Dishes that are worth their salt
A Trove Community member loved this recipe for Spanish Rice (you might know this better as Paella) from The Australia Women’s Weekly.
In The Capricornian, we found another ‘tried and tested’ recipe that’s so simple it wasn’t even given a name.
In our ‘a world of recipes’ blog the “Afrikaans beef custard” recipe piqued the Trove Community’s interest. While the name given to this recipe is showing the cookbook’s age. This South African culinary classic is more commonly known as Bobotie, a curried beef casserole topped with egg custard.
