This is another recipe calculator. It comes in pretty handy: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

As another Brit., I'm with Hyacinth on the comfort food stuff. When we go to pot-lucks etc., I can't but help make the highest calorific recipe I can find.

I don't touch it but I get satisfaction from watching people dig in.

Treacle Tart is a favourite of mine.

[QUOTE=Highlandlass;512321]Spotty Dick and Custard sounds pornographic (oh my, get my mind out of the gutter). What is Spotty Dick and Custard if you please?

it's a traditional british steamed pudding. One of my childhood favorites.

I so love to cook for others, I have always been known for my cooking. I thought after surgey that I might end of hating cooking, however my love for it hasn't changed, and Im glad. No maybe the kinds of food I cook is different for the most part, but my love of cooking is still there. I get many many request. And I have started to notice that since the weight has started coming off, Im getting more and more request for the kinds of food I prepare now. Life is good and Im loving it. So embrace your gifts, and don't feel strange about it.

Thanks Hychap for the link to Spotted Dick at epicurious....of course I've had it, years ago. My Scottish grandma made steamed pudding with custard. We just didn't call it Spotted Dick. We also had a darker steamed pudding with a caramel sauce, usually at Christmas. Thanks for bringing back memories....

I've always been a baker...and even though I can't (or actually 'won't') eat any of it, I've found myself obsessed with baking, particularly cookies.

I've also perfected several of my favorite (from scratch) brownie receipes.

The running joke at work is that all my co-workers have 'found' all the weight I've lost....
