"This is my favourite potato recipe of all time. It makes the perfect accompaniment to a roast or any other meat dish. Traditional recipes for this take 1 1/2 - 2 hours to cook, so I start mine off in the microwave. Some recipes are very rich, calling for all cream plus butter and cheese on the top.

"A delicious low fat and EASY dessert to impress! A wonderful mix of ingredients that is great served with home-made ice cream or creme fraiche.

"Wanted to use up old mealy apples and ended up with a scrumptious, almost dessert-like creation! I adapted this from an internet microwave apple sauce recipe and the Joy of Cooking's french apple sauce recipe. Funny thing is they both called for sugar, but I don't think it needs it."
