The Story behind the recipe

We lived in a very social neighbourhood during our Brisbane years. Libby & Stan were near neighbours, and along with Dianne & Garry, we’d have these delicious get-togethers. One night, Libby produced this wonderful but simple dessert with stewed strawberries.

The rest is Blue Book history!
