Roasted Onion & Mushroom Soup

Posted by Katzen  

This was so lovely on a cold day! I love the extra flavour that comes through when veggies are roasted. I used red onions and a combination of button, brown and portabello mushrooms. Next time, I'm going to throw in some dried cepes with the... — Helen Hes Jun 5, 2009

Crock Pot Chicken (3 Ingredients Plus a Pinch!)

Posted by Sarah in New York  

Made this for dinner tonight and we quite enjoyed it. I loved the flavour combination of the spicy, salty and sweet and that little bit of ginger adds a really nice warm flavour. The only thing I would change next time would be to change the... — Helen Hes Jun 5, 2009

Chile Con Queso (Melted Cheese Dip)

Posted by Heydarl  

Oh, goodness, so many of my favourite things in one recipe. Cheese, cream, red peppers... I made this for a drinks and nibbles evening I had with some friends and this went down a treat. I used a lovely local cheddar and a fresh chili pepper and... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Midori Margarita

Posted by lazyme  

I made these for some friends as part of a drinks and nibbles evening and it got mixed reviews. Nevertheless, I'm the one writing the review, so it's my opinion that's the important one and I loved it. I love midori and the flavour came through... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Oh-So-Good Homemade Tortilla Chips

Posted by Debber  

We enjoyed these a lot. Made them as one of a variety of nibbles to go with some drinks we were having last night. I wanted to make tortilla chips, but I don't deep fry anything, so the fact that these were baked was perfect. I didn't use salt... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Spiced Almonds for the Tapas Bar

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

We loved these a lot. We had a drinks and nibbles party which sort of turned into a tapas party and these were lovely. I doubled the recipe and have been nibbling on the leftovers all day. We used smoked paprika and this seemed to work really... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Caramelized Walnuts

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Leslie~  

I've had these in restaurants before and thought that they'd be extremely complicated to make and well beyond my skill level. How wrong could I have been? These were so, so easy to make and so yummy. I used walnuts from our tree, toasted them... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Potato and Onion Tortilla

Posted by diner524  

The simple recipes really are the best, aren't they? I made this for a drinks and nibbles party and cut this into cubes, and it was very popular. Very simple to cook and easy to follow instructions. Thanks for sharing - made for ZWT5. — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Fried Chorizo With Garlic

Posted by bluemoon downunder  

I can't actually comment on the taste of this recipe as it was all gone before I got the chance to try it, so I can only assume this was fantastic. I made it for a drinks and nibbles evening and it just vanished. I did miss out the red pepper... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Easy Lemony and Garlicky Mushrooms

Posted by mama's kitchen  

I made this for my drinks and nibbles evening last night and it was lovely. I baked these in the oven - had so many things on the go that I ran out of room on the stove top. Made as written and will make again. Made for ZWT5. — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Peach Sangria

Posted by Sarah_Jayne  

This was the hit of my drinks and nibbles night last night. I used a local Chardonnay for the wine. I would like to have used a Spanish wine, but sourcing that in my small town proved to be impossible. I subsituted normal caster sugar for... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Caramelised Steak

Posted by Peter J  

Oh, yum! I loved the combination of the orange, soy, sugar mustard and garlic in the marinade. I was a little bit unsure of the amount of sugar used - it seemed like quite a bit, but after trying the recipe, I wouldn't reduce it. I did use... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Quick BBQ Garlic Mushrooms

Posted by Peter J  

This was lovely. I love garlic and mushrooms together and although I've made stuffed mushroooms before and made garlicky mushrooms before, I've never stuffed mushrooms with garlic before. I was a little bit worried that there would be too much... — Helen Hes May 17, 2009

Enchiladas Suizas Con Pollo

Posted by Wildflour  

Kelly, we enjoyed this a lot. We started with leftover chicken and just went from there. A couple of enforced changes - subbed Mexican spiced tomatoes for the tomatoes and cheddar for the Swiss cheese. Fantastic, easy to follow instructions for... — Helen Hes May 12, 2009

Dynasty Burger

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mercy  

Yum. We love Martin Yan's recipes and this was lovely. I particularly loved the way the sesame and hoisin came through - enough that you could identify them, but not too much of each to dominate the flavour. Thanks, Mercy! — Helen Hes Apr 17, 2009

Easy cheese scones - in a hurry.

Posted by Ivana*  

This was a very strange recipe! The scones themselves turned out wonderfully, but the dough was very wet after I added the milk - almost like a pancake batter. I had to add another 2/3 of a cup of flour to get the dough even close to resembling... — Helen Hes Apr 9, 2009

BBQ Salmon Filet

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

This was our Christmas dinner and it was fantastic! I'd decided some time ago that I wasn't turning the oven on on Christmas Day since it gets too hot here (over 30 deg Celsius) and since we were given a 2.5 kg salmon by our lovely neighbours as... — Helen Hes Dec 27, 2008

Chocolate Walnut Kahlua Balls (No Bake)

Curried Poached Eggs

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

We made this for a very quick lunch today and really enjoyed it. Loved the colour that the spices gave the eggs. We both felt there was just a touch too much coriander, but the combination of spices in a recipe is such a subjective thing really.... — Helen Hes Nov 21, 2008
