Hehe! Seen that webpage before and have tried several of the recipes. They're good tasting and starightforward, but you can definately taste the richness so if you don't like the taste of cream and butter then they're less useful.

I however, don't mind and have found such recipes good for a fattening meal with small volume. x

have you tried the banana bread? i was interested in trying that one...

I haven't done that particular one but it's much the same as most other banana bread recipes in terms of cals. The best ways to up the cals in it are to put extra raisins, choco chips, or nuts in it, and my personal fave is to spread it with peanut butter or nutella! Please try it - you won't be dissapointed!

Also if you like oats, the oatmeal recipes good but i reccomend cooking with wholemilk, then stirring in some cream at the end and topping with whatever you like. The cream isn't high in calcium but milk is! x
