Does anyone have the recipe for cheesecake using soft cheese and packet jelly. It is ages since I made it and wanted to do it yesterday for a family visit and couldn't remember it. I remember I used the sponge flans you can buy as a base.

I found this for you - any good?

16 years ago when I had just had DD1 (and I was only 25) my Mum got me Woman's Weekly and I have bought every issue since then. It really doesn't deserve its stuffy image. It has great OS recipes, health tips, alternative health stuff, knitting patterns, gardening and great fiction every week, and has almost no celebrity stuff in it. I love it and look forward to Wednesdays when it gets delivered. I also loved Family Circle, although didn't buy it regularly. I always get the Good Housekeeping, Prima and Essentials Christmas Issues, but don't bother any other time. I hate all the celebrity magazines and found it really sad to read in WW the other month that when a cross section of schoolchildren under the age of 11 were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, the greatest number said that they wanted to be famous....not for anything in particular, just famous - grrr... it makes me want to move to France!!

I have to say I have been impressed with the FREE mag from somerfields!!

Recipes and shopping list page (for those recipes!) quite a variety including meals for one!

I have not bought a mag in yonks ...... nothing seems to fill what I want, hence my use of the internet (thats my excuse!)

Where can I find out about this?

Many thanks!

There is a full page advert for it in the current 'Grow Your Own' mag, I just asked at my local newsagents to get it in for me, 1st edition out on 1st September, it looks really good and should be if it's to the 'grow your own' standard.

Ah home and Freezer digest, used to buy it in Bejam back in the 70's, lovely little magazine.

the only recipes that I use regularly have been cut out of Family Circle as they work. they did an article on doing an economic tray bake tea for a cricket club yonks ago and this has been the main stay of my cake making . Most of their recipes were economical and they always gave the cost of the ingredients.
Sad to see it go.

Thanks Ruby. It soounds like the one I made from HFD except I cheated on the base. Back to cheesecakes again!

My boyfriend laughed at me when I bought a Family Circle magazine because he thought it was all about babies. I told him there were some great household tips and recipes in there. But for a ready meal king I doubt it would be very interesting.
