This is a really simple and easy topping for lovely toasted waffles.

MILLIONAIRE’S SHORTBREAD
This is really just a baked caramel slice with a chocolate topping, but it’s a great name for it, isn’t it?
CREAMED CABBAGE
My husband loves cabbage so I use it in stir fries, cook it with butter and bacon and basically add it to anything I think it will go with, but I must admit I do have trouble finding interesting way to prepare it. Found this recipe in Mum’s collection and think I’ll try it out on him, it certainly is different.
PEAR AND CARAMEL PUDDINGS
I like the idea of these puddings as you could prepare them up to the baking stage and then put them in the oven just before you’re ready for dessert. If you don’t like using tinned pears you could poach some fresh pears. I think might actually be really nicer.
CHICKEN PIE
This is another recipe from the Women’s Week Let’s Go Greek supplement. It uses fillo pastry, but you could change that to shortcrust or puff if you wanted to. The fillo would be lighter, but the others would still make a good pie.
BEEF AND BURGUNDY PIE
I suppose this pie recipe should now be called Beef and Red Wine Pie, but as this recipe was published back in the ’70s before the labelling laws changed and only wine from the Burgundy region of France could be called that, I think I can leave it as Burgundy. I don’t think it matters too much which grape variety of red wine you use for the recipe, but it should be wine that’s worth drinking and of course a good cook should always sample it before adding it!!!!!!
MANDARIN TART
As mandarins are now in season I thought it was worth sharing this recipe. Using a ready made pastry case or creating one with pastry sheets would make this as it says ‘a quick dessert for the family’ also for visitors I reckon.
CREAMY POTATO AND CELERY SOUP
With the emergence of celeriac as a popular vegetable, celery is often now overlooked. The two are different vegetables although from the same family. Celeriac is not the root of the vegetable you buy called celery, it is a plant cultivated for its root or base instead of for its stalk or leaves like celery. Sadly I think celery is now very overlooked. I use it in salads, casseroles and it’s great with cheese, but had forgotten about using it as a main element of soup until I found this recipe. Try it and see what you think…………. (You could substitute rice or risoni for the sago.)
COFFEE MOUSSE CAKE
This recipe from the Women’s Weekly looks luscious. I’m always looking for recipes that you can make the day before an event, it just makes the workload on the day itself that much easier. I think this one would be a good one to try.
BEEF AND POTATO PAN PIE
I like the sound of this – steak, onion, mushroom and red wine topped with potato, don’t think you can go wrong with that combination. I would suggest though that if you don’t have an ovenproof pan it would be better to transfer the meat to an casserole dish as I don’t think the potato cook all the way through under the grill.
