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.

Bean Quesadillas

Recipe by: jjenkraynakorriss

Reviews(2)

Veggies, beans and cheese sandwiched in tortillas, then fried until golden on both sides. This is a great weeknight supper, ready in a flash - make one quesadilla per person. You can also cut them like a pizza and serve as a starter or party nibble.

Best Ever Pavlova

Recipe by: KERRYNZ

Be the first to review it!

This recipe is a family favourite which I often make for dinner parties and Christmas. Its crunchy meringue outside and fluffly centre make the perfect combination. Top with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Black Bean Dip

Recipe by: dramstad

Reviews(3)

A dip low in fat and calories, but with loads of flavour. Let the dip chill so the consistency thickens and the beans have time to meld with the spices. If you can't find tinned black beans, use dried or a tin of refried beans instead.

Black Forest Trifle

Recipe by: stuartd

Be the first to review it!

I adored black forest gateaux in the 70s and loved trifle so decided I would fuse the two. You can make it all from scratch but also easy to substitute ready made goods if you don't have the inclination. The ingredients are split to enable you to decide at each 'layer'.

Blue Cheese Dip

Recipe by: Ashley

Reviews(1)

This is a simple and delicious recipe! Serve with toasted ciabatta, crackers, carrots and celery sticks. This dip is also great cold.

Bocconcini Salad

Recipe by: Mario

Be the first to review it!

Bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella, known as bocconcini, make up this scrumptous salad. If possible, seek out mozzarella di bufala, made from water buffalo's milk, a specialty of central and southern Italy. It is a softer, creamier mozzarella than that made from cow's milk.

Boozy Smooth Ice Cream

Recipe by: SARAHEMM

Be the first to review it!

An incredibly easy way to round off a dinner party - but only if they aren't driving! I like to serve two small scoops in tiny dishes with shortbread, biscotti or amaretti. You can vary this any way you like - try Cointreau or Drambuie (my favourite), or add a few drops of real vanilla extract or some of the vanilla seeds.

Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce

Recipe by: Cherry

This is the best bread pudding I've ever eaten! My husband wants me to make it every weekend!

Buckwheat blinis

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Reviews(1)

These little Russian pancakes have a deliciously distinctive flavour. For a more luxurious starter, top with a spoonful of dip or sour cream.

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Recipe by: Diana

Reviews(2)

A Scottish twist on a traditional bread pudding recipe. Make in individual ramekins for an impressive dinner party presentation, and try using brioche or pannetone instead of plain bread to make it extra special.

Caper butter

Recipe by: stella

Be the first to review it!

In just 5 minutes you can prepare a delicious and impressive no-cook canape with nothing more than two ingredients! Serve with slices of baguette and smoked salmon for a gourmet looking spread. This also is great to prepare one or several days in advance.

Caramel Fondue

Recipe by: Carnation

Be the first to review it!

Two ingredients almost isn't a recipe is it? Everyone will love this – and it's a really easy one to remember – great for sharing and parties.

Carrigeen Moss Pudding

Recipe by: Ita

Be the first to review it!

I first made this in my A-level Home Economics class - sometimes I get a craving to make it again. Usually in the summer! It's a very smooth solid dessert. I like to make it in individual ramekins and serve with fresh raspberries and cream. I buy the seaweed in a health shop in Donegal.
