Macadamia Nut Brownie
"You can use almonds or hazelnuts as an alternative. Also, the rum can be substituted with milk. These brownies can be frozen. From Leith's recipe of the day in the Daily Mail. Note: Test by inserting a skewer into the centre - there should be a little undercooked mixture there. They'll firm up as they cool."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying.
My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
