I can’t decide if these are pancakes or patties as there doesn’t seem enough flour in them to make them pancakes. Don’t really think it matters though as it still a great way to eat vegetables.

PEACH RICE BAKE
Mum must have gone to some sort of Sun rice promotion as there is quite a few rice-based recipe sheets in her collection. Not many of them are desserts though. I thought this one might work well – rice, peaches, sultanas, honey and spices with a crumble topping smothered in either cream, custard or icecream definitely has some appeal.
CHILLI PLUM PORK
This isn’t a dish for my family as they don’t like recipes that have a meat and fruit combination, which is a shame as I think it would be worth trying. The chilli kick in the base and the coconut in the topping certainly add a lot of interest.
QUICK COCONUT SLICE
I don’t make as many biscuits and slices now as I did when my children were growing up. I have more time than I did back then, but the idea of a quick slice still has a lot of appeal and the combination of coconut and lemon is always a winner.
LITTLE SCOTCH EGG PIES
I’ve taken the liberty of renaming this recipe. I don’t think Little Muffin Pies gives any indication of what they actually are. The only muffin connection seems to be the muffin shape, which means that you could use any pie dish as long as it was deep enough to hold the mixture and stand the egg upright. I like the idea of biting into it and discovering the egg………….
SPICED BEEF POT ROAST
For some reason I always think of pot roasts as being American, but this recipe published in the 70s by the Australian Meat Board would seem to disprove that idea. I’ve never made a pot roast and since I found this recipe I’ve meaning to buy a piece of beef to give it a go. It’s just one of the many ‘treasures’ that Mum’s recipe drawer has uncovered and which I’m yet to cook.
CAPPACCINO BANANA CAKE
My apologies for the picture with this recipe, Mum cut the picture in half so it’s the best I could do. I thought it worth putting in to show the texture of the cake – the banana is quite chunky. That together with the wholemeal flour and coffee makes it quite a different banana cake.
LAYERED CHEESECAKE or SPICY CHEESE CAKE
Instead of the usual biscuit base this cheesecake has a cake mixture on the bottom and then another layer in between the cheese filling. Quite different, but simple to make.
PARMESAN EGG SCONEBREAD
Breakfast or Brunch? I’m not too sure when you should have these, but I am sure that they’ll taste good when you do. They come from a 1980s booklet put out by the Australian Diary Corporation which is introduced by the bearded chef, Peter Russell-Clarke. Beside having some great recipes the booklet describes cheeses from Cheddar through to Pecorino and has a chart of which wine to have with which cheese. It’s a great little booklet. (If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making scones, it could work on bread roll or a muffin.)
