This meatloaf is a bit of a change from the standard mince steak/sausage meat combination. It has a sweet curry flavour which makes it just that bit different and it’s good hot or cold.

PORK WITH CARAMELISED APPLE
It’s autumn and apples are appearing back on the shelves, so I thought it was time to post a recipe that included them. Pork and apple have always gone together and I think this recipe that Mum cut out of the Herald Sun looks like a great way to combine the two.
MUSHROOM, SPINACH & FETA QUICHE
This is another no-pastry quiche which Mum collected from the New Idea. I’m not sure what the difference between a quiche without pastry and a frittata is. I suspect it’s just the country it’s made in – Quiche, Australia – Frittata, Italy. What do you think?
TEA CAKE
I’ve always thought that a Tea Cake was a cake which can be made quickly just before visitors arrive and eaten fresh and warm with a cup of tea or coffee. Cakes made like this don’t keep well and are really best eaten the day their made.
TEA CAKE
- 1 large cup self raising flour
- 2 tablespoons custard powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons soft margarine
- ½ cup milk
Beat on high speed 3-4 minutes. Place mixture in large cake tin (200ml). Bake moderate oven 180o for about 30 minutes. Turn out while still hot and spread with butter. Mix together 2 teaspoons coconut, 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and spread on cake.
BANANA WHIP ICE CREAM
Some people might argue that this is a summer recipe, but others, like my father, would disagree. He enjoyed a bowl of ice cream every night – summer or winter.
CHOCOLATE CHEESE BROWNIES
Here’s another of Mum’s pinned together recipes. If I’d realised that there was a cellotape shortage in her kitchen I would have donated a couple of rolls to her bottom drawer. I guess at least the pins kept the recipes together and saved pieces getting lost. If that had happened we’d never have had this Chocolate Cheese Brownie recipe to enjoy.
DUTCH TART
I have no idea how this got the name ‘Dutch’ tart, it’s one of the mysteries of Mum’s old recipes. It’s made in a swiss roll tin, a tray that has slightly raised edges (about 2 to 3cm deep) and has dimensions of roughly 23 x 33xm, so it’s hardly a tart, more of a slice really, but who can argue with their Mother….
DUTCH TART
Rub 60g butter into 1 cup plain flour. Mix to a stiff paste with milk. Roll out to fit swiss roll tin. Spread with raspberry jam. Top with cake mixture.
Cake mixture: 5 tablespoons butter, ½ cup sugar, 1 cup self raising flour, ½ cup milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon mixed spice, 1 tablespoon chopped dates, 1 tablespoon sultanas, 2 tablespoons walnuts. Cream butter & sugar. Add sifted flour and spices, mix in dried fruits and walnuts and milk. Spread on top of pastry. Bake moderate oven 180o for 30 mins. When cool spread over lemon icing.
PADDY’S PIE
With a name like this it had to be a potato pie, didn’t it? My first thought was that this would make a good Sunday night family tea, but I’ve now decided that slices would be good served up with a roast or b-b-que. Either way I think it would be a winner.
CHOCOLATE CUSTARD SLICE
Back in the 80s these type of slices were quite common. You baked the base, added a filling and then a chocolate topping. The trick was to add a little butter to the melted chocolate otherwise the topping cracked when you cut it. I think the custard filling in this one is a bit different and would taste quite good.
PINWHEELS
You can make these to go with pre-dinner drinks, for a picnic, for a party or as a supper dish. They’re great hot or cold and that makes them very versatile.
