It's easy and it goes great with tamales, tacos, or similar. Think "Mexican Spaghetti"! From "Flavours of Mexico" by Clare Ferguson. http://www.grouprecipes.com/100327/sopa-seca-e-fideo-dry-soup-with-pasta.html Date And Apple Cake A gorgeous cake that's not too heavy but explodes with sweet buttery goodness. Won best cake in the 2009 Icebreaker Company Cake-Off, Wellington, New Zealand (judged by chefs Steve Logan and Al Brown!) http://www.grouprecipes.com/100034/date-and-apple-cake.html Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies With Lemon Icing From "Big, Soft, Chewy Cookies", by Jill Van Cleave. When I make these cookies, I generally substitute grapefruit rind/juice for the lemon rind/juice... extra tangy and delicious! I generally leave out the poppy seeds as well. http://www.grouprecipes.com/63671/lemon-poppy-seed-cookies-with-lemon-icing.html Gianduia Mousse Cake Stiffer than a mousse, but more luscious than a cake, this Mousse Cake will knock the socks off of anyone lucky enough to try it. It takes a few hours of work, though, so save it for special occasions.
