Baking with Sheena II

Today I finished transcribing all 123 of Gran's hand-written recipes.  The Australian Tea Cake card is my favourite, because of the warning at the top.

Recipes 19, 23, 59 and 106 are all for chicken liver paté, which either means that she really loved it, or could never find a recipe she liked.  The recipe for beetroot chutney is covered in purple splatters.

There are also three recipes for Banana Loaf, which Gran made often to dispose of overripe bananas. According to Lynne, she latterly preferred the recipe from the Callum's Trust Home Baking Book (marked Favourite), which has far more sugar.  I hate banana bread, but now I'm tempted to make four in the name of science.
