Lemon Slice

Another New Zealand find. For a variation you can throw a handful of coconut into the egg mixture. Normal size of a slice tin is 35cm long x 20 cm wide x 4 cm deep.

Argentine Beef Stew in a Pumpkin (Carbonada En Zapallo)

From Sasha Martin, Globaltableadventure.com, a truly amazing blog: “Carbonada en Zapallo is a traditional Christmas dish in Argentina, it also makes a wonderful dish for Halloween or Thanksgiving potlucks. It’s best to bake the pumpkin on something you can use for serving because trying to lift a softened pumpkin full of soup … well, let’s just say it begs to crack in half and spill everywhere. If this is not an option, roast the pumpkin on a baking sheet until well browned – about an hour and fifteen minutes, remove to serving platter and fill with completely cooked soup right before serving.” Check out her blog about cooking the world!

Afghan Dressing (Or Dip)

I was concocting dip and dressing recipes one day, and I was half watching CNN news at the same time when Osama bin Laden’s face appeared on the TV screen – hence the name. Enjoy it – it’s tasty.

Afghan Biscuits

Deceptively decadent chocolate biscuit ideal with coffee, after dinner or as a small treat. Children absolutely adore them, have a similar texture to shortbread only better.

Cinnamon Crispas

Crunchy cinnamon-sugar snacks like my girls love to get at Taco Bell…yummy for snacks, dessert, slumber parties, football parties, or ‘just cause.’ Great with Mexican Hot Chocolate! :o)
