Chocolate and bananas liven up a classic bread pudding. Day-old bread is best for a not-too-spongy texture.
This classic dessert adapts so wonderfully to the barbecue you'll want to come back for more.
Dried mushrooms develop rich, earthy flavours in the slow cooker. Dried chanterelles are light coloured and have a lovely taste, but feel free to substitute other dried mushrooms.
Broccoli gives this classic a lift in both colour and nutrition — a great combination for Wendy to serve to a friend. Grating your own Parmesan cheese guarantees the freshest flavour.
Using stewing beef instead of ground meat adds delicious bulk to this otherwise classic chili. Serve as is or use it as a topping for baked potatoes.
