BOUNTY DAY PIE

Posted on May 11, 2020 by bebsrecipes

So what is a Bounty Day pie you’re asking……well according to Wikipedia…. ‘Bounty Day is a holiday on both Pitcairn Island, destination of the Bounty mutineers, and on Norfolk Island. It is celebrated on 23 January on Pitcairn, and on 8 June on Norfolk Island, the day that the descendants of the mutineers arrived on the island’. I guess this is a pie they make to celebrate the day, although it does seem fairly similar to a Greek beef and spinach pie – don’t suppose it matters what you call it, as long as it tastes good.

FRENCH ONION PIE

This onion pie is pretty easy to make, except perhaps for the onion chopping, and would be great hot or cold for lunch or dinner.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

Posted on April 2, 2020 by bebsrecipes

I suspect it’s the peppermint crisps, the crunchie bars or whatever chocolate treat you feel like adding that will be the main appeal of this ice cream for the kids. Even so it’s something they can make themselves, although I doubt all 3 bars will make it into the mix.

PLUM CRUMBLE – Unbaked

Posted on March 8, 2020 by bebsrecipes

A traditional fruit crumble pudding is baked and that gives it a crisp top, but this Plum Crumble is a bit different. After cooking the plums you toast the oats and nuts and serve them on top of the plums with the apple and honey sauce poured over.

PEA SALAD

Posted on February 29, 2020 by bebsrecipes

Not everyone in my family likes peas, so I won’t be making this for them, but for those who do it’s certainly a different way to eat them. Not sure I like the idea of the sultanas though, think I’d substitute capsicum or tomato to make it more savoury.

VEGETARIAN RICE RISSOLES

Posted on February 11, 2020 by bebsrecipes

I always think of rissoles of being yummy meaty balls, but this recipe is a very different style of rissole. You can add tuna or salmon if you wish, but just a few other vegies would work just as well and either way it’s a budget meal.

NO-BAKE BISCUIT COFFEE CAKE

Posted on February 2, 2020 by bebsrecipes

Chocolate Ripple cakes were a very popular dessert in the 70s and 80s. This recipe is similar, sweet biscuits layered with cream, although in this case you dip the biscuits in coffee to add some flavour to the plainer biscuits. Both are a great ‘make the day before’ desserts.

SAVOURY CHICKEN SHAPES

Posted on January 26, 2020 by bebsrecipes

I started making these little biscuits to have with pre-dinner drinks years ago. I also make cheese ones, but the chicken flavour in these makes them a bit different. They can be made in advance and the roll frozen Then all you need to do is slice them and bake them when needed.

PUMPKIN DAMPER

Posted on January 19, 2020 by bebsrecipes

Not sure you can get much more Australian than damper, especially if you serve it with a lamb stew. Originally it was a simple flour and water mix baked over a campfire, now recipes like this one have gone a step further using wholemeal flour, cinnamon and pumpkin. It still goes well with lamb though.

CHRISTMAS ICE CREAM ROLL

Posted on December 15, 2019 by bebsrecipes

Looking for something entirely different to serve as dessert on Christmas Day – this Ice Cream Roll could be the answer. No steaming or cooking needed, just some assembly and the Herald Sun cooking page kindly supplied photos (sadly in black and white) showing how to do it.
