Mrs Muller’s book was released in May selling more than 750 copies.
So popular was the book, which includes many of Mrs Muller’s legendary recipes, that a second print run had to be quickly organised.
“I never expected it to be this popular,” said the 91-year-old.
“The family urged me for many years to put my recipes into print.
“Never in a million years did I think there would be this much interest.
“It’s astounding.”
Another 1000 copies of My Favourite Recipes have been printed and will be available for sale from this Wednesday, August 3.
Copies cost $20 and will be available at the St Vincent de Paul stores in Nowra and Culburra Beach.
Mrs Muller will also be undertaking a special signing session at the Nowra store on Wednesday from 10.30am to 11.30 am and again on Thursday afternoon from 2pm to 3.30pm.
Vinnies’ centre supervisor Tina Hill said 200-300 copies of the book had already been pre-ordered.
“The response has been incredible,” she said.
“Everyone wants to get a copy of Voni’s legendary recipes. I don’t expect this run to last long either.”
Mrs Muller thanked everyone for their support with the book, especially her daughter Cathy Rodden and her husband Peter and her granddaughter Alicia Grant and her husband Pat who had done a lot of work producing the book.
Again all money raised from the sale of the books will be donated to the St Vincent de Paul Society.
