 What you need:
115g plain flour 30g icing sugar 170g soft butter 2tbsp golden syrup 1 small tin condensed milk 60g plain chocolate A greased baking tin (20cm) What to do: 1. Add 115g plain flour to a large mixing bowl. 2. Add 30g icing sugar to the bowl. 3. Add 57g of the soft butter to the bowl. 4. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together - it will look a bit like sand. 5. Press the sandy mixture into the bottom of the greased baking tin. 6. Turn oven on to 180 and bake for about 15mins until starting to brown. When it's done leave it to cool in the tin. 7. Whilst the base is baking let's get on with the caramel filling. 8. Add the rest of the soft butter, the syrup and the tin of condensed milk to a pan and melt over a medium heat. Stir continuously. 9. Turn the heat up and bring the mixture to the boil - simmer for 7 minutes. 10. Pour the caramel filling on top of the cooled baked base, you might need to smooth it out a bit and then leave to cool. 11. Once it's cooled, melt the chocolate. 12. To melt the chocolate, break into pieces and add to a glass bowl. 13. Put the glass bowl over a pan of hot (boiling) water. Stir until melted. 14. Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel. 15. Leave the whole thing to cool and then slice and eat! Thank you to Matt for sharing this recipe!

What you need 1 cup of plain yoghurt 2 cups of frozen fruits (choose any you like) 1 cup of milk 2 tbsp of honey 3 tsp of oats What to do
What you need:
1 pint of milk 1 tbsp of White wine Vinegar Salt Pepper Any seasoning you like What to do: 1. Pour the milk in a pan. 2. Heat on the hob until it almost boils. Do not let it boil. 3. Stir a little with a wooden spoon to stop the milk sticking to the bottom of the pan. 4. Take the pan off the heat. 5. Wait for 2 minutes. 6. Add the white wine vinegar and stir. 7. The milk should separate and you will see the curds and the whey. 8. Pour the milk through a sieve into a bowl. The liquid in the bowl is called whey, you can save this and use it in other recipes like bread making and cakes instead of water or milk. 9. The cheese will be in your sieve, empty this into another bowl. 10. Add a pinch of salt, some pepper and chopped herbs. 11. Taste it and add more seasoning until it takes perfect. Enjoy with home-baked sourdough bread and ripe tomatoes and soft avocado = yum! My sister wanted to make this cheese.

You will need:
280g bread flour
140g self raising flour
2.5 tsp yeast
55 ml warm water
Pinch of salt in flour
Pinch of sugar in yeast
What to do:
1. Mix yeast, water, and sugar together in a big bowl and leave to rise in a warm place for about 10 mins (a warm sunny window sil is a good place)
2. Mix the flours and pinch salt together
3. When yeast has doubled in size add the flour
4. Add the warm water until it feels like dough
5. Knead the dough on a floured board for about 8 minutes
6. Put the dough back in the big bowl and cover with a tea towel
7. Put it back in the warm place and leave until it has doubled in size
8. Pull off small handfuls of the dough, about the size of a plum and flatten between your palms so it looks a bit like a fat pancake
9. There will be enough dough for about 12 pittas
10. Turn the oven on to the highest heat
10. Place the fat pancakes on lined baking trays - space them out well because they will get bigger in the oven
11. Put them in oven for about 8 mins, they will puff up as long as oven is hot enough.
They don’t brown much- If overcooked the become hard. Because they are hollow...ish, depending on the day, you can fill them with anything - I liked them with Jazz's buttery dhal, but you could eat them with grated cheese and carrot, peanut butter and jam or just butter!
Thank you for sending this recipe all the way from America, Meyriel - I love it!
