Pâté Chinois
Pâté Chinois is not a Chinese recipe. It may simply be an adaption of "Shepherd's Pie", but one possible explanation for the Chinese reference is that it was introduced to Canadian railway workers by Chinese cooks during the building of the North American railroads in the late 19th century.
Ingredients
4 cups (1 litre) Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, or more
1/2 cup (125 ml) milk, approximately
1 lb (454 g) lean or semi-lean ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1 can 19 oz (540 ml) creamed corn
Paprika, to taste
Dried parsley, to taste
Salt and pepper
Directions
In a large pot of salted water, cook the potatoes until they are very tender. Drain.
With a masher, coarsely crush the potatoes with at least 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of butter. With an electric mixer, purée with the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
In a large skillet, brown the onion in the remaining butter. Add the meat and cook until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
Lightly press the meat at the bottom of a 20-cm (8-inch) square baking dish. Cover with the corn and the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Finish cooking under the broiler. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Spiced Biscuit Brownies
I am kind of a chocolate addict…I just love the stuff, and one of the recipes I had been trying to perfect, was chocolate brownies. So after several batches (apologies to my colleagues at work for the extra kilos I have made you put on and to my friends, for the great looking photos that make you want chocolate), I finally managed to come up with a fairly fool proof brownie recipe, and with an added twist.
Ingredients
125gr butter, unsalted
150gr dark chocolate
200gr dark brown sugar
70gr self raising flour
20gr raw cocoa powder
4 to 5 spiced biscuits, broken in pieces
Directions
Put a pot on low heat and melt the butter, chocolate and sugar together. Once the butter and chocolate are melted, take off the heat. Add in the sugar bit by bit. Stir the mixture well with a wooden spoon or spatula, to ensure there are no lumps of sugar left.
Leave for approx. 5 – 10 minutes off the heat, so the mixture cools down a bit. This is to ensure your eggs will not “cook” in the heat of the mix, once we add these in one by one and stir again, until you have a smooth mass.
Transfer to a bowl and mix in the flour and cocoa powder, folding these in, in parts.
Poor the mix into the baking tray, and bang it a few times on the counter to level out the mixture, and get rid of any air pockets.
Break the biscuits in small pieces and push them into the dough.
Bake for approx. 25 minutes

Marboulius Golden Crust; self rising multigrain gluten free, yeast free, dairy free bread
every couple of days I bake a fresh loaf, after an operation course of drip antibiotics i found digestive system no longer worked. Weeks and months of trying this and that, i then took goat colostrum capsules, mangosteen and couple other capsules.
And read a lot online including carefully about gut leak, then worked out what foods upset my tummy. Tried one item at a time, spent heaps of money of different flours, yeast and nuts learning what i could eat and what i couldn't.
My daily diet is still mutton stew that contains lots fresh vegetables, rendered bone powder, chia seeds and teaspoon red palm flower oil (mutton and red palm flower oil is lying gut) -(essential). Fish and Chips every day then a bit of variation like steamed silver-beet meat and potato. Of course three four slices of my Marboulius Golden Crust

Apple Bread Pudding
When you first hear the name, Bread Pudding, may not sound too interesting. However, its a really tasty, rich dessert that's hard to turn down once you’ve tried it. Traditional bread puddings contain egg yolks and so a lot of fat; but this recipe relies on the whites and adds apple for extra flavor.
Ingredients
10 Slices of Bread
½ Cup Butter
¼ Cup Applesauce
1 Cup Zero Calorie Sweetener
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Medium Apple, diced
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

MOJITO CUBANO
This is one of the most consumed drinks by tourism in Cuba, and obvious by the Cubans, a rich cocktail prepared with rum, and a lot of Cuban flavor I hope you enjoy it
Ingredients
It is necessary to look for mint leaves luckily now we find them in any supermarket in the refrigerated section. There is no mojito without mint. The lime is also very important, and can not be substituted for lemon since it would completely change the flavor. Water with gas or soda and sugar are the last ingredients that we will need.
And here with the recipe
Ingredients for the Cuban mojito: After looking for the good Ron, then we are looking for the mint twigs, luckily in Cuba they are in the portals, either in avandonados places, because it is a wild plant, but I think that in your country you can find it in any market. Are needed
1. 2 sprigs of mint or peppermint,
the second is the zucar, in Cuba the brown sugar is used a lot, really, it is advisable to do this with white sugar, it is softer
2. teaspoons of sugar (to consumer taste, but only two are recommended)
3. The juice of 1 lime
4. 45 ml (more or less) of white Ron
5. A bit of crushed or crushed ice
6. Soda or sparkling water to fill 2/3 of the glass
Directions
Cut the limes in half. We are going to use the juice of one lime per drink. We squeeze the limes in a glass.
We add 2 teaspoons of sugar and mix well.
Add the 2 sprigs of mint in the glass, whole, it has to be with stem and everything and gently squeeze the branches with a spoon, enough to release the essential oils of the mint. Be careful not to break the leaves.
insert the crushed ice into the glass halfway up or down.
We add the soda to fill about 2/3 of the glass.
It's time to pour the rum. We start with the amount marked and we try and increase depending on how strong we like the mojito.
Mix everything well and decorate with mint leaves. It can be taken with a straw if you like.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we Cubans do, delicious cocktail for the delights of your palate
