Authentic Caribbean Chicken Stew

Recipe by: winstono2005

Reviews(3)

This is my favourite Caribbean dish which is very well seasoned (a trademark of Caribbean food) and have always enjoyed it as a child. The sauce should not be as thick as a curry and not too watery if that makes any sense. There are many varieties of this dish and is always best served with rice and peas and West Indian pepper sauce.

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'.

Easy bake irresistable brownies

Recipe by: chefveggi

Reviews(1)

This is a really simple brownie recipe. it has been tried and tested many a time and they certainly dont last very long in the cupboard. I always use chocolate chunks when i bake them however walnuts are just as good, it is just a family preference. these morish gooey chocolate treats are an all year all occasion must bake.

Elleasha's famous millionaire Shortbread!!!

Recipe by: elleasha101chhiber

Be the first to review it!

I think its very easy, well most of it sure is anyway! The only bit that i really struggled on was the mixing of the ingredients, mixing it into breadcrumbs with your fingers bit i actually found that it was easier with the dough whisks. plus it deduces your mixing time by about 5-8 minutes. from then it gets pretty easy with the rolling and cuttting and everything...!

Recipe by: Lauren

Be the first to review it!

I know most people buy these nowadays but they are easy to make if you use frozen pastry, plus you can vary the flavour. This recipe uses fresh chives and mustard. Grown-ups love them! For a birthday party, you can keep them plain or add grated Cheddar to the sausagemeat.

Nigel Slater's Very, Very Good Chocolate Brownies

Recipe by: funintheoven

Reviews(4)

These are such fabulous brownies that I'm submitting Slater's method, with a few of my own tips. No nuts, no flavourings, just a 24-carat brownie as dense and fudgy as Glastonbury mud. Whatever else you add is up to you. Serves 12 (or two with the munchies).

Squash & Porcini Lasagne

Recipe by: emsmiff

Be the first to review it!

The perfect vegetarian alternative to a christmas dinner (or any time as it's so good). Would make a fab starter too. The squash and the dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance - keep them covered in the fridge. On the day the dressing just needs to be served at room temp and the squash can be heated in the microwave. Really easy dish to do while dealing with a huge roast!
