With a new start to the blogging year, I couldn't help but look back at all the yummy photos that didn't make it to the blog in 2009. So I'm dedicating this first month to my rather large blog back-log.

Amongst some very delectable meals are these images from a lunch event in late October with Fountain Sauces. Thanks to the lovely Prue from The Mint Partners, I was at the table with the likes of Julie Goodwin (winner of Masterchef Australia '09), Margaret Fulton (Australia's greatest food guru) and Sarah Hobbs (food editor at Notebook).

The purpose of the event was to welcome Julie to the Fountain family. Like many Aussies, I have fond memories of a bottle of Fountain Tomato Sauce being my trusted companion to meat pies, sausage rolls and almost anything else I could get away with eating. And as I've grown up, I've learnt that sauces can be used in many other gourmet ways when paired with fresh produce.

Fountain's great new website shares with us these hints, tips and cheats - a few of which I had the pleasure of tasting:

P.S. Julie has confessed to reading food blogs :)

Ahh I was waiting for this post! So sad that I couldn't make it there as I had something on the same day. My mum always uses Fountain tomato sauce when cooking her Singapore chilli crab :)

Oh yum, Singapore chilli crab! You'll have to share her recipe one day ;)

Ah yes, the old tomato sauce bottle with meat pies, that's what I think of when I think Fountain sauce.. now I know there is so many more possibilities! thanks!

Hope you enjoy the recipes! It's so nice to know that the iconic sauces have grown up with us... from meat pie to home cooking :-P

I loved fountain sauces they serenaded thousands of my childhood lunch banquets which included a Meat pie, moove chocolate mild and of course a splatter of Fountain Tomato sauce! Awesome pix as always Jen!

Oh yes, the Moove milks were the perfect accompaniment, hehe...

Fountain sauce with meat pies. Fab! Great post and lovely pictures as always :)

Thanks Ellie! I should probably do a poll on how people add the sauce to the meat pie. I think i'm one of many who lift up the crust and have it with a swirl of sauce then mix more sauce into the filling :D

hey those brownies look yummy! i feel like baking a batch now hee hee
