Over the summer we all get a little tired of barbecued chicken, this oven cooked tomato herb chicken makes a change and when served with a salad is still light and summery.

INDIVIDUAL CORN QUICHES
I think the combination of salami, sweet corn, bacon, tomato and onion makes these little quiches very tasty. They’re great to pop into a lunch box or to take out on a picnic.
SALMON & DILL QUICHE
Red salmon and sour cream are a great combination and this quiche served with salad would be really nice on a hot summer day. Enjoy!
ITALIAN CROSTOLI FRITTERS
It always surprises me with these recipes of Mum’s, I think that a dish is new and modern and then I find a handwritten or printed recipe from years back. While Italians have been eating crostoli for generations when Mum cut this recipe out back in 1994 it must have seemed quite new to her.
FAYE’S FRUIT CAKE
The wholemeal flour in this fruit cake means that this isn’t at a traditional Fruit Cake, but it has heap of flavour and is nice and quick to make.
CHRISTMAS ICE CREAM BASKETS
The combination of a crisp, crunchy brandy snap basket, fruit mince and ice cream makes this a winner. Especially as you buy the ingredients and just assemble it – a nice and easy Christmas treat.
INDIVIDUAL SAGO PLUM PUDDINGS
Christmas Mincemeat doesn’t have meat it and Plum Puddings don’t have plums in them – makes you wonder how these dishes got their names, doesn’t it. This year I’ve decided not to make a large Christmas Pudding I think I’ll make individual puddings instead. This old recipe uses sago, you can substitute tapioca if you need to.
CHRISTMAS MINCEMEAT
I’ve always wondered why this is called Mincemeat when it obviously doesn’t have any meat in it, but as you can see from this very old recipe it’s been called that for a long time. Mum used to make a batch each Christmas for her fruit mince pies and while buying them from the supermarket is not a lot easier now, they somehow don’t have the same flavor.
CASSATA CHRISTMAS PUDDING
The easy way to make a Frozen Christmas Pudding is just to soak fruit in brandy and stir it through softened bought ice cream and then re-freeze it. While this recipe does use bought ice cream it takes the frozen pudding concept a bit further by separating the three colors in neopolitan ice cream adding cake and Marsala soaked fruit which turns it into a Cassata Christmas Pudding. Now I’ve found it in Mum’s collection I’m thinking of making it myself this Christmas.
FROZEN CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS PUDDING
This is another version of a Frozen Christmas Pudding. With this one you add the melted chocolate to the mix instead of coating the pudding with chocolate and so end up with chocolate ice cream. That sounds good as does the idea of serving it in brandy baskets.
