This recipe is from a 1991 Woman’s Day Christmas Recipe zip-out. If you’re looking for a main course dish that isn’t pork, turkey or chicken this might work for you. Although really you could serve it any time of the year, not just at Christmas.
I came across this recipe the other day in one of my old cookbooks. I used to make it for dinner guests back in the day, but haven’t made it for a long, long time. Perhaps it’s time to revive it as all the old recipes seem to be coming back into fashion.
With it now officially Spring here in Melbourne, barbeque season isn’t far off so it’s probably time to dig out your salad recipes. This recipe has been around awhile, but still looks and tastes great.
Like most home cooks I have cakes of all description in my collection, but I confess that this is one of my favourites. I like it’s solid texture and light lemon flavour. I also like that it has just a dusting of icing sugar on top and when served with thick cream and a few strawberries tastes absolutely delicious.
I’m not sure which is the best part of this cake – the banana sour cream base or the wonderful chocolate frosting. Together they are pretty good combination though.
It’s still winter here in Melbourne, so it’s not too late to make this very hearty soup.
This is a very yummy slice. You only have to look at the ingredient list to work that out. Toblerone chocolate, marshmallows, almonds and cream………………yum.
This won’t be everyone’s favourite soup, but for those who like broccoli and blue cheese it’s a winner. It’s easy to make, looks and tastes good and is a great dinner party starter. Best to check if they like broccoli and blue cheese before you serve it up though!!!
Traditional Bubble and Squeak in our household has always been leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables fried up with an egg. This rice version is a little fancier. Although it says to bake the potatoes, kumara and carrots in the oven, I think I’d speed the process up a bit and just microwave them. You might lose a little flavour, but not enough to make much difference and it would be just that bit easier.
This recipe is one for my Nutella loving granddaughter. I’m sure lashings of Nutella and maybe for her, chocolate chips in place of the hazelnuts, will make it a total winner.
