The School of Experience

The Country Women’s Association of Western Australia decided to publish The C.W.A. Cookery Book and Household Hints during a conference in August 1931, after delegates supported a motion from the branch at Nungarin, in the state’s north-eastern wheatbelt. Aside from raising funds, the CWA hoped the cookbook would result in an exchange of economical ideas and experience, which would make life easier for its members during the hard years of the Depression.
