So here you go, here are the 2 recipes Ive tried so far from the 100 original recipe book, and both are very nice!! and free on original!!!

Tuna Quiche (page 40)
Serves 6

1 medium onion, chopped
3 rashers lean bacon, finely chopped
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of rosemary (optional)
2 70oz/198g tuna in brine
1 tomato, sliced
2 mushrooms, sliced

Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5. Dry fry the onion with the bacon until onion is soft. Place in a shallow ovenproof dish. Beat the eggs with the seasoning. Drain the tuna well and flake. Add to the dish with the bacon and onion, and then pour beaten egg over the top. Arrange the slices of tomato and mushroom on top. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until set and golden brown. Serve hot or cold.

I personally left the bacon in full pieces and made a "base" in the dish, topped with onion and tuna and it was scrummy!!

Meat and Egg Loaf (page 90)
Serves 4

340g/12oz extra lean minced beef
1 level tbsp tomato puree
pepper
pinch nutmeg
pinch dried thyme
1 large egg raw
1 small onion finely chopped
0.5 level tsp salt
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
pinch of allspice
1 level tsp finely chopped parsley
2 hard boiled eggs

Preheat oven to 190C/Gas 5. put all ingredients in a bowl, except the hard bolied eggs, and combine thoroughly. Shape the meat mixture into a flat rectangle and place the hard boiled eggs down the centre. Roll the meat around the eggs. Place in a small (1lb) lined loaf tin, cover with foil and cook for 45 - 55 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes to brown the top. Serve hot or cold.

I personally didnt have all the spices and things listed, I just had meat, onion, pepper, salt, dried mixed herbs and chilli powder as thats all I have in my cupboard at the moment. Like I said, I forgot to put the tomato puree in, which made it a bit bland, but it was still nice, and very very filling!!!!!!! You have been warned!!! :rotfl:[/quote]will try this , sounds great
