Got an idea for next month's banner?
I think I've found part of tonight's dinner in the 1974 edition of the New Zealand Women's Weekly Cookbook. I love old cookbooks, they use fairly plain, easy-to-source ingredients and took clogging arteries as a personal challenge. That said, I'm only going to use half the cheese for this experiment. Probably.
I like old recipes also; generally cut the sugar though (especially American origin ones) as I think people used to have a sweeter tooth...or the cynic in me says the books were sponsored by sugar companies.
I tend to stick to savoury rather than sweet so it's more about figuring out how much dripping or lard to leave out. The amount of alcohol stuffed into 'dessert' is quite amusing though
