Scouse

Scouse by Colin Callan

This was finally shortened to Skause and over time the spelling changed to the more Anglicised version we know and love today, Scouse. Interesting Note: The Danish name is "skipper labskovs". In Swedish, it's "kallops".…

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…

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 recipe came from her mother Catherine Gillies from Snizort on Skye - born 1879. Before that, I think it came from my great grandmother Flora Gillies, a Highland crofter's wife (orginally from Raasay).

Now those who have read previous articles by me on the subject of Shepherds Pie may be slightly surprised at this recipe. How can there possibly be a Chilli Shepherds Pie and made with Vegetarian mince too? Well everybody knows that a true Shepherds Pie is made with minced lamb.

Carrot cake

Carrot cake by Dominika

Carrot cake is quite a "heavy" dessert and it sounds much healthier than it really is. The high content of oil, sugar, full fat cheese and walnuts are miles away from the low fat diet. That is why I don't bake it very often. The battle starts as soon as I put this yummy cake on the table and in 10 minutes crumbs are the only…

If you love the taste of Nak’d bars, but you’re not so keen on the price, try making your own – you won’t believe how easy these are to make. This is the basic recipe for the bars, but you can add whatever flavourings you want. I’ve used vanilla, but I suggest…
