Post your recipes

If your recipes are stolen/copied recipes, just add some touches of your own - that way they're less generic and you know that you've actually made "your version of", could be as simple as adding/altering one or two ingredients.
Just that I think if you're going through the effort to make something of your own, especially if it's something you might pass on to family and friends - make it 100% your own more original creations, experiment with them etc.
IMO, that's all.

Excellent advice. I cook a lot, but my specialty seems to be Italian (by frequency of guest request, anyway) I substitute cheeses a lot, especially cream cheese for ricotta, and it always goes over well with my mates. I also got one basic recipe for stuffed mushrooms, and have altered it into many different combinations and flavors.

Yeah My GF was just saying that - so theres ones I've not tried. what I'll do is make amendments and rescan the page with handwritten notes/stickers on it. I never really follow recipes 100% anyway..

Now, as much as I'd appreciate the help from all, this time, ideally I'm after an answer from someone who'd had some experience making the traditional form of this recipe...I'd rather avoid anything too processed or packeted, I'm happy to put in the required effort from scratch.
If there's anyone who actually knows a thing or two about it, and doesn't have to refer me to an webpage or cut/paste info from one, I would really like to hear from you on this:

Apple Fool.

...you want us to tell you how to make this dish but without giving you the recipe? Everything I know about apple fool I've learned from websites.

[cheebacheeba]

There were these things called books too...
The simple explanation is - It's an old recipe - as I said, on this occasion I would prefer it from someone who's had experience making it, ideally who'd had a recipe handed down and learned it that way or at very least based upon an older more traditional recipe.
There is a difference in these things, methods change, ingredients change, substitutions are made and recipes are lost, their most original forms being handed down as opposed to resourced from random websites.
Not saying there's a problem with those, they just don't fit my purposes at this time.

Thanks for stepping in though, much appreciated.

I don't have experience making it, but I do have a collection of vintage recipe books. I can take a look for you if you like, or if you don't find someone with the particular experience you are looking for.

Had a look through our oldest cookbook and no mention of it in there. Sorry.

All good FC

That would be a bit closer to what I'm looking for, surely.
I don't mind checking that out.

Though people, my call still stands for any generational recipe if possible too.
