There’s lots of different Meat Loaf recipes from fairly simple ones to ones filled with boiled eggs, prosciutto and other interesting ingredients. This one is the first one though that I’ve seen with a sauce that you pour over the loaf when it’s cooking and definitely the first one with coffee in the sauce. Something different to try.
Like all risottos this recipe requires some patient stirring, but the soft Arborio rice combined with chicken, mushrooms and peas makes it all worthwhile.
It’s very easy to over cook salmon and it then ends up dry and unappetizing. So just 15 minutes in the oven with the mayonnaise and crumb topping helps keep the fish nice and moist.
This is a very hearty dish. Lots of vegetables covered with a lovely parmesan cheese topped potato mash and it’s enough to feed the whole family.
I’ve never thought of combining a hamburger with a hot dog, but the people at Carnation Milk obviously did back around 1960s. Maybe it could be a new McDonalds meal……
This is what a curry looked like back in the 60s…..absolutely nothing like the much more complex and flavour filled ones of today. I particularly like the side dishes in the photo. Lemon slices, plain cashews, rice with sultanas are the ones I can recognize. Times certainly have changed and I don’t think I think it’s a dish you’d want to make now.
This recipe was put out in a little booklet by Mum’s bowls club. You can see I’ve amended it somewhat, as Mum and I both cooked them in the oven and not on the stovetop. They’re really tasty, easy to make and everyone loves them. Just don’t overcook them or you end up with a gluggy mess.
I’m not really sure about the name of this dish. I guess it’s a pie because it has a pastry base, but it has a sort of bouillabaisse filling topped with custard – a bit odd altogether. While I’m posting it here I haven’t actually made it. I think I’d better and possibly rename it as well…….
This recipe comes out of one of my pasta cookbooks. I already make a meat lasagne and a chicken lasagne, so a seafood one has to be on the list as well. Obviously buying good quality white fish, scallops and prawns would make an excellent dish, but you could also go for the cheaper option and buy a generous amount of marinara mix. It mightn’t be quite as good, but it would certainly be a bit more affordable.
Meatballs and pasta are a great combination and this is one of those recipes you can prepare beforehand. With a cooking time of only around 40 minutes you can put in the oven when the family or friends are almost ready to eat.
