Hi all,

I have been away from the blog for a little while, sorry. Hope in my absence you have all created some wonderful cooking ideas and have them typed up and ready to email to me to be uploaded.

Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

500g butternut pumpkin
2 medium onions chopped
3 1/2 cups water
chicken stock
2 large carrots diced
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cloves garlic (optional)

Method

1. Chop all vegetables
2. Place onions and garlic (optional) and with small amount of olive oil and cook until onion is soft
3. All other ingredients into pot
4. Boil then simmer until cooked (around 30-45 minutes)
5. Blend and serve

Variation

1. Bake pumpkin and carrots in oven before adding to pot. I baked pumpkin and carrot for around 45 minutes on a high heat before adding to the broth. Also, when you are adding it to the broth, take some of the liquid and put into baking tray to get all the cooked flavours.

This is a family favourite. It is really simple and yummy. You can add cream at the end, either sour cream or coconut cream. You can make a vegetarian alternative; add vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

Self-saucing chocolate pudding

Ingredients

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup self-raising flour
2 tbs cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
60g butter, melted, cooled

Sauce

2/3 firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder sifted
1 1/4 cups boiling water

Method

1. Place brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl
2. Sift together the flour and cocoa powder over the brown sugar and stir to combine
3. Use a fork or hand whisk to whisk together the milk, egg and cooled (melted) butter into a bowl or jug until combined
4. Add to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to beat until a smooth batter forms
5. Pour the chocolate batter into the greased 1 litre dish and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
6. To make the sauce, combine the brown sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl and then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
7. Pour the boiling water over the batter in the dish and cook for about 20 minutes
8. To test if the pudding is cooked you can put a tester in the top (remember the bottom will be a sauce). The sides should be away from the edge but the cake will be dark and possibly look burnt from the chocolate on the top.

I took this out of a magazine years ago, I think it would have been 'Good Taste'. I have cooked this heaps of times because it is a quick recipe to cook in winter when friends are coming over for dinner. I have also cooked individual serves and served with ice cream.

Chocolate double choc chip and peanut biscuits

Ingredients

200g chopped butter
3/4 cup caster sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 cups SR flour

Just under 1/2 cup white choc bits

Just under 1/2 cup dark choc bits
Just under 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (not salted) see note below

Method

1. Beat butter, sugars and eggs with electric beaters
2. Stir in remaining ingredients
3. Roll into teaspoon sized balls
4. Cook in a moderate oven for 15 minutes
5. Take out of oven but leave on the tray for a little while before putting on wire rack to cool (biscuits come out of oven a little soft)

Note
I used raw peanuts and roasted them myself in the oven for about 10 minutes.

I have no ideas where I got this recipe, it is handwritten in my recipe book.

Apple crumble with pecans

Ingredients

3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
75g unsalted butter
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup rolled oats

1 tsp ground cinnamon

400g tin of pie apples or apple slices (or experiment with different fruit)

Method

1. Mix plain flour and brown sugar, using your fingertips, rub in the butter until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
2. Add almonds, cinnamon and combine. Set aside.
3. Place the pie apple in greased dish.
4. Sprinkle crumble mixture over apples to cover and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until crumble is golden.
5. Serve with ice cream or cream.

I found this recipe on Taste.com.au and changed it a little. They cooked apples (5 cooking apples) instead of tin fruit and I think there was a typo as it said 175g butter and 75g is more than enough. The pecans give this apple crumble a wonderful extra crunch.

I made this at home with Mum and Dad for lunch when they had a friend over and it was a huge hit. Super easy, super yummy.

1 egg
1 1/2 cups SR flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup boiling water
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Chocolate Icing

1 cup icing mixture

Honey ginger buttons

Ingredients

60g butter
1/2 cup golden syrup
1/4 cup honey
1 3/4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
3 teaspoons milk

Icing
See below

Method

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, increase heat to medium-high.
2. Stir in golden syrup and honey. Bring to the boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Disolve bircarb in milk.
4. Sift flour and ginger together into butter mixture. Add milk mixture and stir until well combined.
5. Cover and set aside for 1 hour or until dough is firm.
6. Using a heaped teaspoon of mixture, roll into balls and place about 3cm apart on lined baking tray.
7. Bake for 5-10 minutes (180 deg C oven). Allow to cool on trays.
8. Make icing and spread on biscuits after biscuits are cool.

I made the icing as I normally do (not what was in the recipe). I use icing mixture, enough water (or butter) to make a paste then add colouring and/or essence. If the icing is not thick (does not stay on the spoon) add some more icing mixture. I made white icing and pink icing for these biscuits.

