Rachel's Favourite Food for Living

By Rachel Allen
HarperCollins UK - 2007

does just what it says on the tin, a lovely cake to have with tea. I used dried apricots in mine and the whiskey marinade was a nice touch. Best eaten on the day of being made.

this worked perfectly and i had muffins suitable for a flashy cooking program wich tasted as good as they looked! the only problem may be finding buttermilk for the recipe.

very moist and chocolatey. it would be a bit of a pain to make without a food processor, but an absolute doddle otherwise.

this was another winner from this book for me. These biscuits turned out gooey in the middle but lovely and crunchy on the outside. My only gripe was that the dough is very stickey and hard to shape and handle. Apart from that they were great and good keepers in the biscuit tin.

this was a great idea that i just had to try. Leek and potato soup generaly needs quite a bit of salt to taste really good anyway, just do away with that step and add blue cheese instead.
The result is a salty savory taste wich comes through the soup mellowed with a bit of cream. mmmmm, a perfect variation to a staple cheap and easy soup.

a really nice midweek meal, with big flavours. This is the sort of easy going meal that youl never need to look at the recipe for ever again.

great recipe that can be made with things that are mostly from the store cupboard. Wonderfully filling, a lovely winter warmer wich was loved by my bloke and my landlord.
