Marcia Noble loves cooking and she has her school to thank for her lessons in the art of food preparation.
“We had domestic science when I went to school,” she said.
“We had two years of it and we learnt to cook there, but my mother encouraged me with it.
“They taught us how to cook meals, cakes and biscuits.”
Ms Noble said she loves cooking and loves doing it for charity with the Oura branch of the Country Women’s Association.
“Passionfruit slice is one of my favourite things to cook and I just love slices,” she said.
“All ovens are different, mine is a bit hotter on one side so it’s difficult for cakes but good for slices/”
