Traditional Christmas Pudding
Recipe by:
Heather
This is a fairly basic Christmas plum pudding recipe but unlike other recipes it can actually have plums in it. Unfortunately the ingredient list is so long it isn't easy to make it in less than industrial quantities! This could prove fortunate, however, as they make great food gifts. You can substitute a mixture of fresh and dried apricots of peaches for the plums if you wish.
Old Fashioned Carrot Pudding

Leek & Potato Soup with Canellini Beans
I love soups especially in the winter. I also love my pressure cooker because it saves time, fuel and nutrients. I was looking for a hearty soup that included leeks and I cast around my kitchen for ingredients. There were plenty of potatoes and leeks so that was my starting point. This is almost a meal in a dish and my family all love it. It is virtually fat freeand low in salt.

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!!)

This is a different interpretation of the traditional steamed Chinese sponge cake. It's light, fluffy and totally moreish. You can also make this recipe in smaller tins for individual servings.
Simple hollandaise sauce
I worked out this recipe by amending one I found in the internet. That night I was cooking some meringue desserts, so I had some egg yolks left, and desperately wanted to use them.
