There’s nothing gluten free or slimming with these jam spirals, but if you’re in the mood for some comfort food these will do the trick. Maybe a cold Sunday afternoon tea treat.

ITALIAN MEAT LOAVES
I recently made some gluten free mini meat loaves to take to the track for the Melbourne F1 GP. They had rice and curry in them and tasted quite good, but were a little dry. I wish I’d found this recipe though, as I think they’ll have a lot more flavour and can easily be GF if I use GF cereal. Maybe next year………
CHEWY COCONUT CHOC-CHIP COOKIES
Any biscuit recipe that starts with – combine the melted butter with the sugar in a bowl – makes me think it’s a great one for the kids to make. These with coconut, oats and choc-chips will keep them busy during the school holidays and feed them as well. That makes it a winner, doesn’t it?
HUNGARIAN PANCAKE PIE
This is definitely not just pancakes with a sweet topping – as it says it’s a superb dessert. Layers of pancake, jam and chocolate, nuts and raisins and cream. All covered in toasted meringue and served up in wedges like a cake. Definitely not for those on a diet………..
VEGETABLE PATTIES
These patties really are full of vegetables – pumpkin, bean shoots, zucchini and onion. Added to which is brown rice and cheese, all in all a hearty vegetarian dish. Not that light a lunch I would have thought.
HAMBURGERS IN JACKETS
This is a pretty simple way to jazz up the old hamburger, especially if you don’t want to serve it in a bun.
HOME BAKED HOT CROSS BUNS
Years ago I tried to make hot cross buns and they were really awful. As a result I’ve never been game to try them again. Maybe if I’d found this recipe with it’s helpful hints on using yeast I might have given them another go. I hope you have more success……..
RICOTTA TART
Unlike most pastries where you rub the butter into the flour, the pastry for this tart is made by beating the butter, sugar and water together then adding the flour – which is a little easier. Once the pastry has rested all you have to do is combine the filling ingredients and your tart is done. Except that is for arranging the strips in a lattice pattern over the top, perhaps the fiddliest bit, but well worth it for how terrific it looks when cooked.
TOMATO AND AVOCADO DIP – Gluten Free
If you’re a little tired of plain avocado dip, maybe giving this tomato version might be a good idea. As it says it makes a good size bowl and if you serve it with vegetables or gf biscuits it can be gluten free as well.
CHOCOLATE CHIFFON PIE
Wow – this recipe takes me back to 70s dinner parties when Brandy Alexander Pies, Grasshopper Pies and these Chocolate Chiffon Pies were all really popular. None of them were particularly hard to make and could be made in advance, so except for plating up there was nothing to do out in the kitchen while the guests were at the table. The work was done and you could enjoy yourself……
