  • Freezer mac and cheese

    • tony_a2d9cm on April 15, 2026

      Great recipe, I added breadcrumbs to the top and ended up cooking for 60 minutes as we like a crispy top . All together a great mac & cheese recipe.

  • Fabulous chocolate and cherry cake

    • AllieTaylor on May 13, 2026

      This was delish. It did NOT work out quite as written/planned. The ganache seized on me (!) the instant I put it onto the cake top. However, I popped it into the fridge and it was acceptable (excellent, if you hadn’t known it was supposed to be a ganache). I will make it again! I used a recipe to make the whipped cream stable as I knew we wouldn’t finish the whole thing on the night (but not for lack of trying! 4 of us demolished half on it!). Forgot to flip the bottom layer, which was an irritation. Don’t forget next time! Absolutely intend to make this again!!

      Ok, having done some serious research, consulted with a pastry chef AND with the oracle (Shirley Corriher), I think I understand why my ganache split: 1. Stupidly, I used the chocolate that I had on hand, and NOT what the recipe asked. The recipe says 50%; I had 85% and thought that would be better. Ha ha ha! 2. The best way to make a STABLE ganache is to heat the cream and add the chocolate (NOT the other way). So, I had two strikes against me with the way I made the ganache: I increased the amount of cocoa solids AND I put liquid into chocolate. Hopefully, I won’t do that again… Also, I forgot to mention that I stabilised the whipped cream, as I knew that we wouldn’t be eating the whole cake. Having stabilised the cream, we were able to eat the cake over 3 days with very little diminution of whipped cream quality.

  • Emerald veg with garlic and sesame seeds

    • AllieTaylor on May 13, 2026

      This was easy and delish. Made enough for 5 hungry adults. The garlic is essential! I cooked the veggies in the morning and cooled them in an ice bath, then refreshed them with the butter and garlic in a pan. Will definitely repeat this
