    5 Stars A Chocolate Snack or 2! Review with images 07/04/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages yummy, tastey, sweet everyone loves them!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very moreish!!

    Ok I really couldn't help myself, as Easter is so close I love to make all kinds of chocolaty sweet things. Plus I also do a lot of babysitting for my brother and sisters children which if you have kid's im sure you know they love to get messy and cook! I think it's just the messy part really. So ive got so pretty easy chocolaty snacks that im hoping you all will try. ****** Chocolate Nibbles ****** Now these are nice if you're watching a movie, or reading a book just to have a nibble on hence the name I called them. And the best thing about them they couldn't be easier to make! *** ... more

    5 Stars Baklava 08/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Delicious

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Basically fat + sugar...not the healthiest choice, only for those with a sweet tooth!

    If you like sweet things, then you can't get much sweeter than Baklava, which is a traditional Greek snack. My husband is completely addicted to it, but I have to ration him because, as you will see, it's not the healthiest option. But it's a lovely occasional treat. I have to admit that I "cheat" slightly by using ready-made filo pastry from Tesco, but if you are a great cook then I expect you could make some from scratch beforehand. ***Ingredients*** Pastry: 500g filo pastry 200g unsalted butter Filing: 400g pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped (can be substituted with walnuts or pecans) 1-2 ... more

    5 Stars Eggs like you've never had them before! 04/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The perfect breakfast or brunch meal.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The Hollandaise sauce is the greatest challenge.

    Sometimes, not too often, you have one of those weekend mornings when you might have a little extra time to cook yourself a real treat for a late breakfast or lunchtime snack. The next time this rare event occurs I would strongly recommend that you give serious consideration to Eggs Benedict, I promise you won't regret it. In addition to being simply delicious they also have the almost magical power of helping to banish that Saturday night hangover. Hungover or not, bleary eyed or wide awake, I guarantee you will enjoy this delicious recipe. Before I go on, I am aware that the humble egg has ... more

    5 Stars Taking My Mind Off It 21/03/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It tastes yumptious.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You'll have to cook it.

    Ack. I can't settle to anything. I've serious reviews planned, honest, I have. Times, however, are too unsettling. Challenges, or recipes, or some other such lightweight stuff are all you'll get from me at the moment, I'm afraid. Sorry! I thought you might like to try my one of my favourites. It's not what you'd call a "proper dinner", more of a weekend lunch or a late supper, hence I'm calling it a snack. It's a rather robust snack. It's delicious though, and perfect for serving to friends on less formal occasions. I call it "That Pancetta and Potato Thing". If you have any better ideas ... more

    5 Stars Mizzjasmine's Scrumptiously Beautiful Cookies 02/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages They're srumptiously beautiful

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Waiting for the margarine to soften

    I’ve just screwed up my dinner so I’m reduced to Missus L McCartney’s sausage rolls and some bloody toast. I now need a healthy and nutritious meal. So I have decided to make coconut and cherry cookies (110 calories per cookie, weight watchers) and I shall most certainly NOT be making any for that ungrateful oblivious0r or the infamous and blasphemous cookie hater scgproductions. I shall make them and type this almost in real time (ie: not at all).

    5 Stars Fifteens. 03/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The marshmallowey goodness. There's no cooking to be done.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You might possibly eat it all in one sitting.

    These are the best snack ever. No cooking, enough sugar to keep you on a high for a good 4 hours. Also, incredibly easy to make. My class of 29 six year olds made them in May with no tears, tantrums or loss of limbs. Before we begin...I've never had an actual recipe as such for these, I tend to do it by sight, so the measurements given are just guidelines. You will need; - A medium sized packet of plain digestive biscuits (ie, not the ones with chocolate on) - Glace Cherries (I use 2 or 3 100g tubs, but then, I really like cherries. Add to taste really) - A 150g packet of marshmallows - A tin ... more

    5 Stars A challenge to Marmite haters everywhere! 18/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's delicious!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's EXTREMELY more-ish!

    I thought I’d share with you one of my favourite recipes, for Marmite Tart, something which is absolutely delicious and very more-ish! I originally got this recipe from my aunt who emailed it over from South Africa. Since then, we’ve been hooked on it! Don’t be fooled by the name, it’s not made with a traditional pastry base, but – so long as the right quantities of ingredients are used – holds itself together perfectly. It's probably the consistency of a savoury cake, or slightly stodgy scone. It is extremely tasty and filling, and you will probably find ... more

    5 Stars YOU TART 24/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Taste so good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Plenty of lard in the pastry!

    Back after popular demand (well a few very helpful ratings and some slightly positive comments), my critically acclaimed recipes are back for a second installment! Ok, take that look off your face you know I cant cook, but this new recipe is something I have tried and liked. It is simple, yet tastes great, if even I can make some with reasonable success there is no excuse for the rest of you. What are the little things? Jam tarts, simple really, and here is my way of making them: Ingredients 220g/7oz plain flour 50g/2oz Lard – sorry, full of fat but needed for the pastry!! 50g/2oz ... more

    5 Stars Cheap hot and tasty..the pizza I mean 03/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I guess the title has all the advantages in it!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None, except that you have to cook it yourself

    Ok fellow Ciaoers here goes! As promised, following my op on a certain nationwide pizza outlet and the appalling delivery service in my area, my very own pizza recipe guaranteed to see the sales of home-delivery pizzas slump in your part of the world! So, get a pen and paper or get ready to hit print on your toolbar, this is one you won’t want to let slip by! Not blowing my own trumpet here, just the words (more or less!) of hubby and sons chez moi! Ingredients For pizza dough you will need: - Strong white bread flour Salt and sugar Instant dried yeast Cooking oil Tepid water You can ... more
