PLUM CLAFOUTI

Posted on May 4, 2017 by bebsrecipes

Claufouti – a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally black cherries, arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter – that’s the official definition anyway. This recipe was published in the Woman’s Day sometime ago, but I only started making it more recently. It’s a terrific dinner party dessert, because you can prepare it beforehand and then put it in the oven while you’re eating the main course. I don’t bother with the cinnamon sticks, I just serve it with some cream and icecream and everyone seems to like it.

FRENCH TOAST

Posted on April 27, 2017 by bebsrecipes

There’s really nothing different about this recipe. I think French Toast’s been made this way around the world for a long time. Must admit that the heading Tempting Tucker, followed by French Toast was what appealed to me about this cutting – so Australian ……………

MERINGUE TOPPED APPLE CUSTARD

Posted on April 20, 2017 by bebsrecipes

I have no idea who Adam is, so I thought I’d rename this recipe Meringue Topped Apple Custard. What I like about it is, that as with a lot of the old recipes, there’s no fancy ingredients, just things you have in the cupboard. In this case, milk, bread, butter, apples, vanilla essence, eggs and sugar so that makes it a great ‘last minute’ dessert.

TUNA MORNAY

Posted on April 10, 2017 by bebsrecipes

Seafood at Christmas and Easter has always been expensive not that it’s something Mum would have bought then or any other time. Dad was a very enthusiastic fisherman so we mainly had fish that he’s caught or tinned fish. Tuna Mornay was a family favourite, completely out of fashion these days of course, but still a tasty meal – if you like tinned tuna or salmon that is.

COCONUT PYRAMIDS

I guess you could rename these Coconut Macaroons, maybe not quite the traditional ones that you make with condensed milk, but still a quick and a gluten free treat for everyone.

FRIED RICE

Posted on February 17, 2017 by bebsrecipes

When I was growing up the best part of the Sun newspaper was the Corinella children’s page. Each week the paper would publish jokes, drawings and recipes sent in by children and they would be awarded certificates of merit. This Fried Rice recipe earned it’s sender a Blue Certificate. It’s not the way I make Fried Rice, it has a much higher egg to rice ratio than my version, but it looks good and certainly worthy of a Blue Certificate.

CAESAR-STYLE RICE SALAD

Posted on November 24, 2016 by bebsrecipes

Who doesn’t love a Caesar salad (with or without the anchovies)? This is the first time I’ve seen rice added though. Even without adding some cooked chicken or salmon it would be a meal in itself.

BANANA BREAD CUSTARD PUDDING

Posted on October 7, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This recipe was in a liftout booklet from the Women’s Weekly back in October 1991. It’s another take on the old bread and butter pudding with the twist being fruit loaf and banana instead of plain old white bread and butter.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE ICE CREAM WITH FROSTED TOPPING

Posted on September 30, 2016 by bebsrecipes

To me there’s a couple of advantages with this recipe, a. it contains chocolate mousse and b. you can make it a week in advance. When you’re catering for a crowd the trick is to do as much pre-preparation as you can so that on the day/night of the party you aren’t stuck in the kitchen all the time. For that reason alone this recipe could be well worth trying out.

BEV’S FAMOUS PLUM CAKE

Posted on August 18, 2016 by bebsrecipes

I’ve no idea who Bev is or what makes this plum cake famous, but as it says it looks simple and delicious and you can’t ask for more than that.
