Hi sweetpea14 -

Just boil, roast or bake them like ordinary potatoes. You can add them to soups, stews. In fact anything you can do with an ordinary potato you can do the same with a sweet potato.

I prefer the orange flesh ones to the white. My favourite is boiled, mashed, then mix in some grainy mustard and lemon juice to taste.

Check the links below where you will get loads of ideas.

Hi Hollibobs -

Check this link....which will take you to a page no. 100. Stay on that page and scroll down. I think this is the recipe you mean.

"The Hairy Bakers" is being shown on the BBC not UKTVFood.

You will find bread recipes on the BBCFood site on the link below.

I am not averse to watching this type of programme, but definitely not on the UKTVFood channel.

As you say, applesauce, it is more suited to the Discovery/Nature type channels.

Scuba Tony....

Use the link which I posted on 9 January. This will take you to the Hairy Bikers' website and the recipe.

Don't know if you are looking for a particular recipe, but here are links to a few.

Hi windy8 -

Usually you would soak the vermicelli in hot water for at least 10 minutes and drain well before adding to the pan. This is not indicated in the recipe.

I think the problem with this recipe is the addition of 4 eggs. Most Singapore Vermicelli/Noodle recipes do not add eggs. I have seen recipes where the noodles are served over a thinly sliced omelette, but this is made separately.

Have a look at the recipes on the links below.

Lots of the recipes on this site are a bit dodgy - a bit like playing Russian roulette. Posters have asked for ingredients/amounts to be checked, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. The recipes on the BBCFood site are much more reliable.

Tygris, you ask....."What has she got to offer in a culinary sense?"

She has written 4 successful cookery books and is presently working on her 5th.

She contributes to a wide range of magazines in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

She was named Cookery Writer of the Year by the Guild of Food Writers in 2007.

You can read about her on the link below.

I don't particularly like watching her, but credit where credit is due!

Hi Sommersunshine -

I was always under the impression that Baking Soda and Bicarbonate of Soda were one and the same, so I checked The Joy of Baking website and found this information.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda (alkali) is about four times as strong as baking powder. It is used in recipes that contain an acidic ingredient (e.g. vinegar, citrus juice, sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk, chocolate.

mbell....

I take it you are talking about "Saturday Kitchen", the programme in which Abi TITMUSS appeared, this was made by the BBC and not UKTVFood.

If the programme offended you so much you should direct your complaints to the BBC and not UKTVFood, although it's a bit late now as the programme first aired on 16th September, 2006.

I've just checked Sainsbury online. They have listed Sundora Coconut, sweetened and tenderised - 400gr pack for £1.49. Says it's ideal for making coconut ice, coconut pyramids, macaroon, biscuits, lamingtons and to decorate cakes, gateau and sweet truffles.

Also checked Julian Graves website. They have flaked coconut, but unfortunately no more details.

I don't think any series is linked to one particular book, but I could be wrong.

Hi Moosk -

The first thing that came to mind were Walkers Quavers. Don't know where you are, but they are still available in my neck of the woods, west central Scotland.

If you are looking for Silvana Franco's recipe for Green bean, macaroni and bacon frittata it's on the link below.
