Vicki Bickies

My friend Vicki is from Australia, and my daughter Adiya adores her. Possibly the only thing she adores more than Vicki are Vicki’s cookies (only kidding Vicki, she does love you more). These are basically ANZAC biscuits, but a bit different. Vicki uses slightly more coconut than what I’ve seen in the ANZAC biscuit recipes here on Zaar, and since golden syrup is hard to get here in Israel, she substitutes maple syrup. It’s not often my Didi brings home recipes from other mothers, so take notice of this one, it’s good! Thanks, Vicki, for sharing these with Didi (and me).

New Zealand Birdseed Bar

Not for the birds but a favourite lunchtime snack. Normal size of a slice tin is 35cm long x 20 cm wide x 4 cm deep.

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

This cheesecake is based on a recipe for No Bake Peach Cheesecake by homegirl. So many thanks go to her for giving me the idea and giving me the “ok” to post my version. I have made the changes necessary so that those of us in New Zealand & Australia can make a similar great dessert. You can also use other fruit & jelly combinations depending on what fruit & jellies are available. Note that the time given does not include chilling time.
