The Recipes - Quick Jacket Potato

Jacket potatoes although very tasty usually take an hour in the oven to bake.
Then, one day, after scouring various bargain stores, I came across a tool that said you could make a great jacket potato in the microwave in 7 or 8 minutes.
So i tried it.
This tool turned out to be fantastic, and the quality of the potato wasn't very far removed from an oven baked one, so we started using it quite frequently. Try it yourself from Amazon here
In this recipe we added mature cheese and beans, although you can fill them with cauliflower cheese or chili from this channel too, or anything you like!
My personal favourite is cheese, beans, and coleslaw on top when it is cooked!
If you have a favourite combination do let me know...

The Recipes - Chocolate Cake

The Chocolate cake was a tough one to get right. After a few attempts we got the chocolate taste just right but it a was still a little dry. A this point we added milk in small proportions to both the mix and the cream and then voila! we had it just right. So as Marie Antoinette would say, "Let them eat cake." We say yes but not this one!
P.S. you don't need anything else with this one but if you are a cream lover I know that some of you will be adding a naughty dollop of cream on the side.......

The Recipes - The Dab Barm cake

This a traditional Lancashire thing. A Dab in Lancashire is a thinly sliced, about 4-5mm wide, piece of a large potato. This is then dried on a tea towel or kitchen roll, and then dipped in batter mix and deep fried until golden. It's a chip shop thing!
We like this one served on a buttered Barm cake, with a piece of iceberg lettuce, a slice of onion and a dollop of mayonnaise. Be sure to splash on a little more vinegar and salt when you put it on the bread. Currently we are working on a tasty chip shop style batter mix to fry them in at home. We will be sure to keep you updated on how this works out.

In the meantime here is the recipe.
