Honeycomb Cheesecake
I made this last week, it again came from a zaar member and we all loved it. It was first time for me doing a no bake cheesecake as all my recipes require baking. It tasted awesome and was lighter than my baked cheesecake recipes, but I think I will say I still much prefer baked cheesecake it is much denser in texture which I love. But the whole family even my sister who came over and tried some thought it had a really good flavour. If you would like to read all the reviews on this recipe please click here.I am also thinking about starting back catering again, I have catered before for small dinner parties and for large parties of about 50 people, although never anything huge like a few hundred, but am always up for new challenges. I am based in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland and would like to cater from Lausanne to the Geneva area, if you are reading this site and are from around this area I would love to know what you think, so all comments welcome.

Red Curry Oysters
I made this the other night, it is another recipe from a zaar member and I loved it, it such a different way of preparing oysters apart from the more traditional kilpatrick, mornay and rockafeller. They are spicy, so if your not a spicy lover these are not for you, I love spicy food and these were a great combination and you still got the flavour of the oyster coming through.
I am going to be posting a few zaar members recipes as I have made so many lately, but I also need to catch up on mine, I think, I have about 3 or 4 recipes still waiting to be posted.
I am also thinking about starting back catering again, I have catered before for small dinner parties and for large parties of about 50 people, although never anything huge like a few hundred, but am always up for new challenges.
