Another dessert recipe for banana lovers. I don’t think you can go wrong with this cream cheese, banana and filo pastry combination, especially when dusted with icing sugar………yumm.

VEGETARIAN RICE RISSOLES
I always think of rissoles of being yummy meaty balls, but this recipe is a very different style of rissole. You can add tuna or salmon if you wish, but just a few other vegies would work just as well and either way it’s a budget meal.
SLICED EGGS IN CREAM SAUCE – Eggs-a-la-tripe
Or in French, Oeufs a la tripe………. I think it’s been translated without the word tripe in the title as, if you’re like me, that conjures up quite unpleasant childhood memories of a flabby, tasteless blob covered in white sauce. I’d much prefer this variety, although I think a bit of cheese, maybe gruyere, would make it even better.
NO-BAKE BISCUIT COFFEE CAKE
Chocolate Ripple cakes were a very popular dessert in the 70s and 80s. This recipe is similar, sweet biscuits layered with cream, although in this case you dip the biscuits in coffee to add some flavour to the plainer biscuits. Both are a great ‘make the day before’ desserts.
FEDERATION CHICKEN SALAD
This creamy chicken salad has a light curry flavour and is especially good made with a barbecued chicken. I’m not sure that I’d serve it on a fruit platter, as we’re not all that keen on fruit with meat. I’d serve it in a salad bowl with a green salad accompaniment and maybe throw in a handful of toasted almonds, but however you serve it it makes a change from plain old cold chicken.
CRAB APPETIZERS – Cheese Crab Toasts/Crab and Cucumber Bites
Looking for something new to put out with drinks for visitors? Maybe these crab toasts and bites from that I found on a John West pamphlet might work for you. They’re both quick and easy to make and look pretty good as well.
SAVOURY CHICKEN SHAPES
I started making these little biscuits to have with pre-dinner drinks years ago. I also make cheese ones, but the chicken flavour in these makes them a bit different. They can be made in advance and the roll frozen Then all you need to do is slice them and bake them when needed.
CREAM CHEESE FILLED PEACHES
It’s summer so that means stone fruit are back on the shelves. Fresh juicy peaches are always delicious, but this cream cheese filled and baked dessert is a luscious way to enjoy them.
CHOKO CHUTNEY
My husband was brought up in Sydney and chokos hold a special place in his childhood memory – not a good one. Back then choko vines grew in many Sydney and Queensland backyards. My husband’s Irish grandmother, who had emigrated to Australia with her family in 1901 and settled in Queensland, loved them and used to send him around the neighbourhood collecting them. She would boil them and serve them with a white sauce. He said they were totally tasteless and hated them. I don’t know if she used them to make chutney, but this recipe might have made them taste a bit better.
PUMPKIN DAMPER
Not sure you can get much more Australian than damper, especially if you serve it with a lamb stew. Originally it was a simple flour and water mix baked over a campfire, now recipes like this one have gone a step further using wholemeal flour, cinnamon and pumpkin. It still goes well with lamb though.
