About this Cook
I enjoy the social aspect of cooking, family and friends gathering for a meal. Simply pleasures 'tea and chat' with friends. Enjoy animals and children, nature - environmental concerns. Travelling, culture, languages and music.
My favorite things to cook
Mostly, main dishes: chicken - fish. I like traditional recipes (from England) but have fun with experimenting or creating my own! I also enjoy spicy foods (with ginger): Caribbean, Indian and Thai.
My cooking triumphs
Traditional turkey with homemade cranberries with fresh apples. Beef casserole done in the oven with parsnips, carrots and onions all slow cooked in a homemade sauce. Lemon Loaf and other baked goods

Iced Pumpkin Cookies
Absolutely oustanding, texture and flavor - a good way to get your veggies too. I modified the recipe slightly by halving the butter from 1/2 cup down to 1/4 and substituted 1/4 of unsweetened applesauce. This brings down the portion fat to 1.75 grams per serving. I would add a pinch of orange essence to the icing to give it a little zip...therefore less sweet. I also added one or two chocolate chips for decoration. This would be fun for kids -- domino cookies! This cookie recipe is great for Halloween or Christmas! Well done. A hit with me and great for sharing - I gave a tin of cookies away today along with the recipe! Nessie
