| 52 | Hi brianmac A mixture of hot & cold would be great, thankyou. We are trying to get a few ideas together for fancy finger food starters that would be like mini entres, instead of having a sit down entre, any ideas would be fantastic!!!! kermitnz1 - 2007-04-01 22:56:00 |

| 54 | might be obvious but... any normal slice cut into very small squares and dusted with icing sugar or decorated with mint, sliced strawberries etc goes down well. I always do brownies like this and they disappear fast. nunesy - 2007-04-02 11:07:00 |

| 56 | bacon pinwheels excellent for nibbles with drinks, those flaky pastry sheets, garlic salt and bacon, lay out all pastry sheets then cover top 3/4 with bacon, roll like a swiss roll and but into 1cm pieces, lay flat on covered baking tray and sprinkle with garlic salt, cook 200 for 10 mins then turn over, can be cooked ahead and re heated these are scrumptious (hiya brianmac) pomegal - 2007-04-02 15:53:00 |

| 62 | Elderberry flower for non alcoholic punch This is also good for a delicious base, or cold tea can also be used as a base, add ginger ale, apple juice & orange juice. 510 - 2007-04-07 13:49:00 |

| 64 | bump to continue. 510 - 2007-04-19 05:14:00 |
| 65 | Great for hors d'oeuvre - or for dessert.. depending on the type of pasty used. And you can make the bases in advance.. Use purchased frozen SHORT pastry - not flaky or puff pasty.. Use sweet short pastry for dessert; savoury short pastry for savoury goodies. Roll out the pastry and cut into bite size circles.. it's makes a lot.. a biscuit cutter gives a nice crinkled look edge. Bake as per packet instructions till firm and only just beginning to colour. Cool an a cake rack till completely cold, then freeze till needed.. For savoury toppings, use whatever you prefer.. You could spread with a thickish layer of cream cheese mixed with sweet chili sauce, then top with a curl of smoked salmon, and a tiny sprig of parsley.. Mix the cream cheese with some mint jelly, and top with avocado slices.. Use anything you want... caviar, cherry tomato slices, salmon, sliced surimi, different fresh herbs, avocado, kiwifruit, etc..etc.. juliewn - 2007-04-24 13:11:00 |
| 66 | For sweet circles.. use cream cheese also - add some icing sugar if you want.. or use firmly whipped cream.. top with your preferences.. fresh passionfruit pulp, kiwifruit slices, fresh berries, well drained cooked/canned sliced peaches, apricots, etc.. etc.. Spread them in single layers on trays - they look wonderful and taste great too.. Enjoy! juliewn - 2007-04-24 13:12:00 |
| 67 | Sweet treats I made some of these on teh weekend. I got some flaky puff pastry - cut each sheet into 4 triangles. Put some frozen raspberries and a square of dark chocolate on each piece and then folded it all up like an envelope. Into a 180 oven for about 15 minutes and wow - so good! carafh - 2007-04-24 16:27:00 |

| 73 | I will posts some salads for BBQ type functions *big breath and dives into recipe files* garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:28:00 |
| 74 | Cauliflower Salad posted by Flo16 Cut cauli into small florets and wash drain well, melt butter in frying pan and add curry powder and cashew nuts or peanuts etc stir over heat until nuts brown, watch carefully they burn easily.Add to cauli along with enough mayonnaise to moisten,fold altogether chill and enjoy.Amounts depend on how much made and personal, taste use a good dressing as this gives better flavour.Always asked for recipe and requested as salad when taking a plate.Hope this helps. I have made flos recipe, very crunchy. ~ Message from Garrick ~ I would prep this salad the day before and to be at it's best, put it together on day of function. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:31:00 |
| 75 | beet & strawberry salad by mackenzie2 Another really popular one into cans of watties spiced whole baby beetroot, add red pepper's (cut into chunks) and strawberrys (halved) looks and tastes fantastic. ~ message from garrick ~ I have not tried this but seems a lovely salad, a little romantic with the strawberries. Mackenzie says it is really popular. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:34:00 |
| 76 | My Chicken Waldorf Salad Chopped red apple with skin on, squeeze over lemon juice and stir. Add cubed cooked chicken meat, chopped celery, red grapes in half (instead of raisons) toasted cashew nuts (or walnuts), spring onion finely sliced. Then grab your best and fav mayo, add 1/2 tsp ground ginger, mix and taste. Keep adding the ginger to taste, this is the secret ingred that really pulls everything together. toss through salad but try not to over coat as it can get too heavy. I decorate with a few extra nuts. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:36:00 |
| 77 | Pasta Salad This is a hit, make it the day before, it is a family fav and keeps us going over summer. In bowl throw 3 C cook pasta spirals ~ 1/2 C roasted peanuts ~ 1/4 C sunflower seeds ~ 1/4 C pumpkin seeds ~ chopped green pepper. Heat the following gently and carefully while stirring: knob grated ginger ~ 3-4 cloves crushed garlic ~ 1/4 C sugar ~ 1/2 C oil ~ 1/2 C light soya sauce. You just need to dissolve sugar and heat liquid, do not fry garlic and ginger in this mix. Pour straight over all ingred so the hot dressing soaks into the cold pasta, toss and chill. Toss before serving. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:38:00 |
| 78 | Rice Salad Can make the day before. Cook brown rice, cool. Place in bowl brown rice ~ 1 tin drained kidney beans ~ 1/2 C sultanas ~ 1/2 C currants ~ 3/4 C toasted peanuts ~ 1/2 C poppy seeds ~ 1 C finely chopped fresh parsley ~ red pepper chopped. Bring to the boil and pour over the salad 1/4 C olive oil ~ 1/4 C cider vin ~ 1 good tsp curry powder. Toss and refridgerate in airtight container, toss before serving. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:40:00 |
| 79 | mackenzie2 Aduki Bean Salad Very Similar to my rice salad above.

Heat 1 cup oil with 1 Tbsp curry till combined when cool add 1/4 cup of cider vinagar. Combine all, will keep for a couple of weeks. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:42:00 |
| 80 | Bean Salad Another winner, keeps really well and is cheap. Make this 3 days before function as it is better on sitting. 1 pkt mixed dried beans, soak overnight, drain and boil in water for an hour or until tender to the bite. Cook lightly a cup or more of yellow and green beans. Make up liquiod in a large bowl using 2 cup white vin (I use spiced), 1 C sugar, 1 Tlb salt 2-3 cloves crushed garlic, cracked black pepper to taste. Mix until sugar has dissolved, add to cold beans adding 1-2 large onions finely chopped, celery chopped, red and green peppers chopped. garrick2 - 2007-05-09 08:44:00 |
