Someone requested the jelly chystal meringues - originally posted by kimkat1
3 egg whites 3/4c sugar (says caster, but I just use white) 1 pkt any flavor jelly (raspberry is really good)
Beat egg whites til soft peaks form, gradually add sugar 1 spoonful at a time, then do the same with the jelly. The mixture gets thick and shiny
Put blobs onto a tray and bake at 120c for about 40 minutes and cool on a wire rack.
I serve with a mix of whipped cream/strawberry yog.
Great to take to dinner parties/pot lucks

Moroccan Chicken recipe was requested ages ago......Moroccan Chicken - there is no real recipe for it but you make something similar to casserole but add cinnamon and dried fruits. Make sure to add smoked paprika, cumin, coriander.... Serve with a Couscous - I love the Israeli Couscous with its pearl like grains.

I make a lemon cheese pudding or variations using oranges and grapefruit, really nice for a change but depends on how big a crowd.
Ambrosia or cut glass pudding: which is several different jellies made up in shallow dishes then cut into squares, pile all into a large bowl 9grat if its glass) add fruit such as berries or fresh summer fruit (no juice though. Then make up a clear or lemon jelly allowing it to cool and pour over and let set.
mains I usually take a chicken nibble dish (chicken has been marinated in a lovely sticky sauce)

we have an "apple winder" - cores, peels and slices apples. when the kids have a pot luck lunch at school, I send the machine with a bag of apples.I have had a kid crying because they didn't get a spiral apple!!! It is SOOO easy and it keeps the healthy food lobby happy too

Any interesting ideas out there for food to share at pot luck dinners ! Often do casseroles or crumble-type puds and always go down well but just feel like doing something more exotic, not too time consuming and reasonably economic.don't want much eh !

Well, a large lasagne or cottage pie is always a great idea, you could do a chicken or vegetarian lasagne as a different option. Desserts could be trifle, chocolate mousse, cheesecake or something like that. A lamb curry is also another great idea.

Grasshopper Pie
Preparation time: 40 mins
Cooking time: 25 mins
Serves: 8
Don't let the name fool you, this is one delicious pie. Ingredients
* Melted butter, for greasing * 250g packet plain chocolate-flavoured biscuits * 1/2 cup desiccated coconut * 180g unsalted butter, melted, cooled * 1 cup milk * 1/2 bunch mint * few drops peppermint essence * 3 egg yolks * 1/2 cup caster sugar * 1 tsp cornflour * 1/4 cup cold water * 1 Tbsp gelatine * 1/4 cup crème de menthe * 300ml thickened cream * Extra cream, to serve (optional)
Method
1. Brush a 20cm round springform tin with melted butter and line the base with baking paper. Process biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a large bowl. Add coconut and butter and stir until well combined. Spoon biscuit mixture into prepared tin. Use a straight-sided sturdy glass to press biscuit mixture evenly up the sides and across the base of tin. Put biscuit-lined tin in freezer for 10 minutes.
2. Combine milk and mint in a medium heavy-based pan and put over a low heat for 3-4 minutes or until small bubbles form around the edge. Remove pan from heat and stand to cool. Strain milk through a fine sieve and discard mint. Whisk egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a bowl. Slowly add mint-infused milk to egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return custard to pan and stir, constantly, on a medium heat until it thickens. Remove from heat and cover top of custard with plastic wrap, to prevent a skin forming.
3. Pour water into a jug, sprinkle with gelatine and whisk with a fork to combine. Stand gelatine for 5 minutes, to allow it to soften and swell. Microwave gelatine mixture on HIGH/100% for
30-40 seconds or until gelatine has dissolved. Allow to cool slightly. Add gelatine mixture and crème de menthe to custard. Stir until well combined.
4. Pour custard into a large mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until mixture is cold and starts to thicken, but not set. Using an electric hand beater, beat cream until soft
peaks form. Add cream to cold custard and fold in using a large metal spoon. Spoon custard mixture into prepared biscuit shell and refrigerate pie for 2-3 hours to set. Serve Grasshopper pie with extra cream, if desired.
