This is a traditional South African dish and is basically a curried mince pie. The milk, bread cubes and egg give it a nice custard topping somewhat like moussaka.

COLD LEMON PUDDINGS
Individual lemon puddings that you can make for dessert before anyone arrives seem like a great idea to me. As I’ve said before, I like to spend as little time as I can in the kitchen once the visitors have arrived, so these seem perfect – although I would add a dollop of thick cream for serving.
PRAWNS WITH TOMATO SALSA
I’m a great believer in having as much cooking as possible done before the visitors arrive. This recipe was printed as part of ‘Do-ahead Dinner Party” menu and is a great idea. An easy to make overnight marinade, then a quick grill while the visitors are having a drink ………and ……… entree is served.
COCONUT GINGERBREAD
This is really more of a cake than the usual gingerbread. It’s the first time I’ve seen coconut added into gingerbread and it should make it lovely and moist.
MEATBALLS IN BEER SAUCE
I haven’t tried this, but as beef and beer works well in as a casserole can’t see why this combination wouldn’t taste good as well, especially with the sour cream added to the sauce.
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.
CARROT, WALNUT AND PINEAPPLE MUFFINS
Not sure these are muffins you’d make for the kid’s lunch boxes, but they’d be a stunner for visitors to have with coffee.
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.
SPICY ALMOND BREAD
I’ve made the usual almond bread many times as it always goes well with coffee after dinner, but this spicy version looks good and would work really well with a cheese platter.
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.
