Flourless Chocolate Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Michael Astill  

Gorgeous! A chocolate lover's delight (and I know a few...!) This is the new AAA birthday cake in my repertoire - I made this as a "farewell" gift for a friend at playgroup and had to bake it again twice that week by request! (I don't think anyone... — catxx Jul 31, 2008

Flourless Hazelnut Chocolate Cake

Posted by Perfect Pixie  

This is fabulous! Rich, and incredibly chocolatey, but so simple to make. I made it at my mother's request for her 60th birthday last weekend, and it was a hit. One major change I made (due to non-availability of hazelnut meal) was to substitute... — catxx Apr 28, 2008

Mum's Easy Spiced Apple Cake

Posted by Jen T  

Lovely light cake - incredibly light texture actually, for all that it only has one egg and is made in the processor. I substitute Nuttelex (dairy-free)margarine for the butter which works just fine. I've made this twice now, once for home and... — catxx Nov 4, 2007

Chicken and Apricot Tagine

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Ailsa of New Zealand  

This WAS very easy and tasty, and was a big hit with my toddler son, which makes it a winner in my eyes. I was a bit worried halfway through when I removed the lid as it seemed very watery and I felt the flavour was lacking something, but by the... — catxx Dec 20, 2006

Berry Friands

Posted by melting pot  

You said it...very simple, very nice! I made the recipe mostly as listed. I added the rind and juice of one lime (the rind to the dry ingredients and the juice to the egg whites before I mixed them in).I put the mixture into my 24-hole mini-muffin... — catxx Dec 17, 2006

Banana Blondies With Chocolate Chips and Walnuts

Posted by Redsie  

These are really delicious, though perhaps a little sweeter than I would like. I'll use less sugar next time (maybe 1/2 cup each type). I made them with freshly shelled pecans instead of walnuts. I used half as many choc chips as the recipe stated... — catxx Nov 22, 2006

Heather's Stir-Fry Sauce

Posted by Lennie  

This is a very easy, straightforward recipe, and I can see it's going to be a keeper.Personally I found the sauce a bit bland as is, and really needed the tablespoon or so of hoisin sauce I added, when I added it to a almb and broccoli stirfry. I... — catxx Nov 19, 2006

Rye Buttermilk Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Susie D  

Fantastic recipe - the bread is scrummy, dark, rich and sweet (without being too sweet). I haven't yet made it with the sage, but I'm happy with it as is. It is a lovely soft bread, too, which keeps very well. — catxx Oct 28, 2006

Mahogany Beef Stew

A delicious stew, which I'm sure must taste good the next day but we never got to find out..all gone! Had to make a few improvisations (bare pantry), but it still tasted great...I halved the recipe (though still used the same amount of hoisin... — catxx Mar 18, 2005

Sunday Roast Chicken With Apple and Herb Stuffing

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sharon123  

Beautiful, aromatic moist roast chicken recipe - we loved the stuffing, though we didn't get the giblets with our chicken so didn't get to try the gravy. The only change I made (which I personally loved) was to substitute 1/2 a lime, rind and... — catxx Feb 26, 2005

Ham and Egg Pies

Posted by Jewelies  

Enjoyed these simple little winners for breakfast this morning. I also substituted thin-cut bacon for ham, which was delicious (but will try it with ham when I have some).I used spicy oregano, garlic chives and cherry tomatoes from my garden, and... — catxx Nov 27, 2004

Beef Patties With Tomato Spice Butter

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jewelies  

What a great idea! I added a little tomato paste to the patties, too, and some fresh finely chopped herbs, but otherwise followed the recipe and these were great. Dh is asking when I'll make them again... Thanks, Jewelies. — catxx Nov 26, 2004

Breakfast on an English Muffin

Posted by Jewelies  

A new version of an old favourite of mine...yummy! (I used to put the ingredients cold on toast - this is much better.)I made this on a chunk of (pre-toasted) homemade light spelt bread, and loved the addition of cinnamon. Aromatic and scrumptious! — catxx Nov 20, 2004

Broccoli and Pasta

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Deliciously simple, fresh-tasting recipe. I gave it my own twist by adding some baby spinach leaves, some finely chopped dill and some cubes of feta cheese just in the last minute or so of cooking time. I also substituted a little freshly grated... — catxx Aug 17, 2003

Armenian Nutmeg Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Daydream  

Aromatic, simple to make..and it just seemed to keep getting better (not that it lasted much more than 24 hours!). My dairy-free version had Nuttelex margarine and soymilk, instead of butter and sour cream. I realised I had been given a (nearly... — catxx May 29, 2003

Panettone Christmas Bread for the Bread Machine

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by southern chef in louisiana  

This is scrumptious! Very soft, light and rather cakey, with a beautiful aroma. I do agree a bit more fruit would be nice. This is going to make beautiful French Toast...maybe Xmas morning? I used dairy-free margarine, and soymilk powder, but... — catxx Dec 21, 2002

Soft, Spicy, Heavenly Ginger Cookies

Heavenly indeed! I made these cookies to give as Xmas gifts, and they were so scrumptious I had to wrap them up very quickly or DH (who "hates" ginger) & I would have eaten them all! I used a mixture of treacle and golden syrup instead of the... — catxx Dec 21, 2002

Honey Mustard Curry Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mirj  

Yum! Very good, flavoursome and falling off the bone as promised. I used some free-range drumsticks I had, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a good quality dijon mustard. Marinated them for half the day then cooked for about 1 1/4 hours. Didn't... — catxx Dec 21, 2002
