Innholdsfortegnelse for 1932 i Woman's Day

Besides a scrapbook of recipes my mother collected, there were two cookbooks I remember growing up – The Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book and The Margaret Fulton Cookbook. It was with sadness last week we farewelled Margaret, not only a legend of cooking but Woman’s Day Food Editor for 25 years. Ahead of her time, she was Australia’s first celebrity cook – supremely talented in the kitchen, a loving mother and a true national treasure. We’ve been honoured to bring to life her iconic recipes for generations of Aussie women. On behalf of the Woman’s Day Test Kitchen team we send love to the Fulton family as we salute the original and the best foodie of our time.…

Just months after taking a little “me time” at a mental health treatment centre, fears are resurfacing again over “extremely unstable” Britney Spears. The singer, 37, turned up to the LA premiere of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood last week with boyfriend Sam Asghari, 25, but one onlooker said she appeared “very confused and disorientated”, prompting concern she’s not ready to step back into the limelight. “Britney was clinging onto Sam for dear life and was acting like a deer in headlights in front of the cameras and crowds,” says the source. “Her friends are worried she’s still in a fragile emotional state and needs to go back to rehab, before she ends up having another breakdown.”…

The buzz should have been about her much-anticipated new film, but instead all eyes were on Margot Robbie’s strategically covered stomach amid whispers that she’s expecting. The Australian actress, 29, looked stunning in her floaty Chanel gown at the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood premiere in Los Angeles. And our insider says she had “a hint of a bump” when the wind blew and her dress clung to her tummy. Adds the source, “She avoided alcohol at the afterparty – she’s usually first in line for a champagne.” But the big news was thought to be ruined with the noticeable absence of her husband Tom Ackerley, 29. “Every time the cameras weren’t on her, she looked downcast and lonely,” says the source. “Her brother Cameron was trying to cheer…

With all kinds of animals scuttling in the background and a rainforest setting straight out of a Queensland postcard, it’s hard to imagine a more romantic spot for a proposal. And that’s where Bindi Irwin’s boyfriend of almost six years, Chandler Powell, pulled off the engagement of the year, with sources telling Woman’s Day he chose the Wildlife Warrior’s milestone 21st birthday to get down on one knee in the middle of Bindi’s Island – an animal habitat she designed in the heart of Australia Zoo. But after accepting her sparkler – a custom-made oval-stone ring flanked by a diamond-encrusted band – Bindi soon learned it wasn’t just her, her future husband and a chorus of wildlife witnessing the big moment. Soon after saying “yes”, her little brother – and…

In what was supposed to be a celebratory end to Seven’s House Rules, the season seven final curtain has drawn to a close in a complete state of disarray with the shock departure of the show’s host Johanna Griggs. Taking to Instagram, the former competitive swimmer told fans she’d asked “to be allowed to step down from House Rules” ahead of next year’s production. In Johanna’s end-of-days announcement, the 45-year-old mother-of-two referred to the show as a “beast” and pointed out that reality TV production had been an “eye opener” for her. Speaking to Woman’s Day, a source close to the popular TV presenter reveals that Johanna found her stint on the reality show increasingly challenging. “As the pursuit for ratings gets more intense, producers are pushing participants to the…

When film critic Bill Collins died in Sydney at the age of 84, it hit Bert hard, not least of all because he was finally robbed of any chance of mending a secret 20-year rift with the man known to many Aussies as “Mr Movies”. The falling out between the former friends happened when Bert impersonated Bill during an episode of Good Morning Australia, but the joke failed to impress Bill, who never spoke to Bert again. “Bert reached out a number of times to apologise, but Bill refused to speak to him,” reveals a TV industry source. “Bert was mortified that he’d hurt Bill. It certainly wasn’t intentional, just Bert being Bert. It’s preyed on his mind over the years, but they never reconciled, and now there is no…

Margaret Fulton was, and always will be, the true blue queen of Australian home cooking. Over her career spanning multiple decades, the fun-loving, caring, free-spirited and one-time Woman’s Day Food Editor has whet our palettes with tantalising treats and made our tummies rumble with her scrumptious recipes. But on July 24, millions of Aussies shed a tear for Margaret, who sadly passed away, aged 94. The celebrated cook and author, best known for the ground-breaking Margaret Fulton Cookbook – which was first published in 1968 – was the friendly face of Aussie cooking long before celebrity chefs like Curtis Stone and Neil Perry put us on the international map. “What Margaret did so successfully was to introduce restaurant-style recipes to the home cook in an era when most families were…

