I had bought too many bananas, but I also didn't want to make my usual heavy banana cake. So I changed some ingredients and made it lighter. Hope you will like it as much as I did! 100 g soft Unsalted butter 200 g brown sugar 3 medium eggs 125 ml Greek yoghurt 300 g bananas, peeled and sliced...

I wanted to try this for a while, and the rice challenge seemed the perfect moment to do it. This gives a completely new angle to what fried rice can taste like! We loved it and will make more of it. It's sweet, hot and rich. A real party dish! Serves 3 big platefuls. - 200 g chicken breast...

This recipe makes for either a nice side dish or as a dessert on it's own. My Mother made this for as long as I could remember, but as she aged, she stopped. Mom always just called it Cranberry Jell-O® Mold ... I finally got the (general idea of it) recipe from her a few years back and even...

This seemed to work well. 500g red lentils 200g ground almonds 670g cherry tomatoes 500g chopped (but not peeled) carrotts 1 aubergine cut up, but not peeled. Put them in a (large) pot following the instructions for lentils. Then pureee. At the end add 2 tsp of salt, 2 tsp of black pepper and...

So, yeah, first off they are slightly green naturally if you use limes. You could use lemons, but mine are quite sweet, so I went with limes but there's also no reason you couldn't use a small orange instead and go for slightly orange coloured and flavoured ones. Really the flavoring is up to...

Morning Glory asked for a mango chutney recipe the other day. Generally speaking, chutneys are sweet condiments, so that was evidently a problem, since MG is not a sugar fan... Most of my mango chutney recipes (and most Indian mango chutney recipes) use between 35% - 60% sugar. Obviously, the...

I wanted to do something new for the recipe challenge, so I decided to make flapjacks. I had never made them before. I also had marzipan & dried cherries laying about so decided to use them as filling. My bars turned out a little too dark, so I have reduced the recommended baking time in this...

Considering the discussion I recently had on this board about whether or not almond or cashew flour belongs in Indian food, I decided to make this Northern Indian dish for the recipe challenge. It's rich, creamy, decadent and vegetarian. Ingredients for 4 people: 250 g fresh paneer 250 g sweet...

I was utterly convinced I had written this up at least 7 years ago, so before I moved out to Australia and before my back gave up, but I can't for the life of me locate the recipe. The crust can really be made up of any mixed nuts. So... You'll need a 9" Spring form tin. It's entirely up to you...

Does anyone have a quicker way of skinning almonds than soaking them in boiling water for 20 minutes or so and then pinching each and every one of them out of their skins? I am asking because I have just sat and done this yet again with another 1kg of almonds and this particular brand is (raw...

This recipe is inspired by Jacques Pépin, from his book, Poulets & Légumes: My Favorite Chicken and Vegetable Recipes. Although he stuffed chicken breasts, I used trout. So, to be honest, the only part of his recipe I took was the mushroom sauce! I hadn't wanted to adapt the tapenade that...
