A BMW

Recipe by: alistairric

Be the first to review it!

I first made this when I worked in a pub in Manchester. Tastes like the best ice cream you ever had and goes down smoothly. Careful, it's stronger than you think! Make sure you add the shots in the right order - if you do it in the wrong order, they may not mix and will look awful.

Abby's Souvlaki

Recipe by: Abby Benner

This is my version. Use a very tender cut of pork for this and thread onto skewers and barbecue. Serve with a Greek salad or wrapped in pitta with tzatziki.

Almond-Crusted Halibut

Recipe by: Susan W.

Reviews(3)

This dish melts in your mouth. The credit goes to my future mother-in-law. Not only does it taste gorgeous, but halibut is a sustainably sourced fish. Each halibut fillet should be approximately an inch thick. Substitute crème fraîche for the double cream for a lighter dish.

Amarula bread and butter pudding with Amarula cream

Recipe by: martin_pain

Be the first to review it!

I saw a recipe for this ages ago and always planned on making it myself. I couldn't find the original recipe so had to improvise. I was really pleased with the results, and so were the rest of the family. Amarula is a cream liqueur from Southern Africa and it's easily available. I guess you could try this with Baileys or any other cream liqueur you can get your hands on

American-style Pork and beans

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This is a dish from the Eastern seaboard of America, where the pork and beans are traditionally simmered slowly in an earthenware casserole. It is the kind of dish that you can prepare ahead and leave to bubble away while you tend to other things. Baked jacket potatoes and crusty bread are perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce.

Anchovy Tapenade

Recipe by: Jim Clark

Classic Mediterranean dish using black olives, anchovies and capers. This dip is great with toasted pitta bread or crusty bread.

This is a great dish for using up autumn apples. Bramley, Golden Delicious or Cox's Pippin apples work well.
