Cor, just made it today (car was in hossie so couldn’t get to the shops!) it is yummy – had to improvise a bit, used chicken stock cubes, can’t find veggie one’s in France, but they do do grated emmantal lolol! And I cheated on the veggies, I quartered them all – couldn’t be bothered to cube them, and I used a food processor cos I haven’t got a hand blender! However, the final result is SUPERB! :) Thank you, I will definitely be making it again :)

“I saw the report earlier in the week about overweight people having to pay more for plane flights etc, seems we might all have to be a size zero to qualify for a standard ticket if this experience is anything to go by!”

Whilst travelling once, our suit-case was 1.5kg ‘over’. They wanted to charge us £40 extra! I explained to the lady that my husband had just lost 3st in weight – she let us off!! pmsl (wasn’t true at all – but try it if it happens to you!!). :lol:

I honestly have made all of mine, which is why I have typed them out, all be-it haphazardly on here!

Bleedin ell Angel how many ingredients and days ya got?!! lol :D

As for that malteser one, I am deffo gonna have to buy a couple of boxes of them extra! lol

I printed out 3 of the recipes, but I think I am going to wait, so I can print out any more that hopefully are shared, and print out just once! Think the printer needs a holiday! :lol:

Another one from my grandmother which is absolutely fab………..

Onion or Leek Pie

pre-heat oven to 450 (ya see wot I mean! lol)
fill a 9″ pastry dish with pastry (shortcrust, cos they didn’t have puff then – joke intended lol)
prick and chill it pmsl it wouldn’t let me type p r i c k in lol (hence the edit!)

Skin and slice thinly 2.5lb onions or leaks and melt in a heavy sauce pan
3tbs butter with the onions.
Cool them well.

(at this point it is difficult cos I am translating from Austrian!) reckon I getting it right tho cos I cooked it loads of times!)

Then:

3 eggs beaten
1 cup of soured cream – or cream with lemon juice
tsp salt
tsp ground pepper
mix together and

and put in the pastry tin.

Top with bacon or crumbled up sausage and top with one beaten egg white.

Cook 450 for 10 mins, reduce then to 300 for half an hour.

Seems a mass of onions, but you want that many, honestly!

Anyway, this is delicious hot or cold!

Bliddy ell you should be on masterchef – but, I gonna try it, and my printer is positively smoking! :lol: Joking apart, it sounds lovely and will give it a whirl! :D

Special red cabbage – my grandmother’s, note the difference of ingredient cos she ran out of honey – but, oh boy, peeps absolutely love it.

Ingredients:-

1 red cabbage finely shredded – I do about 1cm strips cos I like it crunchy
1 oz butter
1 onion chopped
2 banbury aples pealed and chopped
1 tbs GOLDEN SYRUP
2 tbs malt vinegar
Juice of half a lemon
A little pinch of salt (which I don’t do)

Method:-

Melt the butter and add onion and fry till opaque/slightly browned

Add the cabbage, peeled apples and syrup and cook over gentle heat for 10 mins.
Add lemon guice, vinegar, pinch of salt if you want to, and simmer for 1-1/12 hrs and stirr occasionally.

Again this recipe can made well in advance, tastes better when re-heated and freezes brilliantly. Goes well with turkey at xmas time when timing is tight!!!!!

Also good with most other meats (chicken, pork, beef blah) and can jazz up a sausage with mash when feeling really lazy!!!
