Scottish Shortbread

Scottish Shortbread by Marlin Rinehart

This is the most famous cookie of Scotland. It’s a must to use pure butter. Traditionally, shortbread contains no other flavor. I’ve been making this recipe since 1970 when I got the recipe in Edinburgh, Scotland. The addition of a small amount of rice flour gives a firmness and crunchiness to the cookie. Most American recipes for…

Guernsey Potato Peel Pie

Guernsey Potato Peel Pie by Nancy Miyasaki

Having just read the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society for my book club, I had to find a way to make a potato peel pie for meeting. After some research, it seems this potato peel pie is as fictional as the characters in the book so I found a recipe online and tweaked it slightly and came up with the following. If possible, it…

Butter and Flour Free Chocolate Cake

Butter and Flour Free Chocolate Cake by Hungry Jenny

This contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too. This was made in an 8" square tin.

Lorraine Pascale's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Zebra Cake

Lorraine Pascale's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Zebra Cake by Bella

I love making cakes that are a bit different but with cakes I always seem to revert back to my old favourites. I will always experiment with cupcakes, but cakes? No. Don't ask why, I think I just like the traditional choices and flavours such a Lemon Drizzle or Victoria Sponge (although I am a sucker for anything with jam!) One…

This is a classic English one-dish meal that's layered in a casserole: beef first, followed by peas and corn, and then buttery garlic carrot mashed potatoes dolloped over top for the crust.

Swiss Meringue

Swiss Meringue by Samantha Rivera

So as you may remember from an earlier post that I have never made Meringue. Being brought up with a healthy eating JammyMummy we had loads of scrumptious food, but, I don't remember meringue. Gingerbreadgran didn't cook it either. This probably explains its absence from my residual cooking memory. Inspired by this evenings…

Butter Pie

Butter Pie by Stella Barrington

I do love a dish with a history and this one has interesting origins. Lancashire is historically quite a Catholic place and the butter pie originated as an alternative to the meat pie which could be eaten on Fridays so as to observe the law of not eating meat. Because of this, the pie is sometimes known as the Friday Pie or the…

Turkey Stuffing Puffs

Turkey Stuffing Puffs by Hungry Jenny

This makes approximately 24 trees, but you can easily use up any scraps of pastry or filling to create smaller open top pastries with just the filling on top :-) I used a 4" tree cutter to make the cranberry sauce 'tinsel' topped trees! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/12/friday-pie-day-turkey-stuffing-puffs.html
