    Carrot cake - sorry, don't have recipe but sure someone will. Also very tasty created, mix in a few raisins and dress with a vinegarette dressing. Really yummy.
    Carrot and corriander soup?
    Sorry I don't have specific recipies, but the ideas might jog other peoples memories, or failing that I'd imagine a search on google would get them for you.
    If all else fails, slice/chop then blanche and freeze?

    Saute some onion in a little butter or oil (with a little celery and garlic if you like) when it begins to soften add your carrots (about 1lb per small onion), and a little salt. Let them saute (with the lid on and on a low heat), after about 10 mins add between 1/2 - 1 tablespoon corriander seeds. Grate the rind of an orange and add alongside the juice and about 1 pint of stock - chicken or vegetable. Finish cooking the carrots and then liquidise, adusting the salt/pepper to taste, and adding a little liquid if needed. You can also add a handfull of finely chopped corriander leaves if liked.

    This makes a beautiful soup

    Chopped carrots go in shepherds pie and all sorts of stews. I have a recipie which uses grated carrot and cumin in a muffin batter to make savoury muffins. Carrot and corriander soup and carrot cake are lovely as has already been mentioned.

    I have also roasted carrots as an accompaniment, either with shallots and marinaded in honey and balsamic vinegar or with a selection of other winter veg (I used celery, leek, onion, turnip, swede, whole cloves of garlic and carrot, I did the potatoes and parsnips seperate) with a little stock poured over and some quartered lemons pushed in among the veg. You could roast carrots with potatoes and/or parsnips too.

    I have also sometimes used pureed carrot as a desert. You could mix in a little cream, I tend to use evaporated milk for economy, and could sweeten it a little with sugar, honey or maple syrup though it's pretty sweet as is. I've mixed it into a custard and baked it in a pie before. It's pretty similar to pumpkin pie.
