I’ve been cooking a fair amount recently and I get most of my recipes from allrecipes.com. Given i live in Scotland you’d think I’d be used to deep frying everything, but I’m not, ever since Mum ditched the chip pan in favour of oven chips years ago. So I enjoyed trying out two recipes which involved deep frying:

“Puggie Woogie” are like little donut balls. Full of sugar and fat but oh-so tasty!

“Corn Fritters” are something which I’ve bought in supermarkets before, but never made myself. Until Yesterday. Today’s lunch is corn fritter leftovers (with sweet chilli sauce). Next time, more sweetcorn and maybe fried flat in a frying pan. We’ll see.

Oh, by the way, unlike the blender for smoothies, I didn’t rush out and buy a fryer just to try these.

The cheesecake!  I’ve been looking for a cheesecake recipe for a while now and found a great recipe on allrecipes.com  My cheesecake always comes out looking a little burned but tastes great.  the only problem is the topping – we don’t have graham crackers over here so I use 250g mixed gingernut and digestive biscuits, mixed with 100g of melted butter and it does just fine for me.  anyway, here’s the cheesecake recipe

I’m on a cooking kick at the moment. My main source of recipes is Allrecipes.com and I think that, for my reference as much as anyone else’s, I might start “reviewing” the recipes or at least saying how I got on with them.
