I found the idea for cheat’s ravioli in Valli Little’s recipe book ‘Faking It – How to Cook Delicious Food without Really Trying’. Wonton ravioli is a happy meduim – a great alternative to making pasta from scratch if you are time poor, and beats store bought ravioli hands down.
My sister and I became obsessed with zucchini fritters after trying the ones at Bar Alto on the river at New Farm. I’ve been dreaming of them ever since, so decided to try my own. The ones at bar alto are sliced very thinly, and made with small zucchinis, but i like my version just as much.
The basic batter recipe, I found here www.nikibone.com/recipe/batter.html and then played around a bit to get this.
Mmm yum! Is all I have to say. I haven’t had a home made quiche in years. A few weeks ago, I bought a slice of quiche from Sisco on Boundary St, Spring Hill, which reminded me how good they can be.
I love this combination – especially the gouda cheese which oozes out the top of the quiche!
I cheated a little and used pampas short crust pastry rather than making my own and it was surprisingly very good – but will have to experiment with my own short crust pastry recipe when I try this again.
