• On Courgette and bacon soup:

  Posted on 26th of August 2009

  Lovely soup, easy and satisfying and a good way to deal with a glut of courgettes

• On Elderflower cordial:

  Posted on 26th of June 2009

  I didn't have any citric acid (where can you buy it?) so I doubled the amount of lemons used, which gave a very slight bitter tinge to it, but it was still very refreshing and an easy recipe to follow.

• On 30-day muffins:

  This worked really well with blueberries, and it's easy to make the night before then pop in the oven for breakfast. Yummy!

• On Onion and cheese tart:

  Posted on 26th of June 2009

  I made this for a picnic with French goat's cheese, adding rosemary and a dribble of cream. It was really delicious and was gobbled up by all the picnickers

• On 30-day muffins:

  Posted on 4th of June 2009

  I just rated this 3 stars by mistake, it deserves 5! I made the muffins with blueberries and they were delicious, even days after making the batter

• On Harissa lemon pork:

  Posted on 28th of March 2009

  this was nice and easy but be careful not to overcook the pork. I think I did and it made it a bit tough. I mixed the salad with couscous and it worked well

• On Pumpkin kootu (lentils with pumpkin and fresh coconut):

  Posted on 25th of March 2009

  when do you add the cumin seeds and the green chillies?

• On Almond tartlets with raspberry jam and cream:

  Posted on 31st of January 2009

  What sort of tin do you use and should it be greased?

• On Coarse pork and herb terrine:

  Posted on 30th of January 2009

  And can it be frozen?

• On Lebanese borek:

  Posted on 30th of January 2009

  Did you try freezing them and if so, were they ok?

• On Spice-crusted sea bream wrapped in banana leaf:

  Posted on 29th of January 2009

  Where can I buy banana leaves? I live near Leeds

• On Risotto cakes with courgettes:

  Posted on 19th of September 2008

  Stop messing about like this! Apart from unclear instructions ( are we dealing with courgette slices or matchsticks?), why go to all the trouble of cooking a risotto twice? and who wants all this fat and olive oil? Life's too short

• On Ginger roast butternut squash and tomato salad:

  Posted on 30th of July 2008

  This was really delicious and I think it would be nice with couscous too, with perhaps slightly less cooking so vegetables don't get too soft.

• On Lavender shortbread:

  Posted on 22nd of July 2008

  have a look at Lotte Duncan's recipe for Lavender almond hearts

• On Hoso maki sushi:

  To stop the cooked rice sticking to your fingers, have a bowl with a little vinegar and water mixed in it to dip your fingers in before handling the rice. Also, the video doesn't show how to cut the fish, which would have been helpful
