    Well been looking at Turkish recipe to try it's a Turkish stew very different to English stew, I just need to buy a few ingreedience spices I don't have etc. I love cooking too.  Need to eat more veg n fruit, syrup sponge sounds nice but no good for me diabetic.

    @lisathomas50

    Just use the sponge recipe I shared yesterday that is a basic sponge and add stuff to it like toffee pieces (you can get them in baking section ) or choc chips 

    Use an ice cream scoop to put mixture in bun cases 

    Then bake in oven about 18 to 20 mins leave to cool 

    I then scoop out bit from top and put caramel in you can buy Nestle caramel in tin 

    Then you can buy ready made frosting or make your own 

    If you cant pipe just put some on top using knife 

    You can add flavourings to sponge mix as well like coffee,  cocoa , flavoured essence 
    Just have a play with flavours you like

    For those of you that are not very confident at cooking I also make a cheats pie as below 

    Meat and potato 

    2 tins steak in gravy 

    1 large tin new potatoes

    Ready made pastry either puff or short crust 

    Put meat in dish 
    Cut up potatoes and add on top of meat 

    Open out ready rolled pastry and cut to size put some of ends round rim pie dish then add cut out top and press at edges to pastry on rim 

    Brush with beaten egg and bake for about 35 to 40 mins at 180 degrees 

    You can make this with other fillings like tinned chicken in white sauce or minced beef just what you fancy 

    Even tinned fruit just sprinkle sugar on pastry to make it sweet
