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

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

Christmas creeps up so quickly, so I thought I'd add one or two recipes to help you out.

Can be frozen.

Editor's note: We found that this amount of pastry made around 24 pies, for which we needed approximately 600g of mincemeat. We did find ourselves a bit short on the topping though, so consider making 1.5 - 2x as much.


Viennese Mince Pies

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.

Tuna Tarts

Cut into small pieces for cocktail parties, larger pieces for buffets. If you are using anchovies soak them in milk first to remove the salty taste.

Wrap in foil and freeze whole. Reheat covered from frozen for about 20 minutes as above.


Cocktail Pizza

Will freeze.

We found that this recipe made approximately 24 pies and we used around 600g of mincemeat.
