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.

Barbecued Fillet Steaks with Shallot Butter

Recipe by: ttinkerbel

Be careful when making this dish. Like a magic love potion, it brings out the lover in anyone. I learned very quickly not to prepare this for a mere 'casual date' - unless you want that date to become something more!

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 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'.

Butter and Garlic Prawns

Recipe by: Kimber

Be the first to review it!

Prawns cooked in butter, garlic, lemon juice and parsley are even better with the help of Dijon mustard. Serve with fresh crusty bread.

Chocolate and beetroot cake

Recipe by: theodore

This is a really moist and chocolatey cake. The kids didn't even realise it had beetroot in the first time I made it. Decorate by dusting with icing sugar or it is delicious served warm with custard. For a healthier option serve with creme fraiche.
