plain vanilla and chocolate sponges freeze well just put greaseproof paper between them so they don't stick.

I make yorkshires (measure equal quantities in a tea cup or something of flour, eggs and milk& water), cook them up and feed them back to the hens. That recipe makes the most amazing Yorkshire puds for the table too but make sure you have plenty of room in the oven as they grow upwards at an amazing rate   :D

Quiches - all flavours! buy some ready made pastry cases, mix your eggs with a little milk and whatever ingredients you like and bake gently at about 180 degrees until just setting. Once cool they will keep for a few days ni the fridge or they freeze really well

our favourite combinations are

broccoli and cheese
cheese and tomato
cheese and onion
spicy peperoni

Lemon curd  and Home made ice-cream with the yolks and meringues with the whites (they keep in an airtight tin for ages)

4 egg whites to 10oz caster sugar, 2 teaspoons cornflour and 1 teaspoon vinegar (don't leave it out). Whisk the egg whites until frothy and add half the sugar...continue to whisk until really stiff then fold in the remaining sugar, cornflour and vinegar...pile onto baking parchment (if it helps, draw round a 9" tin on the reverse) and cook on 150oC for an hour. Leave to cool, turn upside down onto a plate and pile whipped cream on top...chuck some fruit on the cream (strawberries are always a winner) and you have the best Pavlova ever. Foolproof, even my sons can cook it  :D

What about pickling them - lots of lovely eggs for when they go off-lay a bit in the winter (if you can leave them alone for that long  :yum: ;) )

Jar of Sarsons white vinegar - holds about 15 hard boiled & uses about half of the vinegar (which you can use in another empty jar).  Try & leave them at least 2 weeks before eating  ;) thsimples  :D

Tara loves to cook this one

spaghetti alla carbonara

serves four
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
250g pancetta ir very smoky bacon,cut into tiny cubes
100g unsalted butter
150ml dry white wine
4whole eggs
2 egg yolkes
100g parmesan cheese grated
400g spaggeti
pepper

first warm the oil in a frying pan and fry the panccheta slowly until golden. All the lovley smokey flavours will leech into the oil. add half the butter then the wine and simmer for a couple of minutes.
 
in a bowl beat the whole eggs with the egg yolks and add the cheese.

cook the spaggeti acourdind to the packet.drain pasta. add to the warm pancetta or bacon mixture and mix until the pasta is nicly couted .stir in the eggs and cheese (the heat from the pasta will cook the egg)

stir in the remaining butter and chek the seasoning and serve right away with a crunchy salad.

I'll dig them out tonight. I've just put all my folders into the shed as we have company and they look a bit untidy my project for this year is to file them nicely and laminate all recipes
