Dark Chocolate and Pear Friands

Wed, 06 May 2009 18:22:57 -0400

These are a light tea cake. Financiers are often baked in shaped molds. The name "financier" is said to derive from the traditional rectangular mold, which resembles a bar of gold. The friands that have become popular in Australia and New Zealand appear to have been based on the French financier; however, Australian and New Zealand friands typically have additional flavorings such as coconut, chocolate, fruit, and nuts. Australian / New Zealand friands are traditionally baked in oval shapes. I found this recipe in a New Zealand paper. -- posted by Charlotte J

Anzac Day Oaty Biscuits

Fri, 08 May 2009 01:35:29 -0400

I found this recipe for a healthier Anzac Day biscuit on the New Zealand Heart Foundation website. It comes from a program they have done aimed at schools. I was also drawn to it because of the lack of coconut which I was finding in a lot of Anzac Day biscuit recipe. Since I am not a fan of coconut these sound perfect for me. The recipe didn't give a yield. So, I am guessing on that. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Carolanne's Anzac Biscuits

Tue, 12 May 2009 16:49:55 -0400

This recipe was shared by my friend, Carolanne, who was born and raised in New Zealand. She is a terrific cook! ANZAC stands for "Australian & New Zealand Army Corps" and is celebrated on April 25 in New Zealand. They were one of the items that would be sent to soldiers from home during World War One because they could survive the long journey by sea, and remain edible (and nothing hinders homesickness like home baking!). Over the years, softer, chewier versions of the biscuit have evolved, commonly including rolled oats, coconut and golden syrup. Eggs never feature in true Anzac biscuits, as eggs were in very short supply during World War One. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Chocolate Sticky Date Pudding With Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:26:30 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Super Food Ideas, September 2008 (#1 Australian food magazine). Leftover cake and sauce can be saved for up to 3 days: store cake in airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerate sauce in an airtight container. Whiskey is an optional ingredient. I have tried to give U.S. equivalents of measurements. Double cream is the name in Britain for a very rich cream containing 48% butterfat. Whipping cream in this country, by contrast, contains between 30% and 40% butterfat. Single cream in Britain is comparable to American half and half (and may also be called pouring cream), with between 10% and 12% fat. I am guessing that spreadable mascarpone will yield a similar rich creamy taste to finish off this dessert. -- posted by KateL

Hawaii Da Kine Burgers W/ Sweet-Chili Glaze & Goat Cheese

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:52:00 -0400

Sutter Home's 2008 Build a Better Burger ® Winner!!!! "Da kine" is a key phrase in Hawaiian Pidgin, the language of the "locals." It can mean almost anything, but commonly refers to something good or genuine, or as in this case, "the best." This burger is as local as it gets, both in taste and ingredients. The patties are tender and juicy, thanks to fresh papaya and sweet onion, and are spiced with Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, which is so popular in Hawaii that it is on every breakfast menu (including McDonald’s). The accompanying salad employs heating oil to its smoking point, a local cooking method, resulting in a dynamite burger accompaniment. To complete the Hawaiian flavoring, I added a sweet glaze (Hawaiians love sweet and savory) and was inspired by our award-winning goat dairy to create a mouth-watering ginger-infused cheese spread. Ho, dat's da kine! Pairs with Zinfandel -- posted by College Girl

Dark Chocolate and Sangiovese Pear Brownies

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:40:42 -0400

This yummy and super-rich chocolate brownie recipe has been adapted from a recipe by Maggie Beer, a revered Australian chef and author of many cookbooks. If Sangiovese Verjuice is not available use any Verjuice; and you could use glacé cumquat, ginger - or whatever glacé fruit you like instead of the pear - and you could use a mixture of fruit and nuts. I'd recommend macadamia nuts. Some conversions: 300g = approximately 91/2 ounces; 250g = 8 ounces; 60g = 2 ounces; 40g = 11/3 ounces. For the BEST results, do use top quality chocolate, such as Lindt 70% cocoa. Recently, I tried some German chocolate that was 85% cocoa... that was probably too rich and too bitter for most tastes, so rich in fact that you'd find that much as they enjoyed it people wouldn't be coming back for a second and third brownie - so your brownies would last longer! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

This jelly goes well with roast pork or with toasted cheese sandwiches. Iusually pour into various size jars so the number of jars depends on the sizes used. The quantities can be easily increased but you would need to increase 2nd cooking time. Good Christmas present, or for school fete. -- posted by Coasty

Fruit Mince

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 23:36:24 -0500

The fruit mince needs to macerate for about 2-3 weeks, although the longer the better. I usually make a few jars around August and then let it sit until December. Traditionally suet would have been used instead of butter. Now days most butchers don't carry suet. -- posted by Coasty

From Flo Bjelke-Peterson's Classic Country Cooking book. I chop my almonds in the food processor to get the texture that works best for these. You can also use peanuts if you prefer. -- posted by Sara 76

Based on a recipe from the box my Tommy Bahama Ultra Premium Rum came in. It reminds us that the Mai Tai was invented in 1944! And here I thought it was invented while I was in college! :) -- posted by mersaydees

Peach Freeze

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:41:27 -0500

This recipe is from the side of a large can of SPC Peach Halves in natural fruit juice. The can is 825g (roughly 30 ounces) and the fruit content is labelled at being at least 59% of the can. The original recipe had 2 tablespoons of sugar....but I dont think it's necessary with lovely sweet fruit. Cook time does not include freezing time -- posted by **Jubes**
