the modern anzac cake was a success with everyone who tasted it but it just didn't seem to have a distinctive taste for me , l think l am getting fussy, lol maybe l didn't put a strong enough coffee l would be interested to see what others think of it

Sounds like the sugar did not dissolve with the toffee? ? I do a pecan praline cheesecake that has a toffee type praline with pecans in it on the top, you just need to gradually heat it till the sugar dissolves and not over cook it. Yes, I would say a good strong espresso would be the best in regards to the coffee

Cooks l have to say that anzac cheesecake is a keeper everyone went wow when they first tasted it and they all wanted 2nds so happy about that and l redid the toffee and had better success l knew it was a my error as l have not made alot of toffee before The lumberjack cake was also a success and very tasty as well so a good day was had by all The cheesecake had that different taste with the base having mixed spice in it and it held together well everyone was asking what was in the base and couldn't believe it when l said there was no biscuits or flour only the oats

daleaway, if you fancy recipes for any hard and dry tucker, just ask ;)I have a tramping cookbook full of recipes designed to survive being carried into wilderness areas - there is the famous Tararua biscuit, a Panforte ('strong bread') di Siena, a solid Honey Spice Loaf, Currant Munchies... .
... an interesting section on living off the land too - Fried Eel, Goat Track Stew and more...

Does anyone have Annabelle's email address? Years ago I had a recipe for a beautiful dessert and somehow it got misplaced and I'd love another copy. Thanks

I don't have an email address willow, but you could check the TVNZ website or try the Sunday Star Times as Annabelle writes a regular column for it and I think she is also on Facebook.
