A few of us were just talking in chat and it seems we all have interesting recipes to share with each other so this thread is just for that.
I'm going to start the ball rolling

This is not a dinner recipe. It is actually a fantastic rub for a sore back:

Use a base oil of sweet almond oil, pour an inch into the bottom of a ramekin dish.
Add 6 drops of each of these essential oils:
Black pepper
Lavender
Rosemary
Chamomile

Massage onto the sore area. This has worked like magic for me.

Yummy pud you dont have too cook

1 vanilla pod
500mls whipped cream
100/150g ameretti buiscuts
splash of ameretto liq
100g brown sugar
100g dark choc
4 eggs seperated

Either the night before or 3-4 hours before you want to make this line a plastic container/tupperware box (must be one you can safely put in the freezer) line this with cling film. Then crush your buiscuits and stir in a splash of ameretto liq. Spread the mix of buiscuts and liq onto the bottom of your container and freeze
1 Melt your dark chocolate over a low heat
2 Remove from the heat when melted and beat in the egg yolks and sugar until its thick
2 Whisk the egg whites until they form peaks (same as if you were making a meringue) Then add your whisked egg whites to the bowl with your melted choc/yolks/sugar and mix together.
3 In a seperate bowl whip together your cream/vanilla seeds/splash of ameretto liq
4 Take your container form the freezer and pour your mixture over the frozen buiscut base and pop back into the freezer for a couple of hours before you want to serve it
It should slice easily and hopefully taste yummy
