It seems to be on their website, although their website is down for maintenance at the moment, but if you use the cached version instead, it's there. I've copied it here for ease.... Hmm, except I'm getting a foodlovers forum error so something in the recipe is mucking up the coding. I'll play around with it and see if I can get it to post.....: I've altered the wording of the method slightly (but not the method itself, don't worry) so there will be no copyright issues.
[www.lacigale.co.nz]
Gooey Lemon Slice
Crust
1½ cups flour
¾ cup castor sugar
150g butter
Filling
4 large eggs
1¾ cup castor sugar
2/3 cup lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
Finely grated zest of 3 lemons
1/3 cup plain flour, sifted
Icing sugar to dust
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Use baking paper to line a 20 x 35cm tin. Into a food processor, put the flour and sugar for the crust and pulse to sift. Add butter and process until you get fine crumbs. Press the crumbs into the base of the tin. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 140°C.
Method for the Filling
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and very thick. Fold in the lemon zest and juice, and then the flour (make sure the flour is properly folded in).
Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 40 minutes or until set.
Cool completely before cutting into squares. Dust with some icing sugar.

You're welcome Marylew.
A trick you can use if a website isn't showing it's usual page, is to click on the "cached" option. This is accessed by clicking on the little down arrow that's usually showing at the end of the web address that comes up for each website in your search results. For example, if I do a search for la cigale lemon slice, the first search result I get is for their website that's not working, and that search result is shown like this:
www.lacigale.co.nz › recipes › gooey-lemon-slice
Gooey Lemon Slice - La Cigale
Gooey Lemon Slice - Filling - 4 large eggs - 1¾ cup castor sugar - 2/3 cup lemon juice (about 4-
5 lemons) - Finely grated zest of 3 lemons - 1/3 cup plain flour, sifted ...
When you look at that search result, you'll see, at the end of the www.lacigale.co.nz › recipes › gooey-lemon-slice line there's a little down arrow. If you click on that, a little box will come up with the word "cached" in it. Cached means, even though the webpage is no longer available, there is an historical record of it on the internet system, which you can still access. So then you click on the little "cached" box and it will take you to the old saved page. The saved page might look a bit odd but that's just the way it works.

Thanks J1 that is very helpful.I have never had computer lessons I have taught myself very basic steps with this computer.I can get around most sites but am very limited to what I can post on here like a recipe,I would have to hand type it for you.I really appreciate it when members on here give reference to a site or a product that I can just click on.I am always in awe of all of you with your various talents.I will print out your explaination and use it in future.Thanks again.

I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to give you instructions for how you can copy recipes off the internet into a file on your computer where you could keep such things (e.g. Windows Word, or WordPad,etc -anywhere where you can type words and sentences, etc).
So we're going to copy Foodlovers Recipe Mary's Powder Puffs.
We go to that webpage [www.foodlovers.co.nz]
If you want to keep a copy of just that web page address, you go up to where it is at the top of your screen (in the address bar) and click with your mouse anywhere in the address bar, and the address will highlight in blue. The blue shows what will be copied.
To copy it, press your keyboard "Ctrl" button and, while holding that button down, also press your "c" button. "C" stands for "copy". You've just told your computer you want to copy whatever is highlighted in blue at the moment. Your computer is now keeping that stuff in its memory and, while it's remembering it for you, you then go to where you want to paste that stuff. This will be your Word document, or a foodlovers message box or an email you're typing, etc. Once you're at that place, place your cursor where you want to paste the stuff, and then, on your keyboard, press "Ctrl" and, while holding that button down, also press your "v" button. "V" is for paste. The web page address should then show up in your document. There are other things I could tell you at this point but I'll keep it simple.
So now you might want to copy all of the recipe for Mary's Powder Puffs.
So we're back at the web page that shows the recipe.
Place your mouse (the vertical bar that shows onscreen when you move your mouse around) to the left of the title for the recipe, that is, to the left of the "M" in Mary's Powder Puffs. You need to place your mouse's vertical bar there and keep holding your mouse button down and start moving your mouse down the page, all the time holding your mouse button down. This makes everything highlight in blue. It can be a bit tricky but if you have trouble just keep going back to the M for Mary and trying again. So you are highlighting in blue as you move with your mouse down the page until you get to the last words of the recipe - "Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving".
You can now take your hand off the mouse and everything will remain highlighted in blue.
On your keyboard, press the Ctrl key and your "c" key. Your computer has just copied everything highlighted in blue and is holding it in its memory for you.
While it's remembering it for you, go to where you want to paste the recipe. This might be a Word document. Once you're positioned at the place where you want the recipe to copy to, press your "Ctrl" key and, while holding that button down, also press your "v" button. The recipe should then show up in your document.
Now, your copied recipe will be full of stuff you probably don't want: pictures it's copied at the same time, random extra bits off the webpage that aren't part of the recipe, lots of different colours and fonts, etc. You especially don't want all that extra stuff if you're going to print the recipe out, because all that colour and big fonts and extra pictures, etc, just uses up heaps of printer ink. So the really good step to do now is what I explain next. It gets rid of all the fancy stuff, including pictures.
Immediately after you've pasted the recipe into your Word document, you'll see a little box at the bottom of it all. It will have an icon plus "(Ctrl)" (well, I'm on android system, Microsoft software, so hopefully you are too).
Click on the little down arrow in that box. It will give you paste options. If you hover your mouse over the paste option symbols, it will tell you what each one does and it will also show you, at the same time as you hover, what your recipe will look like if you choose that option. The most basic option is to choose the one that has "A".
So click on the one with the "A".
Your recipe will convert to just plain text.
You can then go through it like you would any document or email or message you are typing, and tidy it up more, however you like - getting rid of the extra bits of text that still show up, correcting spelling mistakes, etc.
That's your recipe, without all the fancy bits, now on your computer. From there, you can Ctrl c and Ctrl v it to any other place - foodlovers message board, email, etc.
If you really want pictures, you can just copy paste them individually into your recipe again after you've tidied up the colours, fonts, etc.

Could I also make another suggestion? Some of you will be 'of a certain age' (i.e. over 50) and there may well be a SeniorNet group in your area. If there is, you can take advantage of the wide variety of subjects taught by the volunteers who are in the same age group and therefore teach at a pace that is suitable for this age group. To find if there is a group in your area look here:
[seniornet.co.nz]
There's a wealth of information on the SeniorNet web site about courses which are not confined to just computers, but all sorts of modern technology such as smart-phones, tablets, wrist-worn devices, etc,etc, and these devices are capable of opening up new worlds to those of us less technically capable.
