Frog's 'Kitchen Companion' is not Mr. Chad nor is it a greedy and noisy cockatoo; rather, it stands as a blog profoundly influenced by a plethora of historic cookbooks. Notable among these are 'Mrs. Beeton's Cookery Book,' 'Warne's Everyday Cookery by Mary Jewry,' and the notable work of Australia's Wilhelmina Rawson. In her book ‘Queensland Cookery and Poultry Book’ (1878), Rawson explicitly stated that it was "...written entirely for the Colonies, and for the middle classes, and for those people who cannot afford to buy a Mrs. Beeton or a Warne, but who can afford the three shillings for this."In that period, the act of copying recipes was rife, a practice that would be heavily scrutinised and frowned upon in the contemporary culinary world. The abundance of cookbook authors in both past and present times has made it nearly impossible to avoid duplicating recipes. Many of the recipes in this blog reflect what was eaten at that time, retro cooking in effect.
Many of the videos are different to the given recipe and contain unhealthy ingredients. If you see a better video let us know in the comments and we will check it out.
The fundamental objective of this publication is to present cooking in a manner that is not only healthier but also cost-effective. It involves substituting traditional fats and oils with alternatives that are more body-friendly, often offering a superior taste. Innovation, deeply rooted in the lessons of history, guides this pursuit, and a willingness to embrace change is a prime motivator. Converting all measurements to the metric system is one way to mitigate the bewildering array of measurement units prevalent in the world today.
Similar to the evolutionary nature of Mrs. Beeton's book, which underwent frequent updates to stay relevant, the Kitchen Companion is an ongoing project. It is bound to evolve and adapt in accordance with the author's passion and energy.
We hope to introduce the reader to some Australiana and personalities.
