Dalziel Douglas from The Black Douglas introduces us to her amazing Black Currant and amaretto cheese cake “Try this party piece that will knock your guests pants off!"

I often serve this salad as a starter at the Black Douglas supper clubs. It can be varied by adding parma ham, caper berries, dry cured smoked lamb, smoked tongue, chorizo or parmesan.

Slow cook shin of beef stew by Mumzine gastronomy guru, Dalziel Douglas from The Black Douglas I served this recently at an event and it was a real crowd pleaser. The trick is to give yourself enough time to cook it really slowly so it just collapses in your mouth. Put it in the oven in the morning and you will have a real treat for supper. Shin of Beef is cut of beef from the lower leg of the cow and it is also known as shank. The shin is a cheap cut and costs around £4.25 a pound. This is a perfect winter warmer for all the family!
