Hershey's Chocolate Cake With Frosting

Posted by Lydia's Mama  

This is a fabulous cake - I have been making them in cup cakes, and they are so YUM! Would highly recommend, as they deliver on flavour being moist, rich and chocolatey, but so easy to make as well. I LOVE easy to mix cakes!!! — Tansy. Nov 23, 2009

Filet of Beef W/Blue Cheese Sauce

Posted by Wildflour  

I loved this and so did my guests! I used what we call in NZ scotch fillet because my butcher convinced me that it has better flavour than eye fillet or beef tenderloin as mentioned in the recipe. The sauce was universally loved by my guests, and... — Tansy. Mar 24, 2009

Haricots Verts, Roasted Fennel and Shallots

Posted by Trinkets  

I will make this again, because I had to make the dish without the fennel bulbs. My husband went to every green grocer in town trying to find them, but they are a bit of a specialty here and need to be ordered. However, I followed the rest of the... — Tansy. Mar 24, 2009

Gr8 Green Salad With Lemon, Garlic Vinaigrette

Posted by Trinkets  

I really loved this, though it was really tangy, so may add a little sugar to the dressing next time. Maybe we have very juicy lemons in NZ! However, the flavours and texture was fantastic, thank you. — Tansy. Mar 24, 2009

Figs in Mavrodaphne Wine With Manouri Cheese

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

The fig lovers in this family really loved this dessert - the others found it challenging! I loved it, and that is what counts, so it gets 5 stars! It probably did not taste as it would from the country of origin, because I could not get the... — Tansy. Oct 13, 2008

Easiest Chicken Pot Pie

Posted by anchor girl  

I didn't actually follow this recipe, but more the idea of it, and it was voted a winner by the family and they all came back for seconds. I made a suet crust for the pastry, used a can of corn and chicken soup, to which I added left over gravy... — Tansy. Aug 18, 2008

Real Southern Cornbread

Posted by P4  

Fabulous corn bread. This was the first time I had made it in a skillet and it turned out perfect, crusty on the outside and melt in the mouth inside. I added an extra tablespoon of sugar after reading other reviews and it was just right for us.... — Tansy. Jul 29, 2008

We all loved this. Was quick and easy. Prepared all the veges first, sliced the meat and it was made in a flash. Also added green beans fresh from the garden that had been par-boiled. Will make this often. I used Udon noodles because I love... — Tansy. Feb 19, 2008

Michigan Meatballs

These meatballs were lovely and moist with a great flavour. Will make these again, and so easy to make with the tins of soup added for gravy. I actually halved the recipe and just used one can of soup, and since some of the family are "mushroom"... — Tansy. Oct 21, 2007

Easy Breakfast Casserole

This is something that would be considered unusual for breakfast in NZ, especially serving it with a bowl of fresh fruit as suggested. Also, was unsure of what the chicken stove top stuffing mix was like, but purchased some stuffing mix that... — Tansy. Sep 10, 2007

Made this for dinner last night and really enjoyed them. Got gobbled up by teenage son. He does not like onions or peppers, so cooked them seperately and it was fine to load them on the totillas as part of the topping. Some of us used salsa,... — Tansy. Mar 26, 2007
