Spicy Blueberry Ice Cream

Posted by Michael Keizer  

This had a good flavour, but next time I would puree the berry mixture as the end result had whole frozen blueberries in it, which were like big berry-flavoured icy lumps and spoiled the texture. — Jo C Feb 2, 2009

Cuban Blueberry Pudding

Posted by Starfire (aka Wendy)  

This pudding ends up as a sponge pudding sitting on top of blueberry sauce. It was OK, but I think I wouldn't make it again as blueberries are too expensive to make it worthwhile. If you live somewhere where blueberries aren't a luxury, then by... — Jo C Aug 23, 2008

Cold Peanut Noodles

Posted by *Parsley*  

This was great! Nice and easy and I only had to cook the noodles. I only used 5 bundles of dried Chinese noodles (out of a 454g bag of 9 bundles) and there were a lot of noodles. I don't think there would have been enough sauce for more, but... — Jo C Feb 21, 2008

Parmesan Thyme Potato Wedges

Posted by Tee Lee  

We liked these, even though I failed to read the instructions properly and mixed the cheese in at the start. It didn't hurt - they turned out nice and crispy. They were a bit too salty for our liking, so I'd halve the salt next time as well as... — Jo C Feb 13, 2008

Mini Vegetable Frittatas

Posted by Jen T  

These are very good and are easy to make. The sunflower seeds are a good addition, and give a nice crunch as they toast on the top. The only thing I might change the next time I make them is to reduce the amount of oil and/or not grease the... — Jo C Nov 19, 2007

Dense Lemon Squares

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Saguaro  

It really is like a lemon brownie! It's a nice chewy, lemony cake that isn't difficult to make. Make sure that you spread the batter into the corners of the tin because it won't spread much by itself while cooking. Update: I made this again... — Jo C Aug 14, 2007

Broccoli and Walnut Spaghetti

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by PinkCherryBlossom  

This was good, but I think one slice of my homemade bread must be a lot larger than was necessary, and it soaked up all the oil, leaving it a bit dry. Good flavours, though. — Jo C Jul 11, 2007

Cherry Pound Cake

Posted by Tasty Tidbits  

I made this cake as described, using maraschino cherries and almonds. I baked it in a 24cm (9 inch) tube pan and it overflowed in the oven a bit, so I'd recommend a larger tin. I should also have tested it earlier because by 1hr 20min it was... — Jo C May 21, 2007

Swedish Gingersnaps

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Charmie777  

I made these as described but only used 1/2 tsp of ground cloves (that was all I had left) and I used treacle instead of molasses, as I believe that is the usual conversion for non-Americans. The only molasses we get here is blackstrap molasses... — Jo C May 16, 2007

African Beans

I'd forgotten all about this recipe until I saw it here. I have the book that it's from and used to make it often. I made it again tonight so I could post a review and it's very good and very easy to make. Black-eyed beans don't come in tins... — Jo C Apr 16, 2007

Fried Halloumi Cheese With Lime and Caper Dressing

Yummy! You can't go wrong with Delia and halloumi together. I found that flouring the cheese was very messy and not really necessary. — Jo C Apr 11, 2007

White Bean Salad With Lemon and Cumin

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Annacia  

I must confess to cheating and using tinned beans for this recipe (it's too hot to cook real ones!) I used 2 tins of cannelini beans and 2 of chickpeas, but used the dressing as in the original recipe. It's a very good combination. — Jo C Feb 17, 2007

Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes

Posted by Chef Rod 99  

I got up to step 2 in this recipe before realising that the eggs had been left out of the ingredients list. It was too late to make something else, so I guessed and used 2 eggs. It seemed to work OK. These are quite good pancakes, but beware... — Jo C Feb 17, 2007

Corn and Potato Fritters

Posted by PinkCherryBlossom  

Yum! I made this using 2 small omelette pans (one fritter in each), but couldn't put the pans under the grill, so didn't do the melted cheese part. I turned them over and cooked the other side instead, but I'm sure the cheese would have been... — Jo C Jan 2, 2007

Thai Satay Noodles

Butterscotch Pudding on the Ritz

Posted by Cindy Hartlin  

This wasn't bad, but was too sweet for me. I'd reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup next time. I also had trouble with the milk curdling. The first time I tried it I forgot to add the sugar until the milk was quite hot, and not long after I added it the... — Jo C Dec 15, 2006

Spiced Pea Soup

Posted by SolightlyUK  

This isn't bad, but I used home-made curry powder and it was very strong! I'd halve it next time, but you might be OK if yours is less fresh. I used vegetable stock (being vegetarian) and I'd say it only makes 2 or 3 serves, unless you're having... — Jo C Nov 27, 2006

Vegetarian Indonesian Curried Bean Stew
