I’m not sure I could make these potatoes look quite as neat as they have in the photo, but it’s always handy to have a good potato dish to serve with a roast or a b-b-que and this does look very good.

VEGETABLE DAMPER
The original Australian bush damper was just flour and water mixed together and cooked over an open fire. This version has a bit more to it than that and a lot more flavour.
APPLE CRUMBLE
My guess is that this recipe was one of the original ones Mum started out with after she married in 1941. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came from my paternal grandmother, who Mum lived with while Dad was overseas in the airforce during WW2. The piece of paper looks very well used.
APPLE CRUMBLE
- ½ cup of Self Raising Flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut
- 1 tablespoon butter
Mix together to make the crumble. Cook apples, let cool and put crumble on top. Bake in a moderate oven 180o until the crumble is brown, about 30 mins.
CHICKEN & MUSHROOM SAUTE
I think this was one of the first dinner party dishes I made after I got married. It was quite modern then with the wine, garlic, oregano and peppers and tasted great. I’m not sure where I got the recipe from, but I can see from the typing that I typed it up on a manual typewriter, probably at work, and here I am posting it on the internet – how the world has changed!!!! It served me well all those years ago, but I haven’t made it for awhile. Perhaps it’s time to give it another go.
MALLEE QUICHE
This recipe gets it’s name from the Mallee District an area in north west Victoria, but over the years I’ve seen it with lots of other names including Impossible Pie and Zuccchini slice. I suppose it’s an Australian version of a frittata, the Italian crustless quiche to which a variety of meat and vegetables are added. It’s a nice easy meal and if you make this version you’ll feel very Australian.
NO BAKE PARTY CAKE
I found this unusual birthday cake recipe among Mum’s Herald Sun cutouts. She must have been quite taken with it as she cut out around the picture, although I’m sure she never made it. I really wish it was printed in colour as it must look quite good with the red, yellow and green jelly cubes inside. Not quite sure what it would taste like though, but if you’re looking for a kids cake you don’t have to spend hours decorating this might work for you….
RICOTTA LOVE CAKE
Mum collected this recipe from the Herald Sun cooking page, Checkout. The note with it says it was sent in by a lady from New Jersey in America. Just shows how even before the internet recipes were shared around the world.
CHICKEN & VEGETABLE PATTIES
These patties look very tasty and could be a good way of “hiding” a few vegies from the kids.
RICE & CHICKEN CAKE
I like the little note that Mum’s written on the top of this cutting – Like a Quiche – which suggests she either made it herself or it was made by someone else and she liked it. It does seem to have a strange combination of ingredients, especially the cabbage, but it could be worth a try.
MARS BAR SLICE
These are a step up from the usual Chocolate Crackles – extra luscious!!!!
