Next time you’re thinking of cooking up some chicken wings for a large gathering, you might like to try this version. The onion, apricot nectar, French onion soup and soy sauce make a great sticky sauce for them.

HOT TAMALE PIE
It’s easy to think that International dishes are something that are new to our food scene, but that’s not the case. When I look back at my old 1970s cookbooks there’s a whole section on International food and Mum was cautiously trying out different recipes before that. This Mexican Tamale Pie recipe was published by the New Idea in 1980 and is just as good today as it was then.
HERBED SURPRISE EGGS
I haven’t tried these out yet myself, but it’s certainly a different way to cook eggs and rice. It suggests serving them as an entrée or light luncheon, but I think they’d also be an excellent fancy breakfast dish as well – maybe a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day treat.
CHICKEN STROGANOFF
I think I should have given this the title Cheat’s Chicken Stroganoff, because it definitely isn’t the traditional way to make it. This is a tasty quick and easy version. Ideal for those nights when you don’t have too much time and just want to get a meal on the table.
HUNGARIAN PANCAKE PIE
This is definitely not just pancakes with a sweet topping – as it says it’s a superb dessert. Layers of pancake, jam and chocolate, nuts and raisins and cream. All covered in toasted meringue and served up in wedges like a cake. Definitely not for those on a diet………..
POTATO CROQUETTES
The suggestion is to serve these with casseroles, fish or poultry, but I think serving them as an easy meal or instead of chips with a hamburger would be pretty delicious too.
DOUBLE CRUST APPLE AND HONEY PECAN PIE
This recipe comes from the back of a pack of Puff Pastry sheets. Of course you can make your own pastry, but really who has time for that, especially when the bought product is so good. Which leaves the biggest job to be the peeling, coring and slicing of the apples. Definitely worth the effort if you end up with a great pie like the one in the picture.
CHRISTMAS TOASTED NUT CASSATA
I’ve been searching through the recipes this year looking for an interesting alternative to a plum pudding for Christmas Day. I’ve discovered that there’s lots and lots of alternatives including this Toasted Nut Cassata, which has fruits, nuts and brandy – all the good ingredients of a Christmas pudding. Haven’t decided yet if I’ll go with it, but it’s definitely a contender.
PEACHY CRISP
There’s lots of different fruit dishes with a crumble-type topping, but I think this one is slightly different with its combination of tinned peaches and fresh pineapple. If you have the luxury of lots of fresh peaches you could use poached ones instead of tinned, that would definitely make it even better.
PEAR OATMEAL CRISP
How about a pear crumble instead of the traditional apple crumble? Pears are in season now and are a reasonable price, so why not try this luscious dessert before the weather heats up and our thoughts turn to fruit salad and ice cream.
