The grandmother is coming over for tea tomorrow. It's the first time she will be attending our house for a meal and i feel the need to tell her (thru my brilliant cooking) that i can take care of the cooking. There isn't a lot in the cubbards so i know i've got to go shopping. The problem is, i have no idea what to make! It definately needs to be easy, vegetarian and use australian ingredients.
(side note: the other day i bought a cook book that was organised into ingredients. It was great cause you say, i've got this in my fridge what can i make with it. and the book would tell you. The only problem is i found on a much closer inspection that 90% of the recipies were for an American household. i couldn't get a lot of the ingredients unless i went to a very specialised store....probably in the middle of sydney. in short, the book was useless to me)
so back to the problem at hand...what do i make to impress my grandmother-in-law? It probably needs to be some sort of varient on an English recipie. So no grand japanese food tomorrow!
I suppose i could do a quiche...or a vegetable bake. Anyone else have some brilliant ideas in time for tea?

two minute noodles!!! :D
Can't Chris do the cooking?
What about putting vegetabels (carrots, pepper/paprika, leeks, beans, potatos, sweet corn etc.) in aluminium foil and cook it in the oven. With the veggies you can have some garlice (I'd prefer whole), olive oil, salt and pepper.
Perhaps put sundried tomatos for more flavour.
Maybe a pie with ice cream for dessert? Since the actual food is very light.
I know it's a bit late and I should have checked out your blog earlier, but there's some cool recipes on www.epicurious.com :) You can search by ingredient there, too.
10% of the cookbook is useful. That is a good cookbook. One can never expect to be able to use all the recipes in a cookbook. -CJ.
