ISO Old / Traditional Recipes

[Cheese-lovers]

hi, Were looking for old and traditonal (to any country) recipes that we could use for a SACE stage 2 Food &Hospitality course (in Australia) that woulden't be too expensive and that can be altered to suit a modern day Restaurant or Cafe in Australia. Oh and I(Krysten) am a Vegitarian so no meat please.

Any help would be greatly Appreciated. Thankyou

It might help if you were a bit more specific.

Do you want a main course? Side dishes?

Am a bit confused as you say you want it for a course and then for a restaurant menu.

Have some ideas, but am not sure what you want.

ok, sounds like something like this:
old: mixed vegetables, boiled, buttered, served.
new: select a variety of root vegetables: turnip, parsnip, carrot, potato, etc (your choice of what is available)...slice on bias in medium pieces, sprinkle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, thyme, chili flakes, roast in 400*F oven until lightly browned and tender, flipping occasionally...30 min or so. rough chop together, mix and serve...test for seasoning, garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

fresh, colorful, very tasty, vegetarian, not too dear. enjoy

feild peas with snaps
creamed corn both of these are older recipes

newer-glazed carrots-veggie stir fry
also veggie au gratin is good and newer

Well first thing that comes to mind is some sort of filled pasta. Traditionally, Italian ravioli and Polish pierogi are filled with cheese. But nouveau cuisine has them stuffed with butternut squash, pureed green peas, pumpkin, etc. and served with fried sage leaves in butter sauce.

But, as auntdot said, we could help you better if you narrowed your request a little. :-)

Just an idea.

Portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese and whatever else you want.

Just Google for recipes.

Serve surrounded with small piles of deep fried matchsticks of carrot, potato, beet, and parsnip.

Put a bit of tomato comfit on the plate and it would look nice, and I think taste OK.

I hate trying to come up with veggie menus, it makes me think too hard.

Here are a few suggestions:

Red beans & rice
Hoppin' John (black-eye peas & rice)
Bean burritos
Cabbage rolls with mushroom/rice filling
Pasta primavera
Potato leek soup

One more question...what kind of vegetarian are you? Do you eat eggs and chese?

[Cheese-lovers]

I am an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian (i still eat dairy products and eggs). I'm sorry but my teacher told me today that it has to be Traditional to Australia or England. Any Ideas
