Here is an on-line recipe (assembly instructions, really) for lamingtons, a somewhat old-fashioned, but very popular Australian cake / sweet http://www.aussieslang.com/features/...ons-recipe.asp Of course, half of Amanda's fun will be "translating" it into USA-speak! For example, I'm not sure what dessicated coconut is called in the USA, but it is dried, shredded coconut. It is easy to get in Australia, so I assume it is easy to get in the USA also. Will she have to make these recipes? If so lamingtons are easy and tasty, if somewhat messy. Tish, ahhh, Australia I dunno if she'll have to make any of this stuff, but she's supposed to bring in various recipes from around the world. If she can bring in ones that are favorites and tested by people she "knows" so much the better. I'll give her what I've got and find out more today. Pam S. |

She's taking fundamentals of food (aka cooking 101) and one of her assignments is to bring in recipes from places other than the USA. So, knowing that we post troll-be-que recipes, she asked me to ask you to send your favorite recipe from your home country. Please include your name and country as part of the recipe. Australia: Cheese and vegemite swirls. Some sort of savoury pastry - I like flakey but any will do. If not already in a thin enough layer, roll out to the approximate thickness you'd use as a pie crust "Stain" one side with with vegemite (an Aussie would know how much to put on, but its hard to describe to others. A very thin layer) Sprinkle with your favourite cookable cheese - paremesan is nice. Roll up like a jam roll, and slice into bite-size slices Cook pastry according to instructions. Yowie (aka Vicky Chapman) Thank you everyone. She says they make some of these recipes if possible. Now she wants to know what Monkey Bread is. Any takers? Pam S. |

LOL Monkey Bread is nothing gourmet and definitely not from outside the U.S. 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes 1 cup sugar (divided) 2 tsp cinnamon 1 cup butter 1/2 cup brown sugar Take 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes (10 per roll) and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Drop roll pieces into 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. drop sugar coated pieces into a well buttered bundt pan. Put 1/2 cup of the left over sugar/cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) into small sauce pan. Bring this mixture just to a boil, take off heat right away. Carefully drizzle over the biscuits. Bake at 350F degrees for 30 min. Cool slightly and remove to a plate. Tear the biscuits apart. Some people put chopped pecans in the bottom of the bundt pan prior to baking. Jill |

My folks are from South Africa too! I grew up (in Australia) eating
baboetie, koeksisters, naatjies, spanspek, melktert and all sorts of unusually-named things. In English, these are (in order of appearance): curried mince pie, a kind of doughnut, mandarin oranges, canteloupe and custard pie, but they taste *so* much better with a funny name! Which part of ZA did your Mum come from? My Mum came from Johannesburg and my Dad from Pretoria and Cape Town.

Call me an idiot... I don't have the slightest concept of how this recipe
would turn out. Isn't it just one big cookie in the bottom of a tray, or am I missing something crucial here? I've never heard of monkey bread before (my first thought was 'banana bread' - ie, cake made with banana mush). Yowie "Jo Firey" wrote in message ...

If she's running low on recipes, there's always the trusty http://www.recipesource.com/ It even has some Finnish ones in there too. I can't do these recipe things as I seldom use recipes when cooking, it's just a pinch of this, a dash of that and some of that to taste... :/ -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |

I've never heard of monkey bread before (my first thought was 'banana bread' - ie, cake made with banana mush). Yowie I don't know if you have canned (tubed) biscuit dough over there - Pillsbury? These aren't biscuits like cookies, but biscuits like bread. When baked, the dough rises and stays relative soft even when browned on top. With Monkey Bread, you cut the biscuit dough into quarters (they are usually already 2 or 3 inch rounds about 1 inch thick) and place them in a circular bundt cake (tube) pan with the other stuff. They come out like pull-apart sticky buns in a circular shape with a hole in the middle from the tube in the center of the pan. Jill "Jo Firey" wrote in message ...

True, I'm a USian but my moms parents were straight off the boat from Scotland in 1918 or so. Grandma made the best scones! Jill "Yowie" wrote in message ... Call me an idiot...
