Chinese New Year Turnip Cake
Recipe by:
Carol, Chung Chi Wa
This recipe is handed down from my mum's mum. This is NOT a dessert (not sweet), but more like a 'quick bread' for the Chinese. This 'cake' is usually made and eaten during the Chinese New Year or its slices are usually found all year round as dim sum in Chinese restaurants. This cake can be kept for 1 week in the fridge (but usually it's finished within a day!!)
Stir fry
Tasty food for all! You can use as much of each ingredient as you like

Simple Marshmallows

There's nothing quite like homemade marshmallows. Once you've made your own, you will never buy it again. Toasted coconut is used to top this vanilla-flavoured marshmallow.
Elderflower Fritters
The elderberry tree - not only do the berries provide us with various drinks and conserves, but the flowers are used to make alcohol (some sambuca and elderberry wine), herbal teas (for colds, fevers and more), refreshing drinks and the following delicious Italian dessert recipe...

A secret recipe I developed using my wildest imagination. This is a recipe for those that like to experiment in the kitchen. If you are brave enough to try these (don't worry, you won't regret it!), play the 'guess what's in these cookies?' game with family and friends.

A tasty quick way to use up leftovers that is also a family pleaser. You can alter the flavour of the soup to suit the leftover meat you are using. Example: mushroom soup with chicken and tomato soup with beef.

Valentine's Jaffa cakes
A kind of Jaffa cake, but with a Valentine's day theme and using red (raspberry flavour in my case) jelly, rather than Jaffa orange. I made my jelly up a day in advance, so it had lots of time to set. I used a ready made chocolate sponge cake mix for my cakes, but you could just as easily make your own sponge cake mix for the bases.
Teresa's apple pie "moonshine"
This is a wonderful recipe I found online and started tinkering with, made a change here and there to get the finished product. I've made it for several parties, and it's always a hit. It makes about 2 1/2 gallons so is wonderful to gift once the weather gets chilly! You can drink it hot or cold, but, watch out - it's pretty strong!

Treacle rings
Qaghaq ta’ l-Ghasel or treacle rings as they’re called in English, are by far Malta’s favourite traditional Christmas dessert. Although not excessively difficult to make, they take quite a lot of patience and time to prepare. You can buy these delicious pastries all year round from confectionaries, but they are mostly consumed during the Christmas season.
Cinder toffee
Cinder toffee, or honeycomb toffee, is a traditional treat loved by children and grown ups alike.
