I think I have an addiction to old cookbooks - I love the dreadful (IMO anyway recipes).
Anyway - here are a couple of examples!
Pineapple and Cheese Mould:
8oz Cottage Cheese
Pineapple Chunks
1 pkt Lemon or Lime Jelly
Chopped Chives
Salt and Pepper
Walnuts
Disolve the jelly in pineapple juice and water. Put a little into 6 jelly moulds and part set in the freezer. Then arrange ingredients (except the cottage cheese) in moulds and top up with the remainder of the jelly mixed with the cottage cheese. Set in the freezer. Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce and dress with sour cream, garlic, lemon juice and paprika to taste.
Fillet Fish (with Bananas)
3 -4 fillets of fish (plaice, sole etc)
Small amount of cream
1/2 glass White Cooking Wine
Salt and Pepper
Knob of Butter
Breadcrumbs
2 Bananas
2oz Mushrooms
Saffron
Butter a baking dish. Cut the bananas ins tips and arrange on the greased dish. Slice the mushrooms and sprinkle them over the bananas then lay the fillets on top. Season with salt and pepper and some saffron and then pour the wine over. Cover with greased paper and cook in a hot oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the paper, ad a little cream to the sauce and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and dot with butter. Return to the oven for a few more moments.
Mmmmmm!
