My husband would say that nothing you can add to rhubarb could make it taste any better, but Mum and Dad enjoyed a bowl of stewed rhubarb with custard or ice cream and she must have thought this recipe would be a nice change. Obviously she couldn’t find the scissors to cut it out, I think it’s just lucky she didn’t rip through through more of it.
Here’s another recipe from the Pampas Pastry Finger Food Recipe sheet. I can imagine a glass of bubbly in one hand and one of these in the other – a great way to start a party off I reckon.
I’m absolutely sure that when Mum saved the Pampas pastry leaflet that this recipe comes from she had no idea one of her great grand daughters would be having Nutella on her toast whenever she comes to stay with us. Mum also would never have expected to be able to buy Nutella pizzas, donuts, cheesecakes, etc. It’s a great example of how things have changed in the last 30 years…….
Among Mum’s recipe collection I’ve found a great sheet put out by the Pampas pastry people. It has lots of Finger Food Recipes so I thought with Christmas entertaining fast approaching I’d share some of them with you. Pinwheels can be made with a variety of fillings, but I think this pizza one will appeal to kids of all ages.
Did swagmen really make this out in the bush? I have no idea, but even if they didn’t it still makes a great hearty meal for the family. If you want you can easily add potato or other vegetables and I’d recommend leaving the meat mixture to cool a little before you put it on the puff pastry as hot meat will make the pastry soft and harder to handle.
Today, September 1st, is the first day of Spring in Australia so it seems fitting to post a recipe that is a side dish to have at a backyard barbecue. A good time as well to hope for lovely barbecuing weather in the months to come.
I’ve no idea who Bev is or what makes this plum cake famous, but as it says it looks simple and delicious and you can’t ask for more than that.
I like the sound of this mustard sauce it would turn a bought barbecue chicken into a quick and interesting meal. Great to serve for an easy lunch or dinner for visitors.
I love Beef Wellington, but it’s a tricky thing to make so I usually leave it to the experts. This Salmon Wellington looks a lot easier and although the recipe uses tinned Red Salmon I don’t see why a nice piece of fresh salmon couldn’t be substituted.
I haven’t made this Treacle Tart, but it does look good. As the heading says the old original recipe would have used treacle, but this more ‘modern’ version replaces that with golden syrup. Quick and easy to make and luscious served with either whipped cream or custard, what’s not to like.
