The old thread seems to have disappeared :hmm:
I'm after an authentic Indian curry base sauce for vegetarian and chicken. There are loads on the internet but I want one that is tasty, medium spicy, lots of flavour and easy to make.
I hope somebody can help me with this. I want to make bread and butter pudding with brioche and whiskey. I was wondering if I should add the whiskey to the custard, soak the raisins or bread in it or just pour over before it goes in the oven? Tesco do a gorgeous brioche and butter pudding with amaretto soaked raisins but I was wondering if there's a different way to add whiskey as I'm too lazy to wait for raisins to soak.
Been a while since anyone posted in this thread but I have just had the best beef stew and dumplings ever ... I got myself a slow cooker a year ago and used this for the stew. Fried off the beef chunks in a pan then transferred to slow cooker, added chopped up carrots, turnip, celery, little raddishes the Spanish add to stew, green beans and a can of chopped tomatoes. Made dumplings with flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and milk .. Stew cooked on low for 8 hours, dumplings the last half hour .. delicious!!! :thumbsup::D

That sounds delicious Perdita, even though I'm a vegetarian. I wouldn't mind making a veggie version. I love love love dumplings! :)
Slow cookers are brilliant little gadgets. I baked a whole load of potatoes in mine a few days ago.

I left most of the meat and had mainly the vegetables and will have just vegetables with the leftovers .. I am not a total vegetarian but will eat vegetarian dishes more than meat dishes. My dogs sure loved a little meat and lots of the veg too for their dinner but the dumplings are all mine .... never made them like this before but will do in future!! yummmmy :D Would never have thought of making baked spuds in sc :eek:

I bet your dogs loved you even more than usual after that meal! :D
Slow cookers can be used as mini ovens and I've seen recipes for just about anything cooked in them: cakes, bread, pizza, etc. I've tried apple crumble but it didn't work out too well because the crumble topping was soggy not crisp... :sick:
I think it'd work well for anything that doesn't need to be crisped up though.
Yes, I have seen roast pork recipes that get finished off in a traditional oven for the crackling and also for cakes etc you need to put a tea towel under the lid to catch the moisture .... not done anything like that yet :D

That's a good tip about the tea towel under the lid. Maybe my crumble would have turned out OK if I'd done that. :D
Rice pudding is very nice done in a slow cooker.
I google a lot of recipes and for slow cooker ones I always have a look at slow cooker central, Australian lady set it up and it is a very very popular site, you can buy recipe books from amazon too, seen lots of hints and tips for various recipes. Example for apple pie crumble http://www.slowcookercentral.com/recipe/individual-apple-crumble/

Oooh thanks. I'll have a browse on that site to pick up some ideas. :)
I made this today for the first time but with strawberries and no sour cream for the cake base ... did not make a difference as far as I can tell .. this cake is just delicious ... was looking for coffee in the recipe but think it is just an American description of a cake to have with coffee ... main thing is, it turned out great ... although in my oven I baked it for half hour longer :)
