Magnolia Verandah: Glazed Ling with Sweet and Sour Shallots
http://magnoliaverandah.blogspot.com/2012/11/glazed-ling-with-sweet-and-sour-shallots.html
Wednesday, 7 November 2012. Glazed Ling with Sweet and Sour Shallots. Ling with Sweet and Sour Shallots and snipped chives. A little bit of "Simply Red" to cook by. The man felt like chinese food as he always does! And then as if he read my mind said 'Let's give the Random Challenge a go'. The book came down from the bookshelf, being an April baby it was no. 4 - a Gordon Ramsay book "Healthy Appetite". A fish, but what fish? 4 skinless Ling fillets (Rockling) about 170g each. A little olive oil for oiling.

Tuesday, 8 November 2011. Tangy Lemon Tea Cake. An English friend of mine brought this cake to my house in a "Random Bake of Kindness". Click on the site to take you to Prepped) and said the recipe was given to her by a friend of a friend of a friend but she thought it was originally published in an Australian Women’s Weekly . So I set to. The lemon zest smelt just as you expect lemons should and they were so big and juicy only half was needed for the ingredients. Measuring cups at the ready. The lemon z...

Magnolia Verandah: Orange Halva Cake for Mother's Day
http://magnoliaverandah.blogspot.com/2012/05/orange-halva-cake-for-mothers-day.html
Sunday, 13 May 2012. Orange Halva Cake for Mother's Day. As this is a ring cake I hunted the night before for an appropriate tin (in case I had to make a dash to the shops to buy or make calls to borrow) and actually dug out 3! Which I can't remember buying at all! I even got to use my new zesting plane instead of grating the orange rind - good tools do make some jobs a joy. 1/4 cup caster sugar. Grated rind and juice of 1 orange. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1/4 cup caster sugar. 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

Magnolia Verandah: Take-away Breakfast
http://magnoliaverandah.blogspot.com/2015/04/take-away-breakfast.html
Monday, 20 April 2015. My kitchen at the moment is on a health food kick. Here is a quick filling breakfast that can be prepared easily the night before and be ready to run out the door to work when time is tight. In a small screw top jar put 1 tablespoon of Chia Seeds and fill 2/3rds with milk, coconut milk or almond milk. Give it a good mix or shake. Overnight in the fridge the seeds swell to become pudding like. I topped my jar up with vanilla soy, which made it lovely and sweet. 23 April 2015 at 22:34.

Magnolia Verandah: Chicken Schnitzel with Cucumber and Dill Salad
http://magnoliaverandah.blogspot.com/2015/01/chicken-schnitzel-with-cucumber-and.html
Tuesday, 27 January 2015. Chicken Schnitzel with Cucumber and Dill Salad. I have not been one to cook a lot of fried food and definitely not with the added calories of breadcrumbs. But after all the Christmas leftovers were used up and we were still in holiday mode, I enjoyed some time pouring over my new Christmas cookbooks and these chicken schnitzels by Annabel Karmel from her book Annabel's Family Cookbook, caught my eye. The cucumber salad accompaniment topped off a lovely balance of flavours too.

Magnolia Verandah: Scrambled eggs
http://magnoliaverandah.blogspot.com/2015/05/scambled-eggs.html
Saturday, 30 May 2015. Is there anything more versatile than eggs? Cooked in a variety of ways for breakfast or a snack and added to all manner of dishes sweet or savoury. The perfect fast food in fact. Sunday morning breakfast is generally a laid back affair, including more than one pot of tea and numerous slices of toast. Breakfast is generally on the front verandah come summer or winter (in winter we have the cafe blinds down and the outside gas heater on making it very pleasant). 31 May 2015 at 00:31.

Magnolia Verandah: Jean's Ginger Fluff Sponge
http://magnoliaverandah.blogspot.com/2013/09/jeans-ginger-fluff-sponge.html
Saturday, 28 September 2013. Jean's Ginger Fluff Sponge. On the weekend my mother-in-law gave me one of her cook books- Encyclopedia of World Cookery by Elizabeth Campbell published 1958, an unexpected gesture. The pages are very very yellow and the linen cover quite worn and stained. By chance I just flicked to the very back and there was her famous Ginger Fluff Sponge recipe! 3/4 cup of sugar (I presumed caster). 1 dessert spoon of golden syrup. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. 1/4 teaspoon carb soda or 1...
