Yummy Thai DressingThis marinade/dressing is delicious on a Thai-style salad with steak or chicken slices, mango slices, chinese noodles or whatever you like!

Grandma Betty’s Mint PickleThis was a recipe my Grandma made with her friends after the summer’s mint crop was harvested from the garden. It was nice on lamb.

Dad’s San Marzano Tomato SauceThis recipe would be similar to 'Old Fart's spaghetti sauce', except vegetarian. Makes about 12 cups (enough to feed a big Italian family with plenty of leftovers!)

Pork Roast Marinade

spicy saté chili paste for tasty instant noodle soupI use this with Pho Ga soup to add the spiciness. It also is great to add in a jar with some cooked noodles and veggies to take for lunch - just add some water. I always add sundried tomatoes as well. From The Happy Foodie (Nadiya’s Time to Eat on Netflix) It's also great on other foods to add a little spicy flavour!

Asian sauces – Szechuan Sauce, Hoisin Sauce and Peanut SauceThis recipe is from someone I met somewhere down the line called 'Mildred'. They are nice with rice noodles, tofu, stir-fried veggies or eggs. Please note that this is not a photo of sauces, but it is a beautiful asian lady in a pink field. Maybe her name is Mildred.

Teriyaki SauceGrandma used to make these with pork cutlets, but the sauce itself is usable for many things.

Avgolemono Sauce for vegetables (Greek Tapas)

Peanut butter dipping sauceGreat on meat skewers - makes about 1-1/3 cups

Old Fart’s Spaghetti SauceWe all love Dad's special spaghetti sauce. Every time we see him he makes a pot of it for us. Yum. This recipe makes about 20 servings.

Grandma’s BBQ sauceA perennial favourite! Use to baste meat, marinate chicken before cooking it, pour over sausages for baking, or on top of a meatloaf. Yummy!

Italian BruschettaYum yum yum. Best thing to do with a fresh loaf of bread.
