Black Cake

Recipe by: Gina

Reviews(1)

This is a yummy, flourless, fail proof chocolate cake - the base and the filling are the same: one is baked while the other is just chilled. Use fresh eggs and good quality chocolate - preferably with 70% cocoa, and don't over bake the base.

Cherry and almond strudel

Recipe by: Ariana Klepac

Be the first to review it!

Austria's famous melt-in-the-mouth pastry looks very impressive, but is surprisingly easy to make. Ground almonds and breadcrumbs absorb the juice from the cherries, so the layers of filo pastry bake wonderfully light and crisp.

Chickpea Salad with Couscous

Recipe by: chimpchef

Be the first to review it!

This is the easiest quick meal I know! If you can chop an onion this is the recipe for you. You can change the spices around to your own taste, I make this with garlic and mixed Italian herbs sometimes and it works out just great. This travels well cold so it's a good choice to bring to a BBQ.

Chilled beetroot soup

Recipe by: Rosemary

Tinned beetroot is great for this recipe, making it ready in minutes. You can save the juice, freeze it and add it in place of the chilled water or ice. Try serving with a dollop of soured cream.

Hungarian beef casserole

This is my grandmother's recipe. Beef is slowly cooked until tender, with sour cream added at the end to create a luscious gravy. Serve with plenty of bread to mop up the gravy.

Hungarian Beigli

Recipe by: SLAIMBEER

Reviews(1)

This is a traditional walnut roll which is made by many Hungarians at Christmas and Easter as a special treat. This recipe has been handed down in my family for generations. The preparation time is around 70 mins, plus 1 hr 30 minutes resting time, but is well worth the effort!
