Eggasperated Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Meringues to use up 4 egg whites. But I must have done something wrong as there is a lot of beading on them ; but I'm going to smother them in fruit and cream so you can't see it .

LolaLayla Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am trying something new in the slow cooker. Pork, mushrooms, onions and potatoes. I am looking forward to eating something warming later on as it is so bitterly cold today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 My other half made Spanish Pot Roast Chicken. It was delicious! I was very impressed. I recently bought him a cast iron enamelled casserole dish with a lid. He was inspired! The key flavours were pimenton and fennel seeds. Yum! http://www.lovefood.com/guide/recipes/10135/spanish-pot-roast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddie Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just cooked, for the first time, a North Devon Speciality. Laver, with crisp bacon, and toast. It is really nice, Laver is......... seaweed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I made this cake a couple of days ago. It does go into two layers, but is really quite eggy I wonder if I can use an egg less? I am thinking of trying it with lemon rind and see if that cuts through the eggy taste. I like the look of the chocolate version! I wonder if it could be made with gluten free flour? To answer my own question - yes it can, and very nice it is too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Today I've made Vanilla Macaroons with a Salted Caramel filling I bet there's none left! Sounds wonderful! What is the recipe please? I keep intending to make macaroons but I haven't got round to it yet! I casseroled some pork cheeks and made barbecue ribs whilst the oven was on. Both were very tasty. Had the ribs on Saturday and the pork cheeks tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 The best tutorial I've seen on making macaroons is from Ruth Clemens (GBBO) - http://www.thepinkwhisk.co.uk/ and the salted caramel sauce was the Nigella recipe, you just need to use less cream to use it as a filling rahter than a sauce - very quick and easy..... I'd made macaroons many times and not had a problem, having read about Ruth's problems I realise I must have been lucky. ....and, you're quite right....there are none left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hot Cross Buns! And they were lovely, I'll have to make some more tomorrow . Same here! I did Paul Hollywoods ones but tweaked them a bit. I added almost 2 tsps of mixed spice instead of one of cinnamon, and I baked the for 15 min instead of the 20 odd mins he says - mine were slightly too dark! I would leave out the apple next time too. Apart from that, they are yum! Rose beautifully and are ally soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just decided at the last minute to add the apple to see what it was like! I'll know in an hour or so then. I also added much more spice - 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp mixed spice......and more milk than he said - I'll keep an eye on the cooking time. Half of mine have dried fruit - the other half have chopped, dried apricots - His and Hers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Mini meringues for mini passion fruit Pavlovian for tomorrows easter feast ( or raspberry if the passion fruits don't ripen in time - any ideas on how to end that process up?) an am about to make a hot cross bun and butter pudding for same meal. Plus dyed some boiled eggs - not really baking or cooking as such but they do look quite pretty Shame once I washed the food colour off the colour that took was much paler. Wish I knew how to make them a deeper colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Magic Meringues! - they were the recipe today on the Pink Whisk and took me back to when I bought my first microwave about 30 years ago (!!), they were the first thing I cooked in it! I'd forgotten all about them. They are a different texture to normal meringues but they're great for using in Eton Mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Those meringues are on my to do list as well, but today I made the sausage rolls from the pink whisk site. My first attempt, look good, but as I'm veggie haven't tasted them. Also made some cheese and onion cakes as opposed to fish cakes. Yummy!

craftyhunnypie Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 A key lime pie. Base & lime custard done & baked. Chilling in the fridge for 3 hours now . Then cream & icing sugar topping later. Not had this for years, so I'm hoping I still like the stuff! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Basically, I make some pizza bases and lightly bake them. Fry onions, sliced gherkins and minced beef. Cool it some then add some seasoning and plenty of chutney. Spread on top of pizza base, top with cheese and heat in oven as normal. Very messy to eat.
