Can be frozen for about 3 months. They can be served warm or cold but after freezing they are better crisped up in the oven for about 10 minutes at above temperature.

Salmon Tarts

Editors Note: You will probably notice that this recipe has some oddities within the text (e.g. giving you the choice of 1-2oz sugar, no real instructions about how to make the base...) - we can only assume that this is a recipe that Sheila was pretty familiar with and that the handwritten page she filed here was more for her own records than for public consumption.

Citrus Cheesecake

Can be frozen if salmon has not already been frozen. Serve with drinks.

Smoked Salmon Tartlets

Editors note: This recipe was much more a 'scrawl' than many of the recipes from the collection. We're assuming this is something that Sheila cooked regularly and had made only the briefest notes and prompts to remember quantities. We've taken a few liberties with the wording here to try and make it read more coherently as a set of instructions but you're probably going to need to use a bit of intuition if you decide to make this yourself.

Frangipane Fruit Boats

Editors note: This is not a typo - there is no "cooking time" specified on this recipe! If anyone bakes this and could let us know how long roughly it takes, that'd be fab!

Viennese Apple Pie

These tarts can be frozen at the end of step 3.

A footnote was scrawled in handwriting at the bottom of this printed recipe sheet:

Cheering Easter Tarts

After Eight Cheesecake

A lovely pudding for the winter, although served cold with whipped cream is equally delightful.

Pear and Almond Tart

Would not recommend freezing, but bases can be made two or three days beforehand and then filled.


Toffee, Pear & Walnut Flan

There are lots of recipes for cheesecakes and I have tried most. This simple one is a great favourite with my friends and especially the girls in my husband's office who sample it each Christmas.

Mandarin and Kiwi Cheesecake

Christmas time is party time - this recipe would be suitable for the buffet table or as finger food at an informal gathering. This will freeze, which will be handy for the busy housewife (sic).

This slice will freeze for 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat for 10 minutes at the above temperature.


Ham and Cheese Savoury Slices

This quiche freezes well. Thaw fully before reheating if nessecary for 10 minutes at the above setting.


Tuna and Sweetcorn Quiche

This is a great favourite with the Inglewood Infants School staff. No wonder she can't lose weight! (sic)

Will freeze well in suitable containers for 3 months.


Party Flan

These are a great standby in the freezer. When unexpected guests call, just take a few out and warm them in the oven. Instead of tuna, try crab meat or salmon.

Can be frozen for about 3 months. They can be served warm or cold but after freezing they are better crisped up in the oven for 10 minutes at the above temperature.
