Recipe by:

Stovies are traditionally made with leftover roast beef, potatoes and onions. This recipe uses corned beef but, as you'll see, you can adapt anything to it, making it a kind of stewed bubble and squeak!

This is pure heaven - well I think so anyway! It's sweet, melts in your mouth but is not chewy. This version is flavoured with chocolate and it makes a great gift. I always make some for my daughter's teachers at Christmas.

Apricot Brandy

This recipe is for making your own liqueur but be patient - it takes a few weeks before you can use it. You will need a wide neck jar for this too. You get the added bonus of some deliciously preserved alcohol-soaked apricots too. Eat the fruit separately, warmed through and served with ice cream.

Pork in mushroom sauce

Pork fillet, red-wine, mushrooms and cream. A favourite dinner-party casserole of mine, you can't go wrong with this dish. Its more-ish, homely and yet classy. Serve with plain boiled basmati rice and green veg or a salad.
Liqueur Ice Cream
Recipe by:
SARAHEMM
An incredibly easy way to round off a dinner party. I like to serve two small scoops in tiny dishes with shortbread, biscotti or amaretti. You can vary this by trying a different liqueur or add a few drops of real vanilla essence.
