Contrary to appearances, this isn't a newly discovered Dead Sea Scroll, but a couple of pages from my grandmother's handwritten recipe book, giving the recipe she always used for Christmas cake with marzipan (almond icing) & white icing. She was a Londoner all her life and this is very much a traditional British Christmas cake.

Alternative Deviled Egg Recipe

 

My daughter and I worked this one out because the whole family LOVES wasabi

 

 

You can find great "Nori Mixes" in paper cans at most grocery store International isles, if not thy can be ordered on line. You could also just cut up plane nori sheets to top the eggs.
