The NYTimes published Marian Burros’s recipe for Plum Torte years ago and regularly reprinted it. I found this recipe only a few years ago and its wonderful.

Sex on the Beach
This is a great afternoon, early evening drink, light in alcohol and refreshing. Another recipe that is good made by the batch. This recipe is for one but simply change the number of drinks you would like to make in the “Servings box” below.

Muesli with Honey and Apricots

Muesli with Maple Syrup and Dried Cranberries
I can’t really say that making your own muesli is the cheapest thing but it certainly will be the best that you are likely to eat. I can’t say how much we enjoy eating this for breakfast.

Mushroom & Sausage Canapes
Very quick, 2 ingredients and canape, these are tasty these make a nice warm savory canape that can be made ahead of time. Just pop them into the oven when your guests arrive! I like these and guests are usually very happy with them. The best thing is that you can make them hours ahead and you can serve a warm savory canape with little effort.

Potato Pancakes with Smoked Salmon Canapes
Once the pancakes are made, a large tray of these can be made in minutes and make a pretty impressive presentation. This is one of my favorite canapes. Its a bit labor intensive making the pancakes but, they can be made ahead and crisped up in a hot oven.

Barbeque Sauce 1 (Thai Oyster Sauce) – This is a good all purpose barbeque sauce. I use it for grilled or barbequed shrimp, shallow fried soft-shell crabs and the like. It can be used in a pork or beef stir-fry and keeps for a couple of weeks in the fridge.

This is far superior to bottled chili sauces and is quick and easy to make.
