This moreish slice is fabulous with a cup of tea to give you an energy boost mid-afternoon or as a decadent after-dinner treat.
MAKES 40 SMALL PIECES
200g butter
½ cup caramel condensed milk
½ cup brown sugar
2 x 250g packets Griffins gingernut biscuits
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
2 tsp ground ginger
Line a 20 x 30cm sponge roll tin with baking paper.
Melt the butter, condensed milk and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Pour into a standmixer or use electric hand-held beaters to beat until thickened.
Put the gingernuts into a food processor and blitz until you have large crumbs; this may need to be done in several batches.
Add the gingernuts, walnuts, apricots and ginger to the butter mixture and stir to combine really well.
Place the mixture into the prepared tin, press flat using a spatula or palette knife, and leave to set in the fridge for an hour.
Ginger and Orange Icing
2½ cups icing sugar
½ tsp ground ginger
50g butter, melted
finely grated zest and juice of 1 orange
50g crystallised ginger, sliced
Place the ingredients into a standmixer and whisk until you have a smooth creamy icing.
Spread the icing over the slice evenly using a palette knife.
The slice is best kept refrigerated and keeps really well for a couple of weeks.
We ate many dishes similar to this while spending time in Italy and they were all different depending on the part of Tuscany that we were in. This is our version of a Tuscan chicken casserole and it’s very moreish and flavoursome. I love it in the winter and any leftovers get tossed through some pasta the next day.
These little meatballs have a great flavour to them and can also be served as a canapé with the yoghurt dressing – just serve on a platter with toothpicks and the dressing in a little dipping bowl to the side. The meatballs can also be frozen once rolled, so it’s great to make up plenty of them and have some in the freezer to call on for an easy week-night dinner.
Here in Texas, the land of cattle and roughly 130 million acres of ranchland, buttermilk flows thick and heavy-not from their livestock (Texans are in the beef business), but rather into their mixing bowls.
It's hard to fathom it, but the loud and proud thrumming of the Louisiana we walk today is but a fraction of what came before.
Nadiya Hussain's hearty tagine recipe is layered with warming spices and fragrant preserved lemon, and packed with tender chicken, potato and olives.
The beauty of the Reverse Creaming Method is the fine and velvety texture it helps create. The way that it is able to accomplish this plush interior is by minimizing gluten formation.
This sandwich is my childhood all wrapped up in a beefjus-soaked Italian sub roll.

If you love your cookies soft and gooey, you'll love Fitwaffle's Easter cookie pots. Studded with Mini Eggs and baked in the air fryer, they couldn't be easier to make.
