Someone on Twitter was asking for a Banana Bread recipe, so I thought I would share my favourite which is R1409 from the NMAA Cooks Red Book (Aussies will know the one I’m talking about!)

It’s SO good to be able to afford bananas again! – they went up to $16 a kilo after the cyclone, but now we can actually use them for baking! I always add walnuts, my grandchildren love banana bread.
They were truely crazy prices – never thought I’d see a world where bananas were more expensive in Australia and even in Queensland than in Europe!
How do I find the recipes for these treats?
