There are times when it is just so damn...traditional. I find myself saying things like ‘the classics are classics for a reason.’ The cookbooks I’m collecting are published by the Australian Women’s Weekly. I find myself craving things like a sausage. On white bread. With tomato sauce. Could this be my palate’s backlash against the multicultural Australian table? Will I be reduced to eating meat and three boiled veg the rest of my days?!]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/11/pavbloghop/feed/ 26 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/02/lemonade-scones/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/02/lemonade-scones/#comments Thu, 24 Feb 2011 18:59:13 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=977 However, memories of my father cooking when I was a child are few and far between. I remember him standing over his home-made barbie in front of the veggie patch, searing sausages and steaks while my mum prepped the classics- potato salad with mayo and hard-boiled eggs, ‘normal’ salad of lettuce, tomato, carrot and tasty cheese, and my least favourite, cold curried rice, with those dreaded sultanas. The only other thing I remember my Dad making was scones. Or should I say, his version of scones, which is pretty much damper. The ingredients are self-raising flour, water, or sometimes milk if he’s feeling particularly decadent, and sultanas, which he mixes into a dough, shapes into a mound, bakes, slices and serves piping hot with margarine and honey.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/02/lemonade-scones/feed/ 12
