The traditional French toast with just sugar and cinnamon is wonderful enough, but adding bananas, ricotta, honey and macadamias can only make it just that much better.

RICE VEGETABLE PIE
I found this recipe in the collection and thought it would make a very hearty vegetarian dish and then realised it would also work as a gluten free dish. The rice/egg/parsley base is a good substitute for flour based pastry.
MINI VEGIE AND CHEESE FRITTATAS
It’s Grand Prix weekend here in Melbourne this weekend. My husband is a F1 fan and we not only go to the race here every year, but also have been lucky enough to go to several races overseas. As you’d expect the food on sale at the track varies from country to country. So far, unsurprisingly, Italy has had the best. Here in Melbourne it’s all pretty much heavy duty fried things so I usually take a lighter lunch for us. Tomorrow I’m making these Frittatas to take……..
CORN AND POTATO PIE
The cheesy pastry base in this recipe is filled with mashed potato, bacon, spring onions, creamed corn and more cheese, which sounds like a great combination. It doesn’t say so, but I’m assuming they mean for you to heat it hot, although cold the next day might be interesting as well.
CHEESY VEGETABLE PIE
Seems like when Mum tore this out of the Woman’s Day she missed the last few lines so has handwritten them on the bottom. Her instructions read “other half 27cm” and “over with pastry. 200o C, 400oF – 40 mins”. I’ll add my comments – that this could be a hearty pie for vegetarians by simply substituting the bacon for extra vegetables.
SALMON PIZZA
Salmon topping on a pizza might not be everyone’s favourite, but for salmon lovers this recipe from the John West people would be a real treat.
SAVORY ROULADES with Ham & Corn, Creamed Chicken and Smoked Salmon fillings
Mum must have cut this recipe pretty roughly from the The Sun newspaper, her breakfast time reading every morning. It’s missing a small section, but I think you can work out the ham and corn filling without it. I’ve never made a roulade using potato, but it would make a nice firm base and Nancy Baldwin’s instruction are very helpful.
SAUSAGES IN OVERCOATS
I think you’re supposed to make these for kids parties, but with a bit of luck there’s some left over for the adults. They’re best using cocktail frankfurts, but you can use chipolata sausages if you prefer.
CHEESE & ONION PIE
This could be a good one for the vegetarians. If you cheated and used store bought pastry instead of making your own, this would be a really quick and easy pie to make.
CRUSTLESS HAM AND POTATO SLICE
This recipe reminds me of the Sunday night teas that Mum used to make. They were always something quick and easy to make that could be eaten with a fork while watching TV, that new fangled miracle that came into our lives after the 1956 Melbourne Olympic games.
