1373. Estonian Baked Salmon

1367. Digestive Biscuit Bake


This is the definition of a pantry dessert. At literally two ingredients, the optional but not so optional chocolate topping makes for the third pantry ingredient. So what are those two magical ingredients that make for this indulgent dessert?

Best of MCW (001-100)


Debuting a new series at MCW, dubbed Best Of, I will be selecting the best of the best recipes from every 100 posts which I find myself making over and over, or have specific requests to remake.

1365. Egg Burrito


The concept of a breakfast egg burrito was created for on-the-go people who usually skip the first meal of the day. Efficiency at its best, it is recommended to make these in batches and freeze the lot.
