Elswet’s Damper Biscuits

Living in a small town on another continent, there are a few dishes I miss. True Japanese cuisine which orignates from somewhere other than a SteakHouse, AUTHENTIC Chinese food, and good old English Damper are but a few. My Lady, being the Goddess She is, worked and worked until She got it right for me. These are biscuits, which taste like the beloved damper of my youth. If you aren’t familiar with damper, it’s a quickbread wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed onto the coals of the fire, usually in the fireplace. The original damper is very easy to make, but to make them as biscuits, took some work and lots of adjustments. I hope you enjoy these very soft, bread-like biscuits. They are NOT “Southern” biscuits, by any means.

Cheese and Sesame Damper Scrolls

A New Idea find. An Australian cup is 250ml and a tablespoon is 20ml. To achieve a light result, it is important to handle damper dough quickly and gently.

Oven Baked Fish in White Wine

This is a simple dish. The fish is baked in white wine and parsley. The fish is very moist and tender when cooked. A simple but elegant dish

Lemon Date Bubble Bars

A no-bake slice. Good for lunchboxes or with a coffee. Just 5 minutes in your saucepan and ice when its cool. If you are cooking for a gluten-free diet then ensure you use Gluten Free Rice Bubbles(Rice Puffs)

Spiced Beetroot

For beetroot lovers! A delicious, very low calorie, VERY low fat (0.1g!) side dish to accompany any main course. I found this recipe in Karen Meyer’s ‘The Artful Vegetarian’ and I have adapted it slightly in posting it for the Healthy for the Holidays Challenge.
