Something different for decorating a pavlova.
I made individual pavlova's for dinner yesterday. was going to decorate them with whipped cream and boysenberries, then decided to make a change - I'd made Boysenberry Jam on Christmas Eve. so added 2 large tablespoons of the jam to the contents of a bottle of cream, and whipped them together. a lovely pink colour, and with boysenberries on top, it was truly delicious. highly recommended.

More an idea than a recipe: for wedding favours, make your favourite truffle/rumball/cakeball etc, a little smaller than usual, and dip a third in dark choc, a third in milk choc and a third in white choc.Put one of each colour in long thin cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon to match the wedding colours/theme.Looks very stylish and many truffles etc can be made ahead and frozen, and dipped closer to the day.Can also dip them in nuts or sprinkle one with silver balls/coloured hearts etc.

Sorry forgot to say - that idea is better for smaller weddings as you have to do 'the guest list times three' amount of truffles :-)

Tamari Nut Mix 250g mixed nuts (almonds, brazil nuts, peanuts, walnuts), 125g pepitas (peeled pumpkin seeds), 125g sunflower seeds, 125 g cashew nuts, 125g macadamia nuts, and ½ cup tamari. Preheat oven to slow 140c. Lightly grease two large baking trays. Place all nuts and seeds in a large bowl. Pour the tamari over the mix and toss together well, coating them evenly in the tamari. Leave for 10 minutes. Spread the mixture evenly over the baking trays and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until dry roasted. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Once stored the nuts could go soft, just spread them out on baking trays and bake on slow 150c for 5-10 minutes.

wedding for 16. I was told by a good friend to justcook one meat and gravy with veges instead of several choices of meatsfor a wedding. But to have lots of it. Would this be a good idea. my thoughts were: Lamb, ham, cornbeef. prawns in seafood sauce.mashed potato's peas, coleslaw, german beetroot salad. buns also. brianmac howdoesthis look.

Fruit Tarts 1c flour, 1/4c custard powder, 1/4c icing sugar, 40g butter, 2 tbsp low-fat milk, 2 x 130g tubs low-fat strawberry fromage frais or light strawberry Fruche, 100g ricotta, strawberries, blueberries, kiwifruit and 2 tbsp apricot jam. Grease eight 7cm loose base flan tins or similar. Mix flour, custard powder, icing sugar and butter in a food processor until fine crumbs form, then add enough milk to form a soft dough. Gather in a ball, wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200c. Divide the dough into eight portions and roll out to line the tins. Cover with paper and rice and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and rice and bake a further 10 minutes or until golden. Cool and remove from tins. Mix the fromage frais and ricotta until smooth. Spread over pastry bases and top with assorted fruit. Heat the jam until liquid, then brush over the fruit to glaze.

Hi nismo_femme. If one is very busy and would like easy ways then a place in Avodale called " Fresh and Frozen". They (I think) could be on-line but one can request a copy of their catalogue which contains a variety of frozen pre-pared items that one can use as nibbles, like miniature spring roll, crumbe prawn cutlets, heaps of others. Be worth checking into. They do deliver as well. Cheers

Hi Nismo_femme Can you give an indication what or a particular line of nibbles or food items you are looking for. There are quite so many but then it depends on taste and cost or time one has as you have noted prior re ' not having much time '. Cheers :)))))))

im looking for something that would take no more than an hour to prepare/cook, preferably something savoury as im going to make cupcakes the day before but the party is around dinner time for about 15-20 people. I want them to think i spent ages on them and be all like oooh wow sam ur so awesome and that, you know, that old chestnut.

Hi, hoped you have seen some on this thread . such as 'mini pizzas, Thai Chic balls, prawn toasts' all by Brianmac and 'hot savoury' by grannymum. A quick idea is to slice up a nice sausage roll into say 1cm thick, grill and toast each side and serve with a nice dip. Brushettos and others I will add in following posts. Cheers and let us know of further thoughts.
