I think this is my all time favourite Rosemary dessert. It’s between that and her cheesecake. My preference was to eat this when it’s still a little warm, so the filling is gooey and the crust is crumbly. Add cream = HEAVEN. Photo by Alex Lvrs on Unsplash Ingredients: Method: Crust Filling Combine

Mum’s Pavlova
I’ve made this recipe a bunch of times and it always works. I think it’s the little things that Rosemary taught me: make sure the egg whites are at room temperature, make sure your mixing bowl is small and super clean, no oil residues. It was generally a summer or christmas dessert, but occasionally she…
Peach Kuchen Country Style
This was one of her all time favourites. I loved it, but found it extremely rich after about the third slice! The image shows more of a peach pie, but Rose made her kuchen in a lamington tin, so it looks like a peach slice. I still have the very same tin in my kitchen,…
Simple Chicken Curry
This is the most basic of chicken curry recipes, which means you can’t go wrong. Bush cooks didn’t have a huge stock of herbs and spices at their disposal, so they had to make do with basics. Clive of India curry powder was a favourite. In those days, there weren’t a lot of curry pastes…
Chocolate Sauce Special
When ingredients were limited, and obtaining fresh fruit was a bit hit and miss, Rosemary had a couple of good dessert sauce recipes up her sleeve to put on icecream. She always had a can of evaporated milk in the cupboard, and a packet of cocoa. This one got her VG tick (Very Good!). Ingredients:…
Ginger Delight
I still remember when Rosemary first brought this dessert into her repertoire. The combination of ginger, pineapple, and tart yoghurt really tickled our tastebuds. This became a regular dessert when she was older and cooking for less people. These days, I can hardly read the writing for the stains. There are many similar recipes out…
The Ultimate Chilli Con Carne
Every time I think of Rosemary’s chilli con carne, my mouth waters. She used to like to serve it with rice or mashed potato, and corn on the cob. But over the years, I’ve used this recipe for tacos, and nacho’s, and have even served it just with crusty bread and a garden salad. If…
Best Moist Fruit Cake
Rosemary had a love for cake, which she handed on to her children. It grew from the important routine of morning and afternoon teas, which broke up the long days of manual labour on the farm. In her early married life, she used a boiler and an old wringer to do the washing. She often…
Quick Chicken Bake
Rosemary loved a good casserole, but sometimes didn’t get a chance to plan ahead and use her beloved crock pot. When she needed a tasty evening meal in a hurry she would throw this together and serve it with buttery mashed potatoes and green vegetables. Ingredients Method Preparation Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 30-35 mins…
Ro’s Scones
Rosemary’s scones filled many a hungry stomach on the farm at morning tea time. Whether she was making them for a team of shearers or her visiting city friends, she would bundle them up in a bright, fresh tea towel, pop them in a basket, and serve them with jam, butter, and cream and steaming…
