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.
HAM CRESCENTS
Having made egg and bacon pies and pasties over the past few weeks I still have a couple of sheets of pastry left in the freezer to use up. Might make these to have with Australia Day drinks, but I think I’ll add a little bit of Swiss cheese for extra flavour.
PICNIC MEAT LOAF
My family have always loved this version of a meat loaf – the eggs make the difference. I also make smaller versions for when just my husband and I are going on a picnic or for lunch on the first day of an interstate trip.
DILL SALMON LOAF with Piquant Yoghurt Sauce
With Christmas on the horizon I’m starting to look for recipes that will work on the big day. I think this salmon loaf would make a great starter. You could make it the day before and serve it cold with the yoghurt sauce and a light salad.
1980s PARTY FINGER FOOD – Pate, Spicy Chicken Wings, Meat Balls, Lemony Almond Scallops, Prunes and Bacon, Cheese and Salami Savouries
With Mum’s 100th birthday only a couple of months away I’ve started to look for party recipes. I found these microwave recipes which were published by The Sun in March 1986 around the time everyone was buying a microwave, but still not quite sure what to do with it. I’m not sure I’d use my microwave to cook them today though, as I think we’ve now figured out what works and what doesn’t in it.
CUSTARD TEA CAKE
I haven’t made one of these cakes for years. It might sound a bit odd at first, but think Bee Sting Cake (Bienenstich) without the honey and nut topping and you have the idea.
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.
GERMAN PLUM CAKE
This is makes a great dessert served warm or cold with lashings of cream or ice cream.
FARMERS SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
The only part of this recipe that I’m unsure of is the packet of hearty beef soup. It does say you can substitute a can of condensed hearty beef soup, but I’m not sure that beef stock and extra vegetables, carrots or celery, mightn’t be a better way to go.
