ASPARAGUS OR LEEKS WITH PARMESAN

Posted on September 30, 2016 by bebsrecipes

I love it when asparagus comes back into season each Spring and enjoy eating it as a vegetable, in salads and in stir fries, but I think served like this it would make a terrific first course. Mum and Dad both loved asparagus so I can see why Mum cut this recipe from the Herald Sun. The leek version sound good as well. Neither of Mum or Dad were wine drinkers though and I doubt they’d ever head of the matched Chateau Tahbilk Marsanne wine. I guess if you could get a bottle of the 1999 vintage for $13 now you’d be doing very well.

GINGER CREAM SQUARES

Posted on September 22, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This dessert recipe from the New Idea is an interesting take on the old chocolate ripe cake from the ’60s. Not sure you’d get away with it only costing $3.50 to make these days, but it would still be an economical dessert for 6 people.

CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKE SLICE

Posted on September 15, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This is a yummy slice combining cornflakes, coconut, sugar and chocolate. It comes from the Australian Women’s Weekly and I particularly like the Cook’s Note at the end about how to use a sandwich bag for piping the chocolate on the top. A great tip.

CHOC HEDGEHOG

Posted on August 25, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This is a more upmarket version of the old hedgehog recipe which was traditionally made with Marie biscuits. This recipe substitutes sponge fingers for the biscuits, dark chocolate for the cocoa powder and also adds in almonds and cashews. Much fancier altogether and I’m guessing much more delicious.

NEW ORLEANS BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON

Posted on August 4, 2016 by bebsrecipes

To be honest I can’t imagine why Mum would have cut out and saved this recipe. I doubt she’s ever tasted bourbon in her life and while she likes a glass of sherry or white wine, I’ve never seen her drink either brandy, cognac or whisky. She does like and often used to make the old style bread and butter pudding, maybe she thought one day she’d go wild…..

FIGGY PUDDING

This recipe could be renamed Sticky Fig Pudding as it’s just a take on a Sticky Date Pudding. It uses dried figs instead of dried dates and looks delicious.

PECAN PIE

Posted on June 30, 2016 by bebsrecipes

Pecan nuts weren’t something that Mum cooked with as I’m pretty sure that they weren’t easily available back when she did her most of her cooking. Although she kept this recipe I doubt that she ever actually made it. I think pecans work really well in a pie, especially when you serve it up with a big blob of cream.

MUSHROOM, SPINACH & FETA QUICHE

Posted on March 19, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This is another no-pastry quiche which Mum collected from the New Idea. I’m not sure what the difference between a quiche without pastry and a frittata is. I suspect it’s just the country it’s made in – Quiche, Australia – Frittata, Italy. What do you think?

RICE & CHICKEN CAKE

Posted on February 11, 2016 by bebsrecipes

I like the little note that Mum’s written on the top of this cutting – Like a Quiche – which suggests she either made it herself or it was made by someone else and she liked it. It does seem to have a strange combination of ingredients, especially the cabbage, but it could be worth a try.

INDIVIDUAL CORN QUICHES

Posted on January 7, 2016 by bebsrecipes

I think the combination of salami, sweet corn, bacon, tomato and onion makes these little quiches very tasty. They’re great to pop into a lunch box or to take out on a picnic.
