I can’t decide if this is a cake or a dessert. Maybe it can be either. I haven’t made it yet, but from the picture and the list of ingredients, it looks really good so I think I’ll be giving it a go.

STEAK AND PINEAPPLE DELIGHT CASSEROLE
I often cook steak and French onion soup wrapped in foil and baked, so the idea of putting these two ingredients together isn’t all that strange to me, but the addition of pineapple……I’m not that sure about. I guess it would work and the sauce should be quite good, especially if you serve it with mashed potato. Worth a try?
GOLDEN SYRUP AND WALNUT PUDDING
It’s been a cold, miserable week here in Melbourne. Between the rain, damaging winds and lockdown No. 4 the only thing that’s kept a lot of us going is planning and cooking yummy food. Lockdown has ended, but winter’s only just beginning. Hopefully this hearty, old fashioned pudding will help in the cold days ahead.
ZUCCHINI & NOODLE SOUP
This is really a basic zucchini soup. The difference is the addition of 2-minute noodles, which it says to put in before you blend. I think it would be much nicer if you add the noodles after blending – what do you think?
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE
The blurb that goes went with this recipe from the Herald Sun cooking page says the recipe was given to the contributor by an American Rotary Exchange student and that it’s simple, sinful and cooks up fudgy and fantastic. I can imagine that’s all true, but I think it should also have added that it’s definitely only for chocolate lovers……
CANTALOUP/ROCKMELON AND STRAWBERRY DESSERT
Cantaloup or Rockmelon, what do you call it? As a Victorian I call it cantaloup, but my husband a New South Welshman calls it rockmelon. It doesn’t matter what you call it, it tastes good and combined with strawberries and cream makes a cool and simple summer dessert.
TARTUFO ICE CREAM CHRISTMAS PUDDING
The frozen Christmas pudding I usually make has an ice cream base. This one is a little bit different, it still has decadent brandy soaked fruit, but also has lashings of cream, some white chocolate and meringue. I’ve already made a boiled pudding for this year, but think I might give this one a go next year.
POTATO PUFF
If you’re looking for a different way to serve mashed potatoes this might be the answer. I think it would be pretty good hot, but do like the idea of frying the leftovers……yum.
CHOC-PEPPERMINT SLICE
You can tell this is an old fashioned slice because of the copha in the filling. Copha was used a lot back in the 70s and 80s, but seems to have gone out of favour these days. Not everyone likes the taste, but in this slice, at least, the peppermint, chocolate and coconut mask it and you end up with a great slice.
SPICY PUMPKIN PUFF
You could make this pumpkin dish for lunch or serve it with a roast or other main course, whichever way it’s a great way to add a bit of interest to the plain old pumpkin.
