Leek, Mushroom & Thyme Mashed Potatoes
A delicious way to enjoy mashed potatoes. Easy enough for weekday meals; elegant and tasty enough to serve to dinner guests. Adapted from the Australian Women’s Weekly Casserole cookbook.
Black Russian, Cola Black Russian and White Russian
I found these recipes in the April 2008 issue of the magazine ‘Australian Good Taste’. Apparently, this coffee-flavoured cocktail was first mixed at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels in 1949. Cola Black Russian and White Russian with Vodka and Cream are obviously direct descendants of Black Russian! How much cola you use in Cola Black Russian and how much cream you use in White Russian with Vodka and Cream will obviously depend both on the size of your glass and the portions that best suit your taste preferences! There is an inconsistency in the spelling of “‘Kahlúa” in this recipe because Zaar would not accept this spelling in the list of ingredients. Intriguing! Not to worry: just relax and enjoy your choice of Black Russian, Cola Black Russian or White Russian With Vodka and Cream.
Mushroom and Shredded Chicken Salad
A quick to prepare Asian-influenced salad which could be served as a main course or a side dish, from ‘tossed: 200 fast, fresh and fabulous salads’. If any of your mushrooms are particularly large, quarter them or chop them to an appropriate size. Ideal for making on a busy week-night with a takeaway – or take out – roasted chicken. BTW, 7 oz = 200g; 14 oz = 400g. The lime and soy dressing could be made in advance.
Mushroom & Herb Bruschetta
A simple, quick to make, low-fat and delicious anytime mushroom lovers’ snack that I have adapted from a recipe I found in the November 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Table: easy family food for every day of the week’. I am posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.
Fish With Macadamia Butter Sauce
The original recipe suggesed using barramundi fillets. Any white fish fillets work well with this recipe
