About
My Dad was a cook in the Army so when I was a kid we always had great home cooking and never a stigma about cooking being womens work...I do most of the cooking at home now which keeps everybody happy...I suppose I should get out more often but I just enjoy working in the kitchen and listening to the radio...

This Guiness-like sauce has an lighter upper component, entirely fat (I smothered this on the roast veg the next day) and a darker gravy...this was 100% the fluids from the meat and one onion. It was one of the best taste sensations I've ever had! No stock added, just pure meat...awesome!![]()

First time I've tried these and they were very popular...
pre-warm oven to 180C
Beat an egg (to brush on pastry).
Thinly slice washed apples. I left the skin on.
Make up a cusard or vanilla sauce mix...I sweetened mine wish real vanilla sugar.
Take a sheet of ready made puff pastry and divide into equal squares (I got 8 from one sheet).
Add a spoon of custard to each square and 3 or 4 slices of apple. Top with another spoon of custard.
Fold the pastry to make a little envelope, brush with egg, sprinkle with brown sugar.
This took about 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to bake.
Fantastico![]()

Green sauce is quark mixed with fresh herbs. In this case parslet, dill and chives.
