easy
Recipes that no require a high level of skill and can be prepared in a reasonably quick time.
Chocolate ice cream
There are many fine chocolate ice creams available at specialty stores and elsewhere today. But nothing compares to the thrill and great taste of making your own.
Chocolate fudge
A thousand ways... Ok, we confess. There is not any way to list a thousand recipes for chocolate fudge in so small a space. So, a couple of the outstanding ones will do for now. German chocolate fudge is one of the best by most accounts, and for good reason. Simple to make and a big crowd pleaser.
Finishing touches for your barbecue
Irish coddle
Coddle is a traditional Irish dish made up of layers of bacon rashers and sausage, sliced potatoes and onion. It is steamed or partially boiled and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Lamb and almond stir fry
A simple and delicious week day dinner with lamb, vegetables and healthy almonds that will be on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Thai green chicken curry
One of the most popular Thai dishes. Chicken in a spicy sauce with a subtle blend of green chili, galangal and garlic flavor with a hint of lime and the aroma of coconut milk.
Balmain bug salad
This salad is a specialty of Sydney. Contrary to what any may might think, balmain bugs are not insects. Balmain bugs are a type of slipper lobster, not a true lobster, but they have a taste and texture similar to the real one.
If you cannot find balmain bugs, which are usually sold in fish markets along Australian eastern coast, especially Sydney, any crustacean will be a boog substitute. Substitute balmain bugs with prawns, shrimp, crab or lobster - use 1 lobster, cooked and prepared for this recipe.
Angel hair with shrimp sauce
Still fast food, but with more substance. Adding some vegetables, the recipe becomes a wholesome main dish. The use of Asian ingredients -soy sauce, chutney- and Italian pasta brings East and West together.
Apple crisp
Lots of people do not pay much attention to the apples used for baking, as long as they are cooking apples. Try different varieties, even non-cooking apples. An apple crisp becomes a different kind of treat!
