Feta and Spinach Rolls
My own invention that I took to a party yesterday and got asked for the recipe aseveral times. Aus puff pastry comes as interleaved sheets of which there are 6 in a 1kg packet.
2-Minute Noodle Corn Pancakes
Most kids love 2-minute noodles and corn fritters so in this recipe, adapted from a recipe on the Simply Great Recipes website, the two have been combined to make yummy kid-friendly pancakes. If you want to sneak in some different vegetables, you could probably get away with this the second or third time you make these! For an adult version, perhaps add bacon, garlic, and serve with sour cream and lemon wedges.
Garlicky Coleslaw
This recipe was found on ABC.net’s Western Australia website and Chef Kate Lamont from Nibblies with Kate. Quick and easy coleslaw without a mayonnaise dressing. Also included in the Zaar World Tour 2005, Australia.
Chocolate & Macadamia Baked Bananas
This is as easy a recipe as I’ve seen anywhere and SO delicious: just have a glance at the ingredients and the instructions. Do recipes come any easier than this? This is Todd Cameron’s recipe and it appeared in the October issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’. Todd is the chef at the Gaia Retreat & Spa near Byron Bay. How do I explain Byron Bay to non-Australians? Well the name of the retreat should give you some idea. Byron Bay, situated on the New South Wales coastline, on the Pacific Ocean, has long been the retreat of hippies – or aging hippies – and in more recent years properties there have been much sought after by Australian actors, such as Russell Crowe and Paul Hogan. So although Byron Bay still has New Age leanings, it has also become the stomping ground of the rich and famous. That said, this recipe with its three ingredients and no chopping or grating, whisking or kneading, couldn’t be simpler. Or quicker!
Berry & Banana Smoothie
A scrumptious, low fat, low GI smoothie which I found in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’ and have adapted. Because it’s different from other smoothies I’ve made, I have posted it here for safekeeping – and for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.
