:: Project Yellow Box :: Requests?!

September 28, 2010

Hello!

Did you know that I have been cooking my way through the 1970s issue Australian Women’s Weekly Recipe Cards?  They sit in a yellowing plastic box with a clear lid : in sets of 24 and in various categories.  I know that a lot of people grew up with this recipe box (like me!) and will have a favourite recipe from it.  There are hundreds of recipes in the box, you know.  And did you know that Bridgette emailed me to ask about the Cherry Cake recipe in the box… it was her birthday favourite.  Maybe you are like Bridgette and have a recipe you would like us to have a go at?!  Why don’t you have a think about that and let me know if you do!
I will dig it out and add it to the pile we are making!

Here are the ones we have done so far….

Recipe 1 :: Toffees
Recipe 2 :: Easy Mix Butter Cake
Recipe 3 :: Chicken Pie
Recipe 4 :: Fish and Chips
Recipe 5 :: Emmenthaler Schnitzel
Recipe 6 :: Family Chocolate Cake
Recipe 7 :: Meatloaf With Barbecue Sauce
Recipe 8 :: Tuna Casserole
Recipe 9 :: Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding
Recipe 10 :: Chicken In Nectar
Recipe 11 :: Baked Rigatoni
Recipe 12 :: Chicken Pot Roast
Recipe 13 :: Orange Cake
Recipe 14 :: Beef In Black Bean Sauce
Recipe 15 :: Hamburgers
Recipe 16 :: Health Potato Salad
Recipe 17 :: Coconut Ice

What were your favourites?! Have you cooked any of the recipes above?  Do you love coconut ice?!

xx Pip

    Hello Pip! I’ve been SEARCHING SEARCHING SEARCHING for a recipe from the AWW Recipe Cards from all those years ago. In an insane moment of clearing out, I threw my entire set out. I don’t suppose you have the recipe for a ROASTED TENDERLOIN or FILET OF BEEF recipe with a BLACK CHERRY SAUCE, which was made from tinned pitted black cherries???? I’m desperate for it!

    Hi Pip, I am looking for a recipe for Cherry Madeira Cake. This recipe was in the Christmas Section and I think there may have been two Christmas Sections. I have made the cake many times but I have lost mine in a move. I cannot remember all the ingredients. I still have my Recipe Box but have lost this one card. This was a beautiful cake that I made as a Christmas Cake because my Family love light Christmas Cakes. Do you have this card I would be so grateful if you could advise me the ingredients and method. Thank you.

    To this day I am still using the Meatloaf with Barbecue Sauce recipe – just love it. Sadly I gave away the recipes many years ago but kept some.

    I am looking for the recipe for the Almond Biscuits (almond in the middle).

    Hope you can help.
