I make a quarter cup of really strong coffee- but you could use coffee granules and dissolve them to get the required amount. Jo Segar recommends using Bushell's Coffee and Chicory essence ( comes in a bottle the size of a worcester sauce bottle so lasts for ages) in some of her recipes for a strong coffee kick- I sometimes use that, especially in the icing. It is one of my favourite slices:)

I have heard about the Rhubarb and Caramel Scones made at the Gypsy Kitchen in Strathmore Park, Wellington. Has anyone tried one of these, please ? I would like to know whether the caramel is in the scones or on the top and if anybody has the recipe I would love to have it.

And I think you misunderstand me tigerlilly16 ... I wasn't trying to be remotely b. . chy. It was a genuine question! I'm an ex cafe manager myself & have made sauces & desserts involving alcohol at times. It's quite plausible to me that a cafe somewhere used that recipe. I don't know it myself & was checking as I thought thuntzster may have forgotten to post the cafe name. Not everyone here is out to be nasty.

I was just being cheeky, Winnie :) I realise it might have come across a bit harsh. Sorry. That's just my innate b. . chiness coming out :D

The Bailey's recipe is from a Jo Seagar Christmas book I used to have but cannot seem to find any more!

Has anyone got a recipe for Apricot Health Slice, used to be made at Ground Zero cafe in Whakatane. Don't be fooled by the name as I could taste butter, sugar and golden syrup and not much in the way of health. Had yummy sticky diced apricots and gel in the middle.

I loved the White Chocolate Blondies I used to buy from Heaven's Bakeries in Napier. They are best I have tasted.

as a chef myself and having been asked many times for recipes for certain dishes, I do not give my recipes away freely chefs recipes have often come about from a very long and involved process and are often the food resulting from said recipe is the point of difference between there restaurant/cafe and the one next door also a recipe is just a list of ingredients plus some methodology , food (in my humble opinion) does not come from recipes good food comes from the heart just as much as from the mind

Breakfast treat from a really nice guesthouse who's name eludes me. Ramekin Baked Eggs For each serving: 2 thin slices bread 1 large egg 3–4 narrow slices of cheese (cheddar, feta or brie) 2 tablespoons cream 1 teaspoon coarse grain mustard Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste Preheat oven to 180°C. Generously brush the base and sides of an oven-proof ramekin (1 cup capacity) with a little melted butter. Cut a circle of bread to fit the ramekin base. Cut the other slice into 4 triangles and line the sides with these "sails". Insert cheese along sides. Carefully break in the egg. Combine cream, mustard, salt and black pepper and spoon over the egg. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and cheese has melted. (Optional: Add chopped herbs such as chives, chervil and parsley or replace cheese with chopped bacon or smoked salmon pieces)
