A lovely, moist cake made with cherry jam (St Dalfour Fruit Spread), although other jam flavours would work equally well. The cake can also be served as a dessert with cream.

Fruity Muesli Bars

I replaced the chopped walnuts with slivered almonds. The bars were very pleasant, although slightly too sweet and a little on the crumbly side. I would probably reduce the brown sugar to 1/4 cup next time and add slightly more melted butter and cook fractionally longer and at a cooler temperature.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sweet and slightly chewy cookies. To add some 'body' and improve the chewy texture I may add some shredded coconut or rolled oats next time. Chopped nuts could also be a nice addition. Makes 16.

Delicious served warm with sliced banana, whipped cream and maple syrup (as a quicker alternative to the 'Honeycomb Butter').

A bit of trivia here. According to the cookbook, the addition of pineapple to fruit cake was typical of Australian pioneer cooking, where abundant local ingredients were incorporated into traditional British recipes.

Caramel Chocolate Slice

I believe a 'slice' is the Australian equivalent of the American 'tray bake'.

The Pressure Cooker Recipe Book

Beef with Guinness

I use a Tefal Pressure Cooker and agree that 35 minutes (high pressure) is necessary to ensure the meat is fully softened to a melt-in-the-mouth consistency. I tweaked the recipe slightly by adding an extra carrot and a little sugar as I found the stew slightly bitter. Looking forward to seeing how the flavours have melded in the leftover portion sitting in my fridge.