This recipe was from the Taste website, originally from Super Food Ideas magazine. I took these biscuits to rehearsals the other night and everybody loved them.

Shape biscuits

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
can add cocoa to chocolate biscuits

Method

1. Mix butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla thoroughly
2. Stir in flour, baking powder
3. Chill for at least 1 hour (this REALLY needs to be done). Make sure you cover with glad wrap or it will dry out. I usually put the mixture on glad wrap not in a bowl. 
4. Pre-heat oven to 180-200 deg C
5. Roll out dough on floured surface and cut shapes with cookie cutters
6. Bake for 6-10 minutes or until golden brown
7. Decorate biscuits with icing

This recipe was from a Spotlight book called 'The essential recipe guide - your favourites' and I use it all the time. If you don't leave the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour it is really hard to roll. When you take it out of the fridge it is a bit greasy.

Choc chip pancakes

Ingredients:

1 cup SR flour
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup (250ml) milk
1/3 cup small choc chips - plain label are fine!

Method

1. Make well in centre of dry ingredients and break egg into it. gradually add milk and stir in with wooden spoon (if it's too lumpy, use a wire whisk to get lumps out!)
2. Stand for an hour if you have time - less if you don't!
3. Pour about a quarter of of mixture into a greased frying pan so the pancake spreads to about 15 cms or so (6 + inches!).
4. Cook on medium high heat till bubbles form. Flip over and cook for 30 secs on other side.
5. Serve plain, with ice cream or a smear of butter!

To be really decadent, whack some more choc chips in a microwave safe just or cup, mix in half a cup of cream, heat gently and stir to make a choc sauce. Pour some choc sauce over choc pancakes!

This recipe is good enough to serve to guests, but is a sure winner with a family with boys in it because after all - it's chocolate!

Cup Cakes - Patty Cakes - Fairy Cakes

These are the easiest and yummiest cup cakes. They are not too sweet; they taste a little like pancakes.

Ingredients

125g butter - melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups s.r. flour

Method

1. Beat all ingredients by hand or electric beaters.
2. Place spoonfuls into greased patty pans, muffin pans or patty cake papers.
3. Cook 180 deg C for 10-15 minutes.
4. Decorate as desired.

The icing I use is 1 cup icing mixture, food colouring and enough milk (or water) to make it a little runnier than a paste but not too runny otherwise it will not set. Also, to put onto cup cake, I put the icing into a ziplock bag and cut the tiniest bit off the corner instead of using a piping bag.

Yummiest Cottage Pie ever

Ingredients

1 tbs olive oil
1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, trimmed, finely chopped
500g beef mince
2 tbs plain flour
500ml (2 cups) beef stock
1 dried bay leaf
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs tomato paste
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 (about 200g each) desiree potatoes, peeled, chopped
40g butter
125ml (1/2 cup) milk
Melted butter, to brush

Method

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft.
2. Add mince and cook, stirring to break up any lumps, for 5 minutes or until mince changes colour.
3. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until combined.
4. Add stock, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste.
5. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
6. Meanwhile: cook potato in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Return to the pan with the butter. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth. Add milk and use a wooden spoon to stir until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
7. Preheat oven to 200°C. Spoon lamb mixture into a 2L (8-cup) capacity ovenproof baking dish. Top with mashed potato and use a fork to spread over lamb mixture. Brush with butter.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until mashed potato is golden brown.

I found this recipe on the Taste website (http://www.taste.com.au/) and it was a Shepherd's Pie but I put beef mince instead of lamb so it is considered Cottage Pie.

Although it has lots of ingredients and steps, it was the yummmmiest cottage pie I have ever eaten.

"Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake

I cooked this cake the other day and it was yummy!

Lemon cheesecake

Ingredients

Base:
1 cup plain sweet biscuits, crushed
1/3 cup butter, melted

Filling:
3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tsp finely grated lemon zest
6 tsp lemon juice
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp double cream, whipped

Method

Base:
Place the biscuits and butter in a bowl and mix to combine. Press the biscuit mixture over the base and up the sides of a well-greased 23cm flan tin with removable base. Bake for 5-8 minutes, then cool.

Filling:
Place the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest and juice in a bowl and beat until creamy. Beat in the egg, then mix in the condensed milk and fold in the cream. Spoon the filling into the prepared biscuit case and bake for 25-30 minutes or until just firm. Turn the oven off and cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar.

Chill before serving.

