When I first started cooking I would always go to the Woman's Weekly Cookbooks and every time a new book came out I had to have it and still have everyone to this day.

This is my family's favourite Lemon Chicken which comes from the old Chinese Woman's Weekly cookbook I'm posting it to

Thank you so much Suzanne Rose for this recipe. It's my long distance shopping day on Tuesday and I will be getting the chicken breast on the top of my list, can't wait to try it
Also intend to try the prawn stir fry you posted yesterday.
Again, many thanks, have a nice day

Oh, great, I already have some so it looks like lemon chicken tomorrow night, have already defrosted leg of lamb for tonight.
It's 6am here in WA and I am just about to have a coffee and spend the morning in my oversize garden and then after lunch make a lemon cheesecake.
Any other lemon recipes would be gratefully received, I have so many lemons I don't know what to do with them, can't even give them away as just about everybody in a country town has a lemon tree lol
Have been giving oranges away left, right and centre. Lots of swapping goes on, I belong to the local garden club so never have to buy eggs, just swap oranges, rock melons, water melon etc or even plants as I take a lot of cuttings from my garden and propogate them.

I'm in Sydney. I just had the same problem with too many lemons and banana's. I gave so many away and made so many lemon and banana recipes

Now I only have a few lemons on the tree and wished I'd made juice and froze some. Banana's have gone up to $5.50 kg . I have more hands on the trees but won't be ready for maybe another 6 weeks .

Have a look through my recipes that I have posted I'm sure I posted alot of lemon recipes .

Thanks again, wish I could grow bananas but it gets so cold here in winter.
The problem if living inland, very cold in the winter and stinking hot in the summer. Worried about my garden surviving this summer
