Awesome English Beef Pot Pie
Chunks of beef steak are slowly cooked in a crock pot with carrots, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. In the end, top the succulent casserole with some buttery and flakey pastry to form a pie, after baking, it's golden brown and delicious.
Nova Scotia Gingerbread
Gingerbread that's more like a moist cake from Eastern Canada.
Waikiki Meatballs
These were delicious after a little bit of tweaking. I don't think I've ever made meatballs without some garlic, so I felt the need to add one large clove of minced along with a teaspoon of soy sauce, replacing the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, in the meat mixture...
Baked Apple Dumplings
This old classic has been modernized and scaled down. The biscuit dough absorbs the liquid from the warm soft apples. In an 1888 article on apple dumplings it is said that King George III (1738-1820) had been "sadly puzzled" wondering how the apple came to be inside the dumpling.
