Spekkoek (Lapis Legit)

Posted by ~Rita~  

Rita, I haven't made this but picked it up when you answered a question in Q & A and posted the link. I simply HAVE to tell you that this is a splendid recipe: easy enough to see when just reading it. With just husband and me in the house, I... — Zurie Nov 5, 2009

Fish Stew

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by StacL  

MADE FOR PAC, Fall 2009. This recipe can be recommended because it is super easy to make, and highly economical. I did not change anything except discovering I had no parsley, so used finely chopped green onions/spring onions, sorry, StacL!! I... — Zurie Sep 9, 2009

Mushrooms in Sour Cream Sauce

Posted by StacL  

MADE FOR PAC, Fall 2009. All StacL's recipes are easy, but some are a little rich, LOL!! StacL, this was very nice, but I admit I used less sour cream, and olive oil instead of butter. I also used just a little less than 1 lbs mushrooms. Ours come... — Zurie Sep 8, 2009

Creamy Chicken Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by StacL  

MADE FOR PAC, Fall 2009. Didn't change a thing, except we do not have tinned chicken in South Africa. I'd ovenroasted a chicken yesterday, and DH and I both ate a whole leg plus wing each — and the breast part was left! So that was perfect: I... — Zurie Sep 6, 2009

Kentucky Fried Chicken

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Molly53  

Please, cooks, this is not meant to be take-away KFC!!! Molly, thanks, this was great. Instead of ordinary salt I used a local all-purpose seasoning salt containing ground herbs, dried lime zest and ground coriander seeds. I also used a plump... — Zurie Aug 20, 2009

Warm or Cold Potato Garden Salad

Posted by Sharon123  

Made for the Craze-E Contest 2009. As we are only 2, I carefully divided the recipe and made 1/3, using 1 lb of baby potatoes. The recipe should have scored 5 stars, but I found that the salad dressing — not divided up but made as given — was... — Zurie Jul 14, 2009

Fresh Summertime Vegetable Salad

Posted by Dreamer in Ontario  

Made for the Craze-E Contest 2009. This salad was perfectly pleasant and tasty, except that (for a contest recipe) there could have been a little more creativity and flair, which would have upped the stars: that "wow" factor was missing! It was a... — Zurie Jul 14, 2009

Chicken En Casserole

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Molly53  

This is a lifesaver recipe for leftover cooked chicken!! I recommend it heartily and will use it again and again, because it is very versatile and can be tweaked in many ways. It is not haute cuisine, but that is not what is expected here. This... — Zurie Jul 13, 2009

Chicken Liver Stroganoff

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

Delicious and easy! I had just over 1 lb defrosted livers to use up, a little more than in the recipe. I used 1 T chilli sauce because DH is wary of "hot" ...! Also used only 1 T Worcestershire sauce, but added a good splosh of port wine. I let... — Zurie Jul 7, 2009

Pork Chops With Sauerkraut and Apple

Posted by duonyte  

A lovely recipe. It's so easy to make, and can be recommended for people who like sauerkraut (like us)! It won't set the world on fire, but we really liked it! With it, we had beans in tomato sauce, fresh peas, and plain boiled potatoes. I think... — Zurie Jun 23, 2009

Olive and Lemon Chicken

Posted by Amanda in Adelaide  

I expected a surprisingly strong flavour, but (surprisingly!) the dish is gentle in flavour! My stars still mean this is an excellent recipe. I used a whole small chicken, which I cut up (we are 2 people now). I think this dish will lose flavour... — Zurie Jun 11, 2009

Cucumber Salad

Posted by *Mrs. Muffins*  

Made and photographed for PAC March 09. I had to make the recipe smaller, as we are just 2 people eating tonight, but we do gobble up salads. This is a simple, tasty salad of the kind I make often. I do think (even if making the entire recipe for... — Zurie Mar 27, 2009

Baked Cajun Fries

Posted by *Mrs. Muffins*  

Made and photographed for PAC, March 09. Delicious potato strips! Sorry, due to haste in preparing dinner my "strips" turned out somewhat rustic in shape! What I found interesting is that I had all the spices, and we use them all in cooking, but... — Zurie Mar 27, 2009

Auld Alliance: Potted French Blue Cheese and Scotch Whisky Pate

Posted by French Tart  

French Tart, thanks for the brief explanation of the Auld Alliance!! I was a bit vague about that one, and kept confusing it with that song " ... speed, bonny prince ..." etc. etc. "... across the seas to Skye ..." !!! I may just try this with a... — Zurie Mar 25, 2009

Stinky Dried Beef Cheese Ball

Posted by *Mrs. Muffins*  

Made for PAC, March 09. Stinky? You bet NOT!! Delicious!! I had to halve the recipe: we are 2 people. I had to stop DH from digging in, because it's rich. Some explanations: I'm in South Africa and our everyday snack is biltong, which is dried... — Zurie Mar 25, 2009

Simple Stroganoff

Posted by *Mrs. Muffins*  

Made for PAC, March 09. Anyone looking for a truly economical dish for the family? This is it!! It's truly delicious, makes a lot of meaty, saucy topping for pasta — and whatever you do, don't leave out the sour cream! That is the only small... — Zurie Mar 24, 2009

Baked Ricotta With Italian Parsley Salad

Posted by Julie B's Hive  

Reviewed and photographed for PHOTO TAG, March 2009. I tagged this recipe because it was "different"! The ricotta I found happened to be a quite expensive type, and needed no draining. It was soft and delicious. I halved Julie's recipe exactly,... — Zurie Mar 17, 2009
