French Onion & Beef Stew (with cheesy topping) & Date Cake

Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry (& fried rice) and Mango & Passionfruit Cream Crumble
The thing I love about Julie Goodwin is that she has three boys and really gets the whole family meal thing. I bet her boys asked her as they walked out the door to school – “hey Mum, what’s for dinner?” Like every day!
Steak with Escalivada & Manchego Butter and Minimisus
“Escalivada is a Catalan salad of smoky roasted vegetable. Its name is derived from the verb ‘escalivar’, which means ‘to cook in hot ashes’.” Vallli Little
Barbecued Sausage Rolls with Beer-braised Onions & Lamingtons
I’m not a sausage lover, however, these beautiful, classy BBQ’d sausages in a roll take this humble traditional fund-raiser to a whole new level.
Gourmet Beef Casserole & Coffee Pistachio Roll
This casserole is an oldy but a goody. I have been cooking this for about 35 years and without fail it is always a conversation stopper. People are too busy eating and mopping up the gravy with the bread topping to talk!
Beef Stroganoff (slow-cooker style) & Lemon Mascarpone Sponge Cake
Slow cooking makes everyones life easier, whether you are a busy mum, active retiree, working full time or all of the above, being able to put dinner on first thing in the morning and forget about it is definitely a plus all round. This delicious Beef Strog was a real winner with the family and the leftovers were had on toast.
Beef & Beer Pie with Caramel Apples
The filling AND the pastry for this delicious Beef & Beer Pie can be made a day ahead; keep refrigerated and stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out.
Corned Beef with Maple Mustard Glaze & Little Salty Caramel Meringue Pies
This Corned Beef is a little bit different because it goes from the slow cooker to the oven for the Maple Glaze and to brown up the vegies.
Brisket Ragu with Mushrooms & Parmesan Mash & Apple Crumble with Salted Caramel
Slow cooking a brisket of beef is an easy and economical meal the whole family will love.
