Caramel Pecan CheesecakeBy danieldiverA delicious baked cheesecake with a toasted pecan caramel topping. A real luxurious treat.
Caramel SquaresBy danieldiverCaramel squares or millionaires shortbread whatever you call it, it is delicious. A soft melt buttery melt in the mouth shortbread, with a luscious layer of caramel and all topped off with a layer of milk chocolate.
Carrot Cake LoafBy danieldiverA simple and delicious cake with lots and I mean lots of cream cheese icing.
Cauliflower CurryBy danieldiverMy Cauliflower curry is a gloriously vibrant and fragrant curry. I make this curry often just before doing the grocery shop so that I can use up all the bits and pieces hanging about the veg drawer. You can add or substitute the cauliflower for chic peas, baby corn, sweet potato, butternut squash etc. This recipe is vegan, although vegan when I have had friends over and made several curries this is always the first to run out everyone loves it even the meat eaters. However, if you like you could switch the cauliflower for chicken.
Cheese & Onion StrataBy danieldiverStrata is essentially a savoury bread pudding. This version is cheese & onion. I make it often at Christmas when I have bits and pieces leftover from cheeseboards. It can be made ahead and sit around in the fridge for up to 24 hours then only needs 40 minutes in the oven and you will have a carb satisfying meal to indulge in. Note: if making from leftover cheese what is good to keep in mind is that in total you are looking for 350g of cheese. Some of my favourites to use are mature cheddar, red leicester, Emmantel, Gruyère, Parmesan & brie
CherrytiniBy danieldiverI do like a cocktail or two over the festive period and as the years pass my repitoire of cocktail recipes grows. The latest addition to that range is my cherrytini. It boozy but of course doesn't taste it. Note: Should you be unable to get cherry juice you could use pomegranate juice or even cranberry instead.
Chicken & Chorizo OrzoBy danieldiverThis simple pan of comfort food consisting of crispy skinned chicken with a silky smooth paprika sauce and pasta. Cooking the orzo in the oven in the tomato sauce really gives it a velvety texture, you will know exactly what I mean when you try. Orzo is a pasta, although it looks remarkably like grains of rice. The starch it releases whilst it cook seeps into the sauce giving it a liquid velvet consistency. If you like your food spicy then please do use a spicy chorizo sausage and if you don't use a sweet smoked paprika style chorizo instead, you can if you like add a few chilli flakes if you want a mild heat.
Chicken & Chorizo OrzoBy danieldiverChicken, chorizo, and pasta what could be better? The Orzo, the pasta element gives the dish a silky texture the likes of which you get with no other pasta.
Chicken & Chorizo PastaBy danieldiverHow to make chicken and chorizo pasta recipe. This creamy pasta is a real treat: it takes very little time to prepare in fact by the time the pasta has cooked the chicken and sauce will be ready.
Chicken & Gnocchi with Creamy Mustard SauceBy danieldiverThis is a recipe that I usually do with pork chops and its amazing. Although, as you may gather from the title this version has been adapted to use up leftovers. I recently posted this recipe to Nigella Lawson's Foodim and it became the #postoftheweek and had a lot of requests for the recipe so here it is.
Chicken TeriyakiBy danieldiverSticky chicken packed with flavour that takes hardly any time to prepare. Who needs a takeaway when you can have this fakeaway.
Chicken, Broccoli & Spinach PastaBy danieldiverA quick pasta dish that is healthy, packed with protein and really easy to make. The sauce is loosely based on a pesto, minus the fat. It hardly take anymore time than it takes to cook the pasta to make.
Chicken, Sweet potato & Chic pea CasseroleBy danieldiverThis delicious hearty and healthy casserole is delicious and simple to make. Perfect as the evenings begin to get colder. Although, a casserole it rather quick to make which is a bonus weekdays when time maybe short. Thanks to all the veggies you really don't need anything to eat with, but I wouldn't say no to a hunk or two of bread to mop up the sauce. If you like it hot along with the spices and herbs add a teaspoon of chilli flakes.
