Yes, thanks all. I learned a lot from reading all this.

I'm going to try "Greg Who Cooks" Jalapeno Poppers. Found some peppers from Morocco at the supermarket and can't wait for dinner!

Ooh I've never tried potato blintzes...I will have to give them a try sometime.

Thanks Zhizara - I've bookmarked The Free Dictionary - it's great. And now I can pronounce blintzes properly! :smile:

Thanks so much for the replies everyone! All your answers help greatly.

Thanks for replying Siegal. Yes it does make sense, but just feels weird ..an awkward pronounciation! :-). Thanks again.

Hi. This may seem like a strange request, but please could someone tell me how to pronounce blintzes. (if you type the word phonetically that will help me greatly!) thanks I am researching the difference between blinis and blintzes.

Thanks Greg Who Cooks! Fabulous pics. I first tried these last year when we visited Texas. They are just the best thing. We don't get hot peppers over here in France, so I brought some seeds back with me, but didn't have any luck with germination this last summer as it was a lousy start to...

That looks wonderful Siegal. Baklava is one of my fav things in life. Have made it once and your picture has inspired me!

Have a wonderful birthday dinner! I'm trying to remember some of the restaurants in Pretoria - but it was a while ago, so it's probably all changed. I remember some great Portuguese restaurant! have fun. x I found fresh tumeric the other day for the first time in my life! So we are having...

Hi Snip - I am from Natal. Grew up just outside of Durban and the lived in the Karkloof for many years. Making the Melktert tomorrow, so will let you know!

I've come to realise that what works for someone, may not work for others. I have tried the no carbs, no dairy...tried everything. What works for me is just cutting down on quantity - depending on how much exercise I am doing. Obviously eating sensibly and not binging on sweets and chocolate...

Aah Snip you are a star! I have been wanting a chakalaka recipe for ages. Thanks so much. I miss this fabulous relish. The French don't really like spicy, so chutneys, achar etc are not to be found. Wonderful to have this, thanks. I found a fab recipe for a chutney that is almost 100% Mrs...

Hi Snip 13. Thanks for this recipe! I am about to make my weekly supply of dishes for a friend in need, and milk tart was on my list! Nice to see a fellow South African on this site! (although I don't live there anymore). Why do you need a sugar substitute? Would honey work? Thanks again.

Hi. I'm looking for a green tomato chutney/relish that does not contain sultanas or raisins. Thanks!

Hi Janet - the recipe I have used for years and is quite superb just calls for dark chocolate - it really is a great recipe. Here it is in case you are interested in trying: 1/3 cup flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder 2 cups sugar 1 cup chopped nuts of your choice 250g dark chocolate 250g butter 2 tsp...

Ok, so I used Julia Child's recipe. Left it in the fridge overnight. When I reheated the strained sauce, I added some sugar and brandy, and it just finished it how I wanted it to taste! Very happy clients I had.

I am looking for the ultimate Boeuf Bourguignon recipe to cook for some clients next week. I have good recipes, but always like to compare, and maybe mix and match good ideas from various recipes. Would love to hear from you! thanks.:chef:

What I call "cowboy food". Fried onions, tomato, fresh chilli, bit of pesto..break an egg on top, sprinkle with feta cheese, put the lid on and let the egg cook a bit. Yum..

Breakfast is usually a grapefruit and/or some brebis (sheep) yoghurt. Sunday however, is poached eggs and fresh tomato on toast, with a second piece of toast with marmalade, and some strong coffee.

I cooked for my clients and a bit extra for me! We had some duck breast with a honey, ginger, soy gravy. Lovely. and hassleback potatoes - haven't made these for years! Really nice.

I'm having 2 girlfriends over tonight, and am making: artichoke pate to have with apero bubbles; Thai Chicken balls with lots of coriander and some sweet chilli sauce, with a divine sauce I cooked for the first time a few weeks ago...honey, soy, ginger; Gremolata potatoes (new for me, but sound...

Soup made from Jerusalem artichokes is divine. Boil them with a bit of milk or half water half milk until soft. Whizz until smooth and then add some cream and season well. A very nutty, taste.

aahh...this is my kind of food. I just love pulled pork!! Not something I get to eat at all in France unless I make it myself. That whole meal just sounds superb! Hope you enjoyed it.

Hard to choose a "signature" dish, but the one thing I am famous for is my Chicken Liver pate. Chicken livers Bacon Onions Garlic Cream Brandy Mixed herbs (I haven't given quantities, as I don't measure and go according to what looks right! But for 1 tub of chicken livers, it's usually 250g...
