A Singaporean friend told me when she first came to Australia, she was invited to a party and asked to bring a plate. And that's what she did - brought a plate along, not understanding that she was supposed to bring something on the plate as well to share with others! A great way to entertain without one person having to provide all the food, and you always get such a diversity of goodies. And here's a popular, no fuss, 'bring a plate' recipe for morning or afternoon tea with family and friends. Special thanks to Matthew, aged 11, whom I have the pleasure of watching him grow up, for road testing this recipe at his home kitchen.
