To Celebrate Commonwealth Day - A Vanuatu Cook Book Index

Today is Commonwealth Day!

The theme for this year is "A Connected Commonwealth".

To learn more, see The Commonwealth website or social media. This is a special year, the 70th anniversary of the London Declaration making all member states of the Commonwealth equal members. If you are interested in the Commonwealth, I previously wrote an article which gives links to more about Canada's history in the Commonwealth which I hope you'll find useful.

The hashtags are  #CommonwealthDay  #ConnectedCommonwealth

To celebrate, I've indexed another recipe book from my cook book collection, this time the Vanuatu Red Cross Society Cook Book. This was originally published in 1947 to raise funds for "Food for Britain" and the French "Sons of the Fallen". The book was reprinted in 1985.

The Republic of  Vanuatu joined the Commonwealth in 1980 after gaining independence having been under French - British administration since 1906. Here is the official Vanuatu Travel website; there is more about local food there.

If anyone in your family is listed in this Index, contact me and I'll send you the information as in the book. One of the recipes is for Gateau Diane, but I don't think the woman who submitted it was a relative of mine.

Names are transcribed as in the book and I make no judgements about who is who. L. Ovens may be Lois Ovens, for instance. A few restaurants gave recipes. I've included them here as I thought they might be of interest if a family member worked in one. A few people have a residence note.
