Perfect Pasta With No Watching and No Sweating

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Margaret3  

Great way to cook pasta. I was always looking for the packet to see how long to cook - now it doesn't matter with this method I can do each type for the same amount of time. It might not be quicker but it sure is simple and it works so well.... — Ninna Mar 5, 2009

I made this recently and although it was good we had too much so I put the leftovers into a casserole dish and topped it with grated cheese and popped it into the freezer. I thawed it tonight and my DH and I enjoyed it even more than the first... — Ninna Mar 5, 2009

Quick and Easy Chicken Curry for 2

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef Dudo  

A quick and flavourful curry, we really enjoyed it. I made double the recipe to serve 4. The only changes I made were to omit the oil for health reasons. I am not sure why, but the curry was quite thin so there was no need to add more water. I... — Ninna Oct 7, 2006

Marshmallow Slice

Posted by JNS  

Jilly this is the same as my friend Cheryl's recipe, well almost, she puts 3tbs of jam over the biscuit base and doesn't have the chocolate topping. The base and the marshmallow are exactly the same. I will still make it with the jam layer but I... — Ninna Oct 2, 2006

Aromatic Chicken Curry

Posted by Chef Dudo  

Wow!! This is so lovely and aromatic is such a perfect name for this curry. Because of DH's health problems I couldn't use the oil, and instead of the coconut milk I had to sub with coconut flavoured skim evaporated milk. It was still wonderful... — Ninna Sep 25, 2006

Cajun Salmon

Posted by Chef Dudo  

Another great salmon recipe from Zaar, thank you Chef Dudo. I made up double the spice mix so we'd have it ready for a quick meal next time. I'd like to try this with chicken next, it is such a great combination of spices. — Ninna Sep 23, 2006

Hoisin Salmon

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KelBel  

This is so simple and it has such a beautiful flavour. I just cooked ours a little differently because I wanted to remove the skin first to reduce the fat. I seared our salmon, skin side down, in a nonstick scanpan so I could take the skin off... — Ninna Sep 17, 2006