This recipe was adapted from one that used half orange and half lime zest and juice instead. I have made it a couple of times, and once substituted raw sugar for the brown sugar, and it turned out fine, possibly even a little firmer. It can be topped with toasted dessicated coconut (as per original recipe), but I made passionfruit butter to put on mine:

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
pulp of 4 passionfruit

Method

Place butter and sugar in the top of a double saucepan, mix. Blend in egg, then passionfruit pulp. Place over water simmering in the base of the double saucepan. Stir occasionally until mixture thickens, approximately 1/2 hour. Cool.

Vegetable Gyoza

Makes around 20

Ingredients

Filling

2 cups finely sliced cabbage

½ cup grated zucchini (juice squeased out)

½-1 cup finely sliced spring onions (depending on taste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon grated ginger (I used from a jar)
1 teaspoon garlic (I used from a jar)
Salt and pepper to season
Gyoza wrappers (most asian supermarkets have them in fridge, there are recipes online to make the wrappers but I have not tried them...yet)

Method

To make filling:

1. Cook cabbage, zucchini and spring onions with a little oil
2. Combine sauce and add to pan with cabbage mix
3. Cook until sauce has mostly gone
4. Put in fridge into cool

To fold into wrapper:

1. When mixture cools, place desert spoon full mixture into middle of Gyoza wrapper
2. With your finger, wipe water around the edge
3. Fold both sides together and pleat around the edge

Cooking:

1. Place a little oil in a hot pan
2. Place the gyoza's (not touching) into the pan
3. When the base is slightly brown place a cup of water (or enough water to fill the bottom of the pan) and place a lid on for them to steam
4. While they are steaming make the sauce (1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or mirin)

Although there are lots of steps, they are very easy to make and taste great.

This recipe I have adapted from a traditional recipe I found online that included shiitake mushrooms and no zucchini (I just had some in the fridge to use up). I also adjusted some of the ingredients in the sauce from what I knew I would like.

These can also be made with pork, beef or chicken mince.

1 egg
1 cup stewed apples

Method

Mix dry ingredients, add beaten egg, melted butter and apple mix.

This is another recipe Mum makes at home that I took with me when I left. I have made it many times with apple (no sultanas), banana and a few other varieties of fruit (all tin fruit - squeeze out the liquid, some liquid fruit like tin peach, you need to add a bit more flour to compensate for all the liquid).

125g margarine (melted)
Pasta (small pasta eg. swirls, macaroni etc)
See variation below for the other ingredients
Cheese

Not sure where this recipe came from but it was always cooked at home (at least once a week). There is almost always left-overs to be reheated for the next night as it makes heaps. The reason that we called it impossible pie is because it is impossible to get wrong.

If you know more variations please write them below.

Gluten free brownies

I had a group of friends over for supper the other night, one friend has gluten free requirements. I found  the most wonderful, easy and very yummmmmmy brownie recipe on the Taste.com.au website. Please see the link below for the recipe.

Cream cheese tree or cob loaf dip

For non festive dip this is good served in a hollowed out cob loaf or something similar. But for Christmas, take the time and make it look like a tree!!

Ingredients

1 block cream cheese
1 tub sour cream (full fat for both to help it set)
Box of frozen spinach
I packet Spring Vegetable Soup

Method

Mix all ingredients together. (This is where it gets fiddly).
Make a cone shape out of baking paper (much like a piping bag if you were going to ice something) and fill it to the top.
Put in the fridge overnight.
Unwrap and sprinkle parsley over all of it (fresh or dried). You might need to roll it around a bit to get a good tree shape.
Put it into the freezer for a few hours so it hardens a bit.
You can decorate it with capsicum and a cardboard star!
It’s a bit messy when you are doing it, but it looks great in the end!

Does anybody have a never fail sweet or savoury pastry recipe? I tried a sweet pastry that failed badly so I would love to know one that works.

If you have any requests or cooking hints and tips, please let me know, the aim of this blog is to share.

Fresh Pumpkin Soup

Serves 6

Ingredients

500g pumpkin
250g carrots
6 cups stock (or stockcubes and water)
can of tomatoes (undrained)
1 onion
Fresh Basil

Method

1. Dice pumpkin and carrots, bring to the boil in stock and cook until soft.
2. Cook tomatoes and onion in small pan over low heat until onions soften a little.
3. Add tomato mixture to pumpkin mix and puree until smooth.
4. Add chopped fresh basil and season to taste.

Note:
This soup has a little magic in it as it seems to be not only a hearty winter soup but also somehow seems light and fresh enough for summer meals. The kids love it (don't even question the vegetable-ness of it) and the no dairy aspect makes it a winner too -great for kids with allergies!
