This is a quick and easy vegetable only dish and would be great if you’re looking for a meat free night or something to serve vegetarian friends. Of course, you could also serve it alongside a juicy steak or lamb chops………..
In Mum’s time lamb was a cheap and tasty meat to use, but with the cost of racks of lamb at what they are today if you’re going to cook them you might just as well push the boat out and add a great topping. I don’t think you can go wrong with this mustard, garlic and soy sauce combo spread on top.
Seems like when Mum tore this out of the Woman’s Day she missed the last few lines so has handwritten them on the bottom. Her instructions read “other half 27cm” and “over with pastry. 200o C, 400oF – 40 mins”. I’ll add my comments – that this could be a hearty pie for vegetarians by simply substituting the bacon for extra vegetables.
Wish I’d found this recipe before my daughter and I worked out the savories to serve at my husband’s recent 70th birthday party. She ended up making some wonderful treats, but these might have been an easy addition.
It’s turning into a long, hot Australian summer, so what better time to make ice cream. I reckon Mum read this recipe on the label of a can of Nestle Sweetened Condensed Milk, thought it sounded good and decided to make it for Dad.
The beauty of all the different varieties of lasagne is that they can be prepared in advance and cooked when needed. This is the first time though I’ve seen a salmon version. I have a recipe for another seafood one which I make using marinara mix I buy from the supermarket and that tastes pretty good, so this one could be worth trying.
Mum chopped this recipe off the back of a packet of Sunrice. The packet has a use by date of 15 Apr 2005 so it’s a fairly recent recipe as far as her collection goes. The tomato pasta sauce also gives it’s age away.
This is a modern version of the old Hedgehog recipe which only has walnuts added to the biscuits, cocoa and eggs. A couple of tablespoons of rum, pecans and sultanas would certainly step it up a bit.
Recipe five in Scone Week is this much more unusual one. It’s really a cross between a scone and a fruit scroll, unusual but delicious.
Recipe three in Scone Week – Silvana’s Rough-Topped Scones. The ratios between flour, butter and cream seem a lot higher than in a basic scone. I must admit I’m a bit dubious about the recipe, but obviously they must have worked for Silvana (whoever she may be).
