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.

Banoffee tart

This banana and toffee tart is well worth the wait and requires little actual prep time. I like to use hob nobs but digestives or shortbread work well too.

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

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

Chocolate Cappuccino Cheesecake

Reviews(4)

Sinfully rich and velvety smooth, this elegant recipe becomes a favourite as soon as it is tasted. It is best if made a day before serving.

Chocolate Covered Toffee

Recipe by: FUNKYMONKEY

Reviews(1)

Chocolate and almonds top off a rich buttery toffee. A simple recipe that you could easily remember and whip up any time. It might be easier if you use a sugar thermometer the first few times to check if the toffee is ready. I always get compliments and requests for more. Use any type of nut that you like in place of the almonds.

Chocolate Dip

This chocolate dip is delicious served with fruit (particularly strawberries), or warmed slightly and poured over ice-cream.

Chocolate Mocha Peanut Butter Marble Cake

Recipe by: Michelle Chen

Be the first to review it!

This is a very moist cake that looks and tastes delicious too! It has just the right amount of sugar needed. The glaze makes the cake shiny and keeps its flavour sealed for many days. But you will soon find out that it's not necessary as your familiy will finish it in no time! I like to use a classic bundt pan as it makes the cake look great! You can buy them in any specialty cook shop. Try and have all your ingredients at room temp too.

Chocolate Strawberry Sandwich

Recipe by: Marjorita

Be the first to review it!

This cake combines strawberries and cream with a lusciously moist chocolate sponge. Makes a lovely presentation.

Chocolate Tablet (Scottish Fudge)

This is pure heaven - well I think so anyway! It's sweet, melts in your mouth but is not chewy. This version is flavoured with chocolate and it makes a great gift. I always make some for my daughter's teachers at Christmas.
