Walnut Torte

"From my grandmothers collection of handwritten recipes. No name, but from 1965. Serve with whipped cream. Can be sliced and filled with butter cream if you want to be fancy. Suitable to make the day before. Almonds or hazelnuts could be used in stead of walnuts. I recommend using almond essence in stead of vanilla if you choose either instead of walnuts."

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br />As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name). &nbsp;My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on. &nbsp;I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I&nbsp;enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby.<br />My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this. &nbsp;I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later.<br />When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church.<br />My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.</p>
