COLESLAW

Firstly, can I say that all these recipes on here sound yummy and are now written down in my note book for future reference. Thankyou.

Now, can any of you ladies give me a good coleslaw recipe. I know it sounds stupid because all it is is carrots cabbage and onions but its the dressing I have a problem with. I have used mayo and salad cream in the past but its much too heavy and greasy for me.

I tried some at a school function not so long ago and the veg was sliced...

Carrot Soup

feeds@yuku.com (Beas Nanny) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:20:58 GMT

This is my variation of an old recipe from my very old 1000 recipe cook book. I blitzed my carrots in the food processor when they had simmered. The recipe says single cream, I have other recipes that say milk - so used that instead. I also used a sprinkling of celery salt and pepper as seasoning - as the stock was made with a cube - decided that it didn't need anymore salt.

Hi everyone,
Can someone help me with my query please?
If I defrost meat and then cook a casserole for example, can I then re-freeze it?
I often do batch cooking and am never sure if I can do this.
Thank you,

special cream

feeds@yuku.com (pauline penfold) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:42:49 GMT
something simple to transform normal cream into a delicious toffee cream

put 2 cups of thickened cream
and 300grm of small soft caramels
into a saucepan on a low heat and stirring all the time melt the caramel in the cream

leave to go cold and then whip with a mixer as u would normally whip your cream
this is thick, creamy and heavenly !!!!!!! use on top of cakes inside cakes on desserts any way u would use ordinary cream

enjoy
