can anyone help i recently wanted to try a recipe for a curry,but needed a spice grinder (dont have one).never seen one would a coffee grinder work???? where do i get one?? want to learn how to make a good authentic indian curry myself rather than get a take away . the jars of curry you buy in supermarkets just dont do it for me.

i love the old irish recipe of bacon,cabbage and potatoes,but it take rather a long time to cook the big bacon joint. i have found a really tasty alternative an its really (especially if you go to aldi)cheap.get some bacon smoked or unsmoked (bacon bits work well) chop it up into small pieces fry it in alarge frying pan with some onion and garlic chop up a savoy cabbage an add to the pan a handfull a time so to wilt keep stiring when its done to your liking serve with new potatoes or jackets work well. i like the cabbage to have some crunch but you can cook it longer.try it its lovely and dont take long.

lol . hi there posset , somehow i dont think that can be done but will mull it over. happy shopping , i love tk max especially the homeware section will be in there soon looking for a hard andonised wok ha ha

thank you. i buy medium egg noodles from my local chinese supermarket,but they are dried,do i put these into hot oil without boiling them first. sorry am a bit confused or should i buy fresh soft noodles. once again thank you

my daughter absolutly loves crispy noodles. can anybody advise me on the best method of making them she loves them well done and brown.

yes it does a lot.thank you,you just confirmed what i was already thinking that they are more trouble and hard work. think im just going to invest in a non stick one. once again thanks.

ppplllleeaassssseeee does anybody know hows best to season a wok properly. i have been to my local chinese supermarket and purchased one twice now and tried unsuccessfully. i did however see on tv (forget the prog) someone using quite a lot of salt,but cant remember. its nothing like what i was advised to do,mabe im not heating it enough.

thanks for the tip on storing garlic its really helpful as i was throwing a lot away.
