Rich Viennese Potato Soup

This is a creamy and satisfying soup that is silky smooth with nice nibbles of vegetables that offer a nice change from other potato leek soups. The use of buttermilk and cardomom also provide distinctive flavor to the soup. This is filling enough to use as the centerpiece of a comforting dinner or lunch. You can make this vegetarian by using vegetable broth in lieu of chicken broth. On the day the photo was taken, I omitted the mushrooms for the sake of a mushroom-hating guest. Every spoonful was still delicious.

Black Forest Pumpernickel Bread Machine Loaf

this one I have been making for ten years, and always turns out fine for me even now in a different machine..Give it a try eat with ham and cheese and homemade potato soup, yummy

Kangaroo and Beer Pie with Damper Pastry

This was in our Age Sunday supplement. I’m posting it in honour of Australia Day, but have to admit I personally couldn’t eat kangaroo meat and would make it with lamb or beef! Prep time includes chill time.

Macadamia Nut Butter

Many recipes call for it and it’s not readily available outside Australia but you can use this method to create your own peanut butter, pecan butter, brazil nut butter, hazelnut butter, almond butter or any nut butter you like. Am guessing at how much it will yield and listed it twice so RZ would recognize it. After looking at one of Jubes fish recipes, I have wondered if this could be used in savory dishes that have a butter and nut combination??
