Or that section Teacher �s Cafe? (what is the URL for that?). Wanted to ask a recipe-related question :-) Thanks, Tap |

Gaaaah! Do you know I actually looked there and still didn �t see it! Thank you Mariethe! Do you think that section, or Message Board for cooking advice? |

Try both!!  If it �s a recipe of a traditional British or American cake or dish , you can post it on the message board here.! Personnally I wouldn �t mind a recipe for mince pies! Yumee! Oh no! I shouldn �t  edit: Cooking is indeed an ESL topic! I based all my last lesson with adults on the very good elsson produced by the British council and next week they�ll have to make a carrot cake in my kitchen, using instructions in English. I�ll send photos! .... At the caf�!! Here is the link to the British Council�s Grandma�s trifle.: Delicious in many ways  http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/overcooked/grandmas-trifle |

I had a terrible day but on the way out there was a massive Christmas cake. I knew I shouldn �t, but I knew I would and I hate to disappoint myself! Anyway, got to keep my weight up! It was wonderful  and the first piece of the year. I am looking forward to your cooking query, Tap - although I won �t be able to help. Even when I follow the recipe step by literal step, it tastes no good. My husband always begs to differ, bless him. Lynne |

Oh sorry Lynne, but my cooking query was about as far from a British Christmas dish as you could imagine! :-))
I make Dundee fruit cakes for friends at Christmas because it’s lighter than the traditional British Christmas cake and I love the toasted almonds and the taste of whisky (I don’t drink alcohol but in desserts I make an exception!). I give them with a little miniature of whisky so they can ‘feed’ the cake until they eat it. Nom nom nom…. Tap |

And my cooking failures never extended to even an attempt at a Christmas cake... But my felafel is not bad. It �s with chickpeas though. Sorry!

Good night :) I am eating the most famous Turkish dessert "baklava" at the moment. When I read your chat about the cake, pies and so on I just couldn �t help eating it. I think I can put the blame for every calory I am taking on you :) |
