Ginny's craisin and pistachio nougat

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, January 20, 2012, In : sweets 

This recipe is from the Mindfood website... I tried it, I would make it differently if I did it again. Notably, it has a strong honey flavour, so I would use less honey or perhaps a really mild one (I used white rata) and perhaps increase the amount of rosewater.... I also made it without that rice paper, but used icing sugar/cornflour to combat the slight tackiness of the crust... it's incredibly sticky. Would be hard without a stand cake-mixer!

Frances's smoked fish pie

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, January 20, 2012, In : savoury 

Thanks Jamie Oliver for this recipe, which doesn't include a white sauce, you just grate the veg into the dish - simple and use less pots! I added a puff pastry top to impress our dinner guest. He had 3 helpings.

1kg potatoes
1 carrot
2 sticks celery
150g Cheddar cheese
1 lemon
1/2 fresh chili
handful fresh parsley
300g smoked fish (I used terakihi, Jamie used salmon and haddock)
125g king prawns (optional, I didn't have any)
olive oil
salt and pepper
chopped spinach, optional
couple of ripe tomatoes, opt...

Ginny's chocolate crinkles

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, January 7, 2012, In : cookies 

Oh my these are died-and-gone-to-heaven delicious for the chocolate lover... easy peasy to make (just don't plan on cooking after mixing; read recipe to end before setting out on this adventure...). I really don't know how I lived without these in my life!
They don't spread that much so they can be placed relatively close together on the tray.
Again, another recipe from simplyrecipes.com
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla ex...
