Quick and Easy Paella
Paella is one of those recipes that can be easily cooked at home but always brings back memories of sunny holidays in Spain or Italy....
Ingredients
About three cups of paella rice ( or arborio if more readily available)............ 2 pints of fish or chicken stock......(also a glass of white wine, if desired)......finely chopped large onion............3 cloves of garlic chopped........any fish of your choice preferably cod or hake which is easier to cut in large chunks that will hold their shape.......bag of frozen king prawns as fresh ones can be awfully expensive.......a large amount of fresh mussels which are inexpensive.....cup of frozen garden peas......a few threads of saffron, if available.....(overated as a flavour in my book).......lots of chopped parsley and lemon juice.....
Directions
Gently fry the chopped onion and garlic in three tablespoons of olive oil until onion is translucent........heat up the fish or chicken stock......three or four stock cubes stirred into boiling water can also be used........ pour the rice into the pan and coat thoroughly with the oil......start pouring in the stock little by little until it has been absorbed by the rice.....stirring continiously is important......at this point pour in the white wine, if using......turn heat down low and gently fold in the white fish, prawns, peas and saffron, if using........these will only take about 5 minutes to cook with the heat of the rice.......season with lots of black pepper and a little pink salt.......finally top with the mussels which should have been thoroughly de-bearded and cleaned.....discard any that have opened before adding the rest to the pan.......making sure heat is at it's lowest put the lid on and leave for about 10 minutes until mussels have opened........sprinkle with lots of lemon juice and parsley....leave the pan in the centre of your table and people can help themselves!.... Delicious!...

Unbelievable Bundt Cake
Bundt cake is a classic Christmas dessert, but it seems that no one's really sure how to make it correctly. The ideal Bundt cake is moist and rich, but not overpowering in sweetness. The richness and moistness in traditional Bundt cakes comes from butter, but this recipe substitutes applesauce instead and uses sugar-free maple syrup as a sweetener.
Ingredients
10 Tablespoons Applesauce (unsweetened)
1 Cup White Pastry Flour
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 Eggs
1 Large Apple, chopped
1/3 Cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
15 oz (1 can) Pumpkin OR Sweet Potato Puree
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ginger
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Cup White Pastry Flour
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 Eggs
1 Large Apple, chopped
1/3 Cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
15 oz (1 can) Pumpkin OR Sweet Potato Puree
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ginger
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
Directions
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, mix spices, baking powder, baking soda and flour in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine applesauce and maple syrup and add the eggs, one at a time. Mix well and add apple pieces and pumpkin/sweet potato puree. Add in dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour batter into a 10 inch Bundt cake pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 60 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.

Two Layer Celebration Cake
Baking is one of my favourite pastimes......especially celebration cakes where I can let my imagination run wild on the decorating.....
Ingredients
For the bottom layer......20 large eggs, 20oz caster Sugar, 20oz self raising flour......grated rind of three lemons plus their juice.........for the top layer.......12 large eggs, 12 oz caster sugar, 8oz self raising flour, 4oz 70% chocolate or cocoa powder............(these quantities can be easily scaled down when making much smaller cakes).....
Directions
Beat eggs and caster sugar until thick and creamy......sieve in the flour in small batches and gently fold in.....finally add the lemon rind and juice......same applies to chocolate cake......just to mix the choc powder with the flour before folding in.......most people would probably make smaller versions so just use tins that you would normally use......larger one for the lemon and smaller for the chocolate........
Notes
The lemon cake can be drizzled with some warm melted sugar and lemon juice while still warm....when totally cooled can then be filled with raspberry jam, fresh cream and fresh raspberries......Covered on the outside with an icing of cream cheese, icing sugar, and lemon juice.....a little yellow food colouring enhances the look and lets people know that it is a lemon cake...... The chocolate one can be layered with chocolate ganache in the middle and also covered on the outside..........After all tbese basics are done you can let your imagination run wild with any sorts of decorations you fancy.......I always love to add some fresh flowers and lots of fresh fruit as decorations......
