Home-grown treasure
NEWS.com.au – May 15, 2007

Margaret and her daughter, Suzanne Gibbs, have put a fresh spin on some of her favourite and most popular recipes in a new book, Margaret Fulton’s Kitchen. The pair have sifted through thousands of recipes from 25 books and almost 40 years as a celebrity cook and created some new recipes in what was to become a deeply personal project. "It is mostly the food I cook at home and enjoy, not show-off pieces," she says. "We love creme caramel and probably eat that once a week, cook pikelets on Sundays and maybe a pavlova for a party. I think I live the way others live, and that’s why I think people will enjoy the book. "
Margaret loved working on the book with Suzanne, who, at the age of 18, learned to cook family meals in the Fulton kitchen while her mother was writing her first book and who is now the cookery editor at Table magazine. "She has injected some fresh flavours and ideas," says Margaret, who handwrote every recipe title in the book, a task that was "fun but exhausting".

BPO firms are among the highest, prompting many home-grown BPOs to scout for
acquisitions abroad rather than in India. WNS Holdings, which is listed on the
NYSE, is valued at over 50 times its earnings while EXL Service Holdings,

earnings.
