Tomato paste
Tomato paste, or tomato concentrate, consists of tomatoes that have been cooked for several hours, strained and reduced to a thick, rich concentrate. It is generally fairly sweet.
Tomato puree consists of tomatoes that have been cooked briefly and strained, resulting in a thick liquid.
Tomato sauce is a somewhat thinner tomato puree, and may include seasonings and other flavorings so that it is ready to be used in other dishes or as a base for other sauces

MUFFINS BY SHIREEN
Muffins
8 Tbsp butter
16 Tbsp castor sugar - levelled
12 Tbsp flour - slightly heaped
2 tsp baking powder
4 Tbsp semolina - slightly heaped
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 eggs
2-3 Tbsp milk
1/4 cup blueberry pie filling
Beat butter till it starts to get fluffy.
While continuing to beat, slowly add sugar until is is well mixed and light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mixed well.
In a separate bowl sift baking powder and flour together. Once sifted, add semolina and mix well. Set aside.
Back to butter mix. Add 1 egg, beat well and add 1 Tbsp of flour mix.* Continue to do this for each of the other 3 eggs.
Stir blueberries into the left over flour* and stir well so that berries are covered in flour. Add the flour and blueberry mix into butter mix, and add milk in too. Fold this mix together so s batter is formed. Set aside.
Place cupcake cases into cupcake tray.
Add 1 Tbsp of mix into each case - they should only be 3/4 full. (add a little more mix if needed to get to 3/4 full)
Add 1 tsp of blueberry pie filling on top of muffin batter, then swirl with a toothpick or skewer.
Bake for 20 mins at 190 degrees.
Enjoy
*mixing any dried fruit or nuts into flour stops them from sinking to the bottom of what you are cooking.
**beating 1 egg then flour and repeating this prevents mix from curdling. This means the mix splits and becomes tough.
*** these can be used for breakfast or for kids lunch boxes.

Egg and Mushroom Buns
4Burger buns
2 Tbsp Butter
4 Eggs
4 Tbsp Cheddar cheese
4 Tbsp Mushrooms sliced
3 Tbsp Onion chopped
4 Tbsp Ketchup
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
2 Tbsp Coriander leaves chopped Crushed red pepper for garnish
Preheat oven 190 degrees.
Place butter in pan, melt and add onion. Cook till onion becomes clear. Add mushrooms, Stir well and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, after adding salt and pepper. Once done, set aside.
While onion mix is cooking, place a cutter in top of burger bun to get a marking of where to cut, then use a knife to cut the circle out. If you don't have a cutter, just cut a circle with knife. However you cut the circle, don't go down to the bottom you must leave a little layer underneath as you will be placing filling in the hollowed out area of bun. (you do need to take out some of the centre of the bun to make room for filling to sit. Leave a 1/2 inch border around outside of circle as the walls of the bun. Place buns in a baking tray.
Place a tablespoon of ketchup in the base of each bun, then evenly distribute onion & mushroom mix between each bun.
Gently crack an egg into bun over filling. It's important that the yolk stay whole. (you may wish to crack egg into a teacup first and then slide into bun). Sprinkle with a tablespoon of cheddar cheese in each bun and bake in the oven at 190 degrees for 5 minutes if you like your yolk very soft, to 8 minutes if you prefer the yolks harder.
As the buns come out of oven, sprinkle with crushed red chilli and green corriander. Serve while hot.

Filling Roll by shireen
Filling Roll
Dough
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
4 Tbsp castor sugar
3 Tbsp butter - melted
2 Tbsp milk powder
1 egg
2 tsp instant yeast
Luke warm water - as required
Filling
1 cup strawberry Jam* + 2-3 drops red food colouring - mix well.
1 egg beaten - for brushing
Mix all dough ingredients and mix with Luke warm water - enough to make a soft dough. Rub a bowl with oil, and add dough. Rub a little oil on top of dough. Set aside to rise until dough has doubled (about 45 mins).
Once dough has risen, roll out dough to a long rectangular shape. Spread jam over dough leaving 1 inch at the top of dough with no jam. Roll dough from end closest to you, away from you until rolled to top (like a Swiss roll). Cut roll in 1 inch pieces using a bread/serated knife.
Preheat oven to 190 degrees.
Place each piece of dough on their side (so swirl of jam is showing) into a cupcake pan, place plastic bag over them so no air gets to them as they rise for another 30 mins.
Once they have risen again, remove bag and using clean kitchen sissors snip in centre if dough, then repeat in other direction so a cross is made. Brush well with beaten egg, and cook for about 20 minutes at 190 degrees.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy
*you could replace jam with Nutella for a choc flavour - why not add some chopped toasted hazelnuts or almonds for a surprising crunch!!
