FRIDGE-CLEANING QUICHE
This savoury quiche recipe was sent to me by my friend Zibby in Australia. My
family call it the fridge-cleaning quiche because its a good way to use leftovers.
It can be served hot or cold, on its own or with salad or vegetables.

LOUISIANA GUMBO
My late mother invented this recipe in 1971. She had an American friend called
Delta, who told her about the gumbos she enjoyed as a child, so we concocted this
and it became a favourite for special occasions. My mom was thrifty and did not
approve of the prawns, but I persuaded her to use them.

MEDITERRANEAN SALAD
My recipe was inspired by the Greek dish of giant white beans, gigantes, which
my husband and I always enjoyed in the days when we used to go backpacking in
Greece. In the original recipe, the beans (similar to butter beans) are cooked in a
tomato, onion and herb sauce, but I played about with ingredients and flavours
and came up with this. Its quick and simple to make, has a real look and taste of
the Mediterranean, and you will probably have the ingredients in your kitchen.
Serves 4-6
What to do
Dressing:
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
60ml ( cup) extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
Large handful fresh flat-leaf
parsley, finely chopped
Salad
1 x 400g can butter beans, rinsed
and drained
1 x 400g can artichoke hearts,

CIRCUS PIE
Back in the 70s, my mom and dad took us to the circus whenever it was in town. It was
a thrilling annual event for me and my siblings. One year my mom made a pie to take
with us (we were going with some of their friends). We kids were highly embarrassed
about mom taking padkos to the circus, but the pie was such a hit and so delicious that
we forgot about being embarrassed. Since then my moms special pie has been known
as Circus Pie. She made it from leftover mince, sauce and mashed potatoes, topped with
pastry and baked.

quartered

TUNA PIE
This pie recipe, passed down to me from my mother, is so easy and can be made with
any type of leftovers: mince, chicken, fish for volume you can add peas, corn or grated
baby marrow. When cooked, the pastry has a lovely sponge-like consistency and with no
base to go soggy it is equally delicious the next day.

LENTIL LASAGNE
When I stopped eating meat 40 years ago, vegetarian recipe books did not
exist, so I started experimenting, replacing the meat in recipes with lentils or
vegetables, and adapting the flavouring to suit. I wrote my recipes down in a book
I called Pots Luck. This was one of the most successful.

With the quince season upon us, Im reminded of sitting in the kitchen around
the Welcome Dover stove on a Sunday afternoon, sipping hot coffee and eating
my mothers kweperkluitjie. She inherited this popular Myddleton (a tiny mission
station just outside Caledon) recipe from her mother-in-law, Ouma Dorie, who was
born and bred in Myddleton and probably inherited it from her mother.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
My mum grew up on the island of Bermuda where she was looked after by a lovely
nanny who taught her to how to make chocolate brownies . This recipe has been
passed down through the generations and she is now making them for her own
grandchildren. The only change I have made is to add a handful of raisins before
baking the brownies .

NAARTJIE MARMALADE
Everyone loves a bargain. Imagine my triumph when I scored a pocket of navel
oranges and a box of sweet, juicy naartjies for a mere R20 from my favourite
greengrocer. When I added a bag of lemons from my sisters tree, home-made
marmalade for all was on the menu. My mother loved her fruity spreads and was
always experimenting with marmalade , and this became one of her favourite recipes.
I have to agree with her that you get tremendous satisfaction from making your own
preserves. Orange marmalade or maybe three-fruit marmalade is next on my list.

SCANDINAVIAN SHOOTERS
I am 92 and of Swedish descent, so I have inherited Scandinavian tastes such as the
famous smrgsbord. Among the culinary delights to be found there are the many
herring dishes of which my wife, Jessie, 89, and I have become very fond. Essential
to the enjoyment of herring, however, is akvavit, a liqueur imported from Aalborg
in Denmark, but as time passed the cost of Aalborg akvavit became prohibitive for
pensioners and we started to think of alternatives. After much experimentation Jessie
and I worked out what we considered was a sufficiently satisfactory substitute for the
original. We call it Jessirik akvavit, a combination of our first names.
