Caramel Pear Cake

1 cup of sugar

1/3 cup water

3 firm pears

100g butter

2 large eggs

1/3 cup icing sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla essence

1 cup self raising flour

Butter a 23 cm cake tin. Preheat oven to 180degrees C. Put sugar and water in a saucepan and warm gently so that sugar dissolves. Turn up heat and cook until caramel colour – light brown rather than gold. Pour into tin, swirl around so that the base is coated. Peel & quarter pears, arrange pears on top of caramel. Melt butter, leave to cool until tepid.

Beat egg with sugar and vanilla until frothy. Add melted butter.

Sift flour over top and stir in well to become a soft batter. Carefully dab little bits of this over the top of the pears so as not to disturb them. It will spreads as cake cooks.

Bake for 30 minutes or til set in centre. As soon as it comes out of the over turn onto a plate as caramel will start to stick.

Famous 100 Cookie Recipe Ingredients

· 500 grams (2 cups) Butter

· 1 Can of Condensed Milk

· 1 cup Sugar

· 5 cups Self Raising Flour

Cream the Sugar and Butter, add condensed milk and flour. Place on greased trays and bake in moderate oven approx 180 degrees C (360F) until golden brown approximately 10-15 minutes.

For a less ‘floury’ biscuit – sub half a cup of flour for 1/2 cup of custard powder and put lemon or passionfruit icing between the two biscuits. Doesn’t that sound completely heavenly!

Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Greek chicken and potatoes is a classic. I don't have the energy or courage to cater for a living but, if I did, this lemony dish would be one of my go-to entrees, and not just for big, fat weddings. It's a proven crowd-pleaser, simple to make, and easy on the wallet.

Ingredient

4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered

½ cup fresh lemon juice

½ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 cup chicken broth, divided

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or to taste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.

Step 2

Place chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, salt
