STEAK SLICE WITH LEMON AND THYME
This recipe, or rather the method, was suggested to me by my agent Ed Victor, and so is known familiarly as Ed's Tender Rump. The method is this: instead of marinading the meat before cooking, you marinade it after -- and it really does keep it extraordinarily tender. Please feel free to play around with the herbs; I think Ed himself uses oregano rather than the thyme I love. I love this with broccoletti or those leggy tenderstem broccoli. A couple of packets, lightly cooked and then drained and placed in the marinade after the beef's out and sliced, is the most heavenly accompaniment. And I can't tell you how good both steak and broccoli are cold later.

Steps:
- Cut away the fat from around the edge of the steak while you heat a griddle or pan.
- Brush the steak with oil to prevent it sticking to the griddle or pan, and then cook for 3 minutes a side plus 1 minute each side turned again (this gives you pretty griddle marks) for desirably rare meat; the lemon in the post-hoc marinade 'cooks' it a little more.
- While the steak is cooking, place the thyme leaves, garlic, oil, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper in a wide shallow dish.
- Once the steak is cooked, place it in the dish of marinade for 4 minutes a side, before removing it to a board and slicing thinly on the diagonal.

SLICE OF LEMON PIE II
My friend Minnie gave me a copy of the Holiday Cooking 2005 from the Harvey County Independent, a paper that serves her hometown. I saw this recipe in there and I had to try it. It was so good! It was so tart! It mellowed a little over the next few days, but it was still so good.

GINGER & LEMON SLICE
This is a very simple slice to make. It's a great everyday recipe and a slice with a cuppa is divine. It's Gluten Free but can be made also using regular wheat flour (all-purpose flour ) with success too. If you use GF flour, nobody would guess that this slice is gluten free

NO-BAKE LEMON SLICE
This no-bake slice can be made in a just a few minutes, although it does need time to set before it is ready to be eaten. NOT for those who don't like lemons but for the rest of the world, great for lunch boxes, picnics or potlucks! Another recipe I've adapted from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The conversions you may need: 125g = 4oz; 400g = just under 13oz; 250g = 8oz. Marie biscuits are a plain sweet biscuit. You could also use Granita biscuits or shortbreads. You could

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Well grease and line a large 27 x 27 cm pan (10.5" x 10.5") pan and set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, flour and butter until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add the eggs and beat to combine, it will look like big fat breadcrumbs - this is correct.
- 3. Tip 2/3 of the mixture (or there abouts) into the pan and flatten evenly out using your fingers. Tip the prepared lemon curd/butter over the base (we always use 2 cups of lemon butter/curd due to liking a more gooey centre and extra lemon flavour). Use your fingers to crumble the remaining dough on top - as evenly as you can.
- 4. Bake in the prepared oven for about 35- 40 minutes, it should look just golden on on top. Cool in the tin. Remove and slice into squares and store in an air tight container.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma for lemon slice recipes.
- Slice lemons thinly: Thinly sliced lemons will cook more evenly and absorb the flavors of other ingredients better.
- Remove the seeds: Removing the seeds from lemons will help prevent bitterness.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Lemon slices can be baked, broiled, grilled, or fried. Each cooking method will produce a different flavor and texture.
- Add lemon slices to your favorite recipes: Lemon slices can be added to a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, stews, and desserts.
- Experiment with different flavor combinations: Lemon slices pair well with a variety of flavors, including herbs, spices, and other fruits. Experiment to find your favorite combinations.
Conclusion:
