Family and Food: Joyce
http://familyandfood-slender.blogspot.com/2009/10/joyce_28.html
A collecton of food memories. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Joyce McClure (née Slender), who preferred to be known as ‘Joy’, was the youngest of the nine children born to our grandparents. She was definitely a ‘mistake’ and remained very sensitive about this until the end of her life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Sea and Me.

Family and Food: Ivy

A collecton of food memories. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Ivy, first born to Rosina and Fred Slender, was the undisputed culinary star of the family. It has been said that she ‘cooked with love’. Nothing could be truer. I recall summer evenings sitting in the back garden of her Earlwood house, Cocky swearing enthusiastically, “You bugger! She also made Blitz torte by sandwiching two cakes with custard. Each cake had a layer of meringue as well as the cake layer. The meringue layers formed the to...

Family and Food: Our Cousin Vonnie
http://familyandfood-slender.blogspot.com/2009/10/dot.html
A collecton of food memories. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Our Cousin Vonnie (Yvonne) is a 3rd generation foodie. Her grandparents (i.e. her father Norman’s parents), were 1st generation foodies who owned and operated a ‘ham and beef’ store; a forerunner to the delicatessen of today. Ned, one of Yvonne’s two sons, and indeed some of her 5 grand daughters are also showing definite foodie tendencies.

Family and Food: Olive
http://familyandfood-slender.blogspot.com/2009/10/olive.html
A collecton of food memories. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. When cake tins with a recessed base became available Olive made frog-pond cakes for our birthdays. The recess in the cake was filled with diced green jelly, chocolate frogs embedded here and there and the edge piped with cream. Olive was also responsible for introducing other food trends to the family; coleslaw, thousand island dressing, cheesecake and in later years mud cake. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Family and Food: Dawn
http://familyandfood-slender.blogspot.com/2009/10/dawn.html
A collecton of food memories. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. It was Dawn who introduced me to the pleasure of smoked eel. Don’t be put off by the thought of it! Smoked eel is surprisingly delicious. If you can get guests to overcome their abhorrence of eels, this pâté will win lots of converts. My mother-in-law, a great lover of these slithery fish, taught me to look for eels that are not too fat. They are too oily and don’t have a nice flavour. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
