Cottage Pudding - Upside Down Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009
I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect for our tastes and it looks lovely when turned out on the plate. It's far too cold here at the moment to eat it with ice cream, so we had custard with it instead. Thankyou for a great dessert Sandra.

Potato Skillet

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2009
I made some minor adjustments to the seasonings. I used a pinch each of sea salt and garlic powder and lots of black pepper. Followed other reviewers advice to add the bacon after the cheese had melted. Served with some fried tomatoes. Thankyou LaDonna, my husband thoroughly enjoyed this.

Orange Blossom Trifle

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009
A nice change from the usual trifle I make. I layered it differently, cake, fruit and then the custard and decorated the top with chocolate curls. The custard really is the star of the show and I have plans to use it in other ways. Possibly in tart shells with fruit on top for Christmas. Thankyou for a lovely recipe ChefBeth.

Bacon and Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009
I served these as a starter for my birthday dinner. I used green onions and added in some garlic powder. Our guests really enjoyed them. Thankyou GRNSTRIPE.

Garlic Bread Fantastique

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2009
Wonderful. I made exactly as written and it disappeared rapidly. Without doubt going to be a family favourite. Thankyou so much.

Lemon Herb Lamb Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
This made a tasty midweek meal and was quick to prepare. I marinated the chops overnight and fried them instead of broiling. I will no doubt make this again. Thankyou Mildred.

Chocolate Shortbread

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2009
I am a huge shortbread fan, but I've never made chocolate shortbread before. Like all shortbread doughs this one took a bit of work to come together. About 10 minutes of vigorous mixing for me. The end result is worth all the work, melt in your mouth and just the right amount of chocolate flavour. Thanks for the workout and a good recipe Sarah.

Vanilla Glaze

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009
I'm glad I read the reviews before making this. It meant that I was expecting to have to add more milk. I probably used 2 to 3 T to get the consistency I wanted. I accidentally added a full teaspoon of vanilla but I didn't think this made it too stongly flavoured. This is a beautiful glaze which sets perfectly and added the finishing touch to Nutmeg Feather Cake from this site. Thankyou Jamie.

Nutmeg Feather Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009
Out of necessity, I used all butter and did the vinegar in milk trick for the buttermilk. I baked this in a 10" bundt pan, which made the cooking time 5 to 10 minutes longer. Topped it with a vanilla glaze. The texture is as my husband put it, very fluffy, as he helped himself to a second slice. Thanks for a delicious cake Jayne.

Baked Leeks

Reviewed: Nov. 22, 2009
This recipe gave me one of those why on earth didn't I think of that moments. I've been cooking cauliflower this way all my married life, it just never occurred to me to do it with leeks. I used just the white and pale green parts of the leeks as the dark green can be a bit bitter and tough. A big hit with my family. Thanks Stephstargirl.

A quick and easy bread which rose well. I think I might add some rosemary when making again, Thanks Patricia.

Janine's Best Banana Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
I really like the fact that this recipe uses basic storecupboard ingredients and only a small amount of butter. This is a very moist bread which toasts beautifully. I'm going to try making in mini loaf tins next for gift baskets for my neighbours. Thankyou Janine.

Spicy Vegan Potato Curry

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009
Without a doubt the best vegetarian curry I've tried. I started off with half the recommended amounts of spices and then added more after tasting. I also only used half a can of coconut milk as anymore might have made the sauce too sloppy for my daughter's taste. A definite make again for me. Thanks Megan Lee.

Milk and Honey Loaf

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
This was my first time working with rye flour and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The dough rose well and the texture wasn't as heavy as I was expecting. I think when making again I might reduce the honey slightly as the bread was just a touch too sweet but that's just personal preference. Thanks Denise.

Beef Pot Pie III

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
I did change this a bit. I dredged the meat in seasoned flour before cooking and threw in a bay leaf with the water. I used the resulting liquid for the gravy instead of canned broth and added worcester sauce to it. I also left out the potatoes as my husband wanted mashed potatoes on the side. Both my husband and my picky daughter came back for seconds. Thankyou for a winner Stephanie.

Cinnamon Cookies II

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Anything with cinnamon in disappears at a rate of knots in this house and these were no different. I used black treacle for the molasses which I think is the UK equivalent. In my oven 10 minutes was the perfect cooking time, crisp on the edges chewy in the middle. Thankyou Mellan.

Butter Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009
Wonderful recipe. I doubled it and used the food processor to cut in the butter, just pulsed four or five times, then I transferred to a bowl and added the iced water gradually, I didn't need the full amount. After letting it chill for the recommended 4 hours, I let it sit on the counter for about 10 minutes before rolling out. This is the first crust I've ever made that I had no problem with cracking when rolling. It was beautifully flaky and my husband told me look no further you've found the perfect crust. Thankyou for a real treasure Dana.

Burger or Hot Dog Buns

Reviewed: Nov. 3, 2009
I used the breadmaker to make the dough for these, as I had several other things on the go at the same time. I only used 1T of sugar and would go with that another time. As described the rolls were beautifully soft. Thanks Sally I will use this recipe again.

Easy Biscuit Mixture

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
I was thrilled to find this recipe, as I have never been able to find baking mix here in the UK. It's opened up so many more recipes for me. For it's first outing I used it in Quick Onion Bread from this site which was a success. I'm sure I'll use this many times. Thanks so much Janet.

Quick Onion Bread

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2009
This was great with soup. I wish I'd made 2 as 6 of us devoured this in no time. I used Easy Biscuit Mixture from this site and threw in a handful of leftover mozzarella. I plan to make this the next time we have chilli. Thanks for a quick, easy and very tasty recipe Fathy.
