Subject: A few Marguerite Patten recipe cards
Hello from Australia, 'Uncle Phaedrus'... ;-)
I just purchased an old set of Marguerite Patten recipe cards, but a few cards are missing. I'm currently searching the Internet, trying to find
someone kind enough to scan and send them to me, so I can print them to replace the missing cards. I would of course return the favour for as
many cards as they need replaced.
It is the set in a blue box, with Imperial (non-metric) measurements. (There are different sets apparently.)
All the missing cards are from the "Traditional And Celebration" section:
Card 1 - Christmas Pudding
Card 2 - Christmas Cake
Card 4 - Mince Pies
Card 12 - Honey Angel Cake
Card 13 - Hot Cross Bun
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.
Allan
Hello Allan,
I was able to find scans of all of them except the mince pies:
Christmas Pudding
Christmas Cake
Honey Angel Cake
Hot Cross Buns
All of the recipes on this site are supposed to be Marguerite Patten recipes, and there are two mince pie recipes given:
Marguerite Patten Recipes
More scanned cards:
Scanned Cards 1
Scanned Cards 2
Phaed
Thank you!
Unfortunately the Hot Cross Buns recipe is different. I have that one, in a different section. (For some reason she has two in the set!?
Unless they are the same thing, but no way of telling of course.)
Anyway, thank you again for your great efforts. Much appreciated. ;-)

Subject: Woolworth recipes
I have been looking for the recipe from Woolworths for their macaroni and cheese....also for Woolworths beef meat pies...and for women's bakery for
their hot chicken pie they served at lunch time this bakery was also known as hunts bakery....I hope you help me find these recipes.....thank you....
Hello Sherry,
The Woolworth's recipes that I have already posted are here: Woolworth's Recipes
I have a "tastes-like" recipe for Woolworth's Macaroni & Cheese here: Woolworth's Macaroni & Cheese
The actual Woolworth's recipe from a copy of their kitchen manual is below. Note that this is a cafeteria recipe that makes a large quantity. Sorry, I
can't cut it down for you. See the note below about the "Old English Cheese." I have no idea of the size of the steam table pan.
I will send the beef pie and chicken pie recipes separately.
Phaed
Woolworth's Macaroni & Cheese
This recipe makes 7 lbs 4 ozs of product or 18 seven ounce portions or 42 three ounce portions.
Step 1 - Macaroni (Cook the macaroni the night before.)
water 2 quarts
salt 1 ounce
elbow macaroni 1 pound uncooked (cooked yield - 3 lbs 9 oz) (after standing overnight = 4 lbs 10 oz)
Bring slated water to a boil. Add macaroni. Stir with spoon to prevent sticking together.
Cook gently - about 15 minutes. Drain. Wash in cold water to remove excess starch.
Cover with cold water again and allow to stand overnight in the refrigerator.
Step 2 - Sauce (Prepare day of service.)
shortening 4 ounces (Woolworths used Primex or M.F.B.)
flour 2 ounces
salt 1/2 ounce
black pepper 1/4 teaspoon
Add flour and seasonings to melted shortening. Blend with wire whip until smooth.
Step 3 - Milk
Liquid Non-Fat Skim Milk 1 1/2 quarts
Add warm milk to sauce mixture gradually. Stir with wire whip to prevent lumping.
Bring to a boil and cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4 - Cheese
Old English Cheese* 7 ounces
Break cheese into small pieces and add to sauce as soon as sauce is removed from heat.
Allow to melt and blend until uniform.
Step 5 - Cooked Macaroni
Cooked Macaroni 4 lbs 10 ounces
Drain the cooked macaroni from Step 1 that has been in the refrigerator overnight.
Add it to the sauce and blend.
Step 6 - Pan
Shortening 1/4 ounce
Grease a steam table pan with shortening. Empty the macaroni with sauce into it.
Step 7 - Add Topping and Bake
Old English Cheese* 7 ounces
Grate or crumble cheese (which has been refrigerated). Distribute evenly over top of macaroni so that
the entire top is covered. Bake in a 400° oven until cheese has melted and turned a golden brown.
* This "Old English Cheese" was a solid cheddar block sold by Kraft, not the spread with the same name.
It has been discontinued. Use regular Kraft cheddar or your favorite brand of cheddar. I don't know for
sure if it was mild, medium, or sharp cheddar, but it appears to have been sharp cheddar.
