A Spanish dish, Almejas a la Marinera is clams steamed in white wine and covered with a sauce of tomatoes, onions and garlic. If clams are not available small oysters or cockles can be substituted. This dish may be served as a main course with buttered rice, cooked with a bay leaf, and a salad of lettuce and spring onions [scallions]. For a first course halve the quantities and serve with crusty rolls or French bread.
Adapted from an old Romanian recipe, Alivenci can be served with a salad as an unusual lunch or light supper dish. Sprinkled lightly with icing [confectioner's] sugar and accompanied by a hot fruit sauce it is a delicious dessert.
A Tunisian dish, Ajja is easy to prepare and can be served at lunch or an informal dinner. Although the Tunisians use a great deal of cayenne pepper in this dish, the first time you make it, unless your palate is accustomed to very hot food, it might be wise to use only a few grains.
A traditional, inexpensive English pudding, this is an appealing dessert for an informal family lunch or dinner. It should be served hot and can be accompanied by cream or custard sauce. It is easy to make, but care must be taken when preparing the sponge topping.
A raised pie is a must for the traditional picnic hamper. It is easy to pack and carry and excellent accompanied with some cranberry or redcurrant jelly. Although special raised pie tins (pans) are available, in this case I prefer to use a deep loose-bottomed cake tin (pan).
