About this word search
Kiwi baking has its own classics, and many of them come from the Edmonds Cookery Book, first published in 1908 and still on most kitchen shelves. Afghans are chocolate biscuits with cornflakes and a walnut on top, ginger crunch is a buttery base with ginger icing, and Louise slice has raspberry jam under a coconut meringue. Pavlova is claimed by both New Zealand and Australia, and rēwena, the Māori potato bread raised with a fermented potato starter, has been baked here for generations.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Anzac biscuits and custard square are the longest at thirteen letters, one short of the full width. Yo-yos, fudge, icing and flour are the shortest at five, and Yo-yos loses its hyphen as YOYOS. Two-word bakes like custard square and date loaf run on without a space, and rēwena drops its macron to become REWENA. The Z of Anzac biscuits and the V of pavlova are the only ones on the board.
Pick one bake from the list to make together after the puzzle. If nobody knows the recipe, an older relative will, and that conversation is half the fun.
