Has anyone got a recipe for a chocolate pudding that can be eaten by the philistines who dont like xmas pudding please, preferbly one that can be frozen to save a panic.

What on earth was that woman(i forget her name) doing with a huge bottle of pectin on fridays programme?
My wife has been making jams and jellies fo 45yrs and never once has she had to use bottled pectin. For jellies use crab apples or apple cores as they are strained, for jams its usualy apple or lemon juice and has a 99% success rate. The woman didnt really seem to know what she was talking about.

I print off recipes and put them into plastic covers and then into loose leaf holders, that way i dont lose any.Will be starting on 2nd folder soon.

Sorry Rosti never watch UKTV GOLD so i wouldnt know, and i`m still fed up with the same repeats.

I see Nigella is back for yet ANOTHER rerun of old programmes,even if it is under a different programme title.
UKTV Food must be the cheapest prog. to make as its all repeats or have certain chefs got shares in it.? I only look once a week now in the vain hope that something new MIGHT come on.

Can you tell me how far into Devon and Cornwall you looked for allotments for your competition?
Or was it yet another case of Devon and Cornwall , wheres that.?
Thank You.

Afternoon Grannybrad


I agree with Grannybrad, even the government thinks England ends at Bristil,so no hope for us in devon and cornwall then.

I liked GFL but wasn`t overkeen on JB as i think she went way over the top and was the chef(s) not the presenter.
But i would rather watch GFL anyday than market kitchen ITS SO DULL BORING AND REALLY HAS NOTHING TO RECOMEND IT>

Isnt that the majority of gardeners?

Best gardening programme for ages.

Thanks to you all.

How about a PLONKER or WALLY sticker we can add to our replies to the various Council spokespeople.

Hi dunpayin
You dont say where you live,but in Plymouth market thereis a butcher who sells whole ox hearts,maybe he could get ox tongue as well.
Even some butchers dont seem to know good food when they see it.

Have i missed the boat?
Is Paul Hollywood doing a masterclass on baking and i have missed it? I dont watch U.K.TV food much now as I am fed up with all the repeats ( Mr. R.S.} and dont like market kitchen watching grass grow is more interesting.

I will be the first to admit that I couldnt stand J B
BUT please come back I would rather watch you than Market Kitchen.

You say on your intro the programe will be at food marketS!!!
I bet it doesnt leave london.

When we were in France we bought some flour the bag was labeled Farine(flour) De Ble, Patissiere, Type 45.
It makes lovely cakes etc. Can anyone give me any information about it please?
Thanks very much.

Thanks Rosti
I thought I was the only person to be glad to see JB go she is the 2nd most annoying food presenter on TV, Either shouting about sustainable stocks or food miles then pushing in to get at the food the chefs have cooked.
Anyway a lot of the food that is used seems to have been flown half way around the world.

I have both books (kitchen & garden) and still watch them when they are on t,v great books and programs. We could do with more like them.

re my message about pasties.
The recipe is in "who ate all the pies and it is by Caroline Yates.

I am 68 years old and my family have lived in this country for hundreds of years,it is not a footprint it is a nail in the coffin.

Are we having P.C. in cooking now.

At last a real pasty not some celeb chefs version.

Hi Sylvestra
HEAR HEAR.
It seems somebody with the name of a member of the royal family is also doing cooking.

Just read an article on gorse bushes on the website. The flowers make fantastic wine,but you must leave for 2 years to mature.Has anybody else tried it?
