as a sample of the goods here is how to make "Lodua” —that is, Pumpkin a la Eastern Papua.
Toast a piece of coconut meat in 4i le oven until well browned. Grate it and mix it with mashed pumpkin. Add half a cup of coconut cream, season with salt and pepper and serve very hot.
