Honey-Glazed Chops with Apricot Sauce

Garnish with sliced tomato and a sprig of parsley.

Mediterranean 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

These make a nice refreshing end to a nice Christmas dinner.

This may be made in advance and frozen in suitable containers.


Oranges in Cointreau

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

These little savouries freeze well and are nice to serve with drinks. With thanks to Karen M for the photo.

To serve, warm slightly for about 5 minutes at the above temperature. Will freeze.


Salmon Pinwheels

These are much tastier than the ordinary roasted drumsticks. Have plenty of paper napkins around when serving as they are sticky to handle.

May be frozen if you wish, but I prefer to cook them the day before needed.


Devilled Chicken Drumsticks

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.
