It's really good - but you do have to trust that it will work. When I re-looked at the recipe over Christmas my sister and I had a huge discussion about the simplicity of the recipe - and with mum not here to tell us it was 'real' we simply trusted her notes. It works as is I assure you! Let me know please.

My very first duck was awesome - I used your Mum's recipe, subbing dry white wine for sherry.
Delicious! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely make this again. Truly simple for such a WOW entree.

Mother's Scrumptious Salad
INGREDIENTS
* 1 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip® or Mayonnaise)
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 5 (15 ounce) cans baby peas, drained
* 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (optional)
* 1 head iceberg lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
* 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
* bacon bits
DIRECTIONS
1. Stir together salad dressing and sugar in a large salad bowl or 9x13 glass baking dish until sugar is dissolved. Add peas and chopped green pepper, if desired, and mix lightly to combine. Spread the pea mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
2. Spread the lettuce in an even layer over the pea mixture, and top the lettuce with a layer of the Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle bacon bits over the cheese.
3. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight to blend flavors.

I had some leftover pumpkin puree and was looking online for a vegan pumpkin soup recipe. I found this one on About.com by Ashley Skabar and tried it last night. It was awesome! Hope you can use this for your cookbook.
Here's the link:

For best results, use a non-dairy alternative that contains carrageenan, which will help keep the liquid stabilized during heating.
Serves 4 to 6
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized leek, white parts only, chopped
- 1 cup chopped apple or pear
- 3 T. sugar
- ¾ t. ground cinnamon
- ½ t. ground ginger
- ¼ t. ground nutmeg
- ½ t. salt, plus more to taste
- 1 15-ounce can low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 15-ounce cans pumpkin puree
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup almond milk or soymilk (see Head Note)
- Pepper, to taste
- Cayenne, for garnishing
- Fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, for garnishing
Preparation:
1. In a medium-large stock pot (3-5 quarts), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the leek, apple, sugar, spices and salt, and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the leek is softened. Add the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the apple pieces are very tender.
2. Stir in the pumpkin puree. Working in batches, puree the mixture in a blender until smooth, adding a bit of the coconut milk and almond milk to each batch until all has been added. Return the soup to the pot and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, to desired temperature. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and fresh herbs or your choice.