Judith Nwokocha and her husband Femi were over the moon when they found out she was pregnant after a heartbreaking eight-year fertility battle. The couple were even more thrilled when Judith found out she was carrying twins. “I still remember being told the IVF had worked and that I was finally having a baby,’ the 38-year-old from Calgary, Canada, tells Woman’s Day. “The doctors didn’t know at the time but I immediately knew I was having twins – something deep inside me just knew, almost like my motherly instincts had kicked in already.” It was at Judith’s second scan that doctors confirmed she was having twins, but their joy was overshadowed with the news there were concerns one of the twins could have Down syndrome. HEALTH SCARE “At seven weeks…

She may have been the first person voted off Australian Survivor for 2019, but Susie Maroney says she’s still happy to have been a part of the show. “I feel like I have achieved everything I wanted to achieve,” says the champion long-distance swimmer and single mum to three children, Paris, 11, Capri, eight, and River, seven. Susie says she made sure she was match-fit before heading off to Samoa. “I got as fit as I could for 44 – running around, packing school lunches,” she jokes. “I had already been swimming with the children, because they [train] three times a week in the pool, so I had fitness from [that], but I stepped up my running too,” she explains. “I also had to remember how everyone plays the game,…

Just weeks after Woman’s Day revealed that former Olympic champion Ian Thorpe was anything but heartbroken after announcing he was ending his tumultuous relationship with his model boyfriend Ryan Channing, the business owner has taunted the famed swimmer by revealing he is planning to have a child without the 36-year-old. “It’s going ahead without Ian... [I’d love to] have a little boy,’ said the 29-year-old, who claimed to be “halfway  through the fertility process”. He adds, “I’m just about to choose my surrogate. I’m really excited to bring a child into the world next year.” The news will no doubt come as a blow to Ian, who had always hoped to have children but doubts over his and Ryan’s relationship meant he had to “put the idea of bringing children…

Concern is mounting for much-loved Aussie star Grant Denyer after the Celebrity Name Game host took to Instagram last week to reveal he is bedridden once more. “Me and [wife] Chezzi have both been crook as dogs,” Grant told fans before explaining he was a suffering a cryptosporidium infection of the bowel as a result of a parasite.

It follows a challenging 2019 that has seen the Denyers rushing to the emergency ward on several occasions. In March, Chezzi, 39, and the couple’s daughters Sailor, eight, and Scout,…

The South Australian fitness expert, 26, who famously promised to propose to Tori, 25, if he made it up the wall on Australian Ninja Warrior, admits he was gutted when his attempts were repeatedly unsuccessful. “I was absolutely devastated,” says Nathan. “I felt like it was something so stupid that I fell on [in that final round] and it played in my head for so long afterwards.” Nathan was so sure he’d make it, he hadn’t even considered a Plan B for popping the question to Tori. “It was super frustrating,”…

Full, subtly-shaped brows and luscious lashes have a natural framing and lifting effect. But as anyone who plucked to oblivion in the ’90s knows, brows can become notoriously patchy. To fill the gap, there are an array of daily groomers, including pencils, powders, gels and ever-evolving mascaras, as well as semi-permanent options that can help.

Les Norton SUNDAY 8.30PM, ABC Anyone who remembers the ’80s will absolutely love this new comedy/drama, based on the bestselling novels by Robert G Barrett.

When British national treasure Emma Thompson was spotted dancing down the street after a boozy lunch in London, eyebrows were raised. What shenanigans was the Late Night actress up to and, more intriguingly, who was she with? It turns out the 60-year-old’s partner in crime was none other than Aussie comedian Hannah Gadsby, and judging from the photos, they had a hoot hanging out together! Sources reveal to Woman’s Day several bottles of wine were behind the jovial jaunt that saw Emma and Hannah, 41, leaving The Holly Bush pub on July 16 arm in arm. “The more they drank, the funnier everything became,” says a pub patron. “They clearly get on like a house on fire. They were hilarious.” So could there be an Emma-Hannah collaboration on the…

The famed former TV host’s health has sharply declined in the past three months, leaving close friends extremely worried about Bert, who has been struggling to overcome a form of anaemia so severe it can leave him unable to stand up. “He is very weak, very frail and he’s ailing at an alarming rate,” revealed one family friend. “Patti doesn’t even like to leave him alone for more than a couple of hours. She’s been out of her mind with worry for weeks. That’s the real reason she didn’t go to the TV WEEK Logies…
