Michelle Ford discusses her transformation from a reluctant cook to a celebrated cookbook author.
Her book, 'Cooking for Shearing Gangs', emerged from the necessity to feed hardworking shearers with hearty, carb-rich meals.
Initially hesitant, Forde says she embraced the challenge and created recipes like the popular Forde McMuffin to energise shearers through their demanding workdays.
She offers some practical tips for those looking to take inspiration from her book including preparing meals ahead of time using crockpots and keeping a variety of frozen slices for emergencies.
