Hi Tim -

Are you thinking of "Budgie", which also starred Adam Faith as Ronald 'Budgie' Bird?

Iain Cuthbertson played Charles (Charlie) Endell. a Glaswegian sex shop owner/crime boss.

It was a great programme. Iain Cuthbertson was one of the best.

Why bother with the change of channel name, etc. after all the hype we are still getting the same old rubbish.

I repeat...*What a Let Down*.

Britain's Best Dish is aired on ITV not UKTVFood, so you will find all the information re the programme, recipes, etc. on the ITV website.

Or you could use the link below.

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.

[link]

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.

[link]

[link]

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.

It can vary from ingredient to ingredient. e.g. a cup of granulated sugar is 8oz, but a cup of flour is just over 4oz.

The link below should be useful, but if you use American recipes on a regular basis it would be worth your while buying a set of Cups.

If you don't want to make it yourself you could *cheat* and use a good quality shop bought mayonnaise. add a couple of crushed cloves of garlic, a little lemon juice and any other flavourings you fancy....Dijon mustard, tabasco sauce, but I like it with just the garlic and lemon juice.

Hi js3 -

I like to use a couple of red onions as they are a bit sweeter. Just slice them with a couple of cloves of garlic and fry in a little butter until they are soft and transluscent. Add some red wine and simmer until about half has evaporated. If you like you could crumble in a good quality stock cube and a little water. Keep cooking until you get it to the consistency you like. Oh, check your seasoning and add some chopped herbs of your choice if you want. I like rosemary.

Hi Mary -

Check this link to Delia's site. It's scaling up a recipe for a rich fruit cake. Not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe worth a look.

Sorry I cannot help you with Ainsley's recipe. However, there is an AWT recipe for a quick chicken liver pate on the BBCFood website. You might want to check it out.

Hi beckyboo1 -

My mum was a great baker and regularly made a coconut cake. I don't remember amounts but it was a shortcrust pastry base in probably an 8 inch tin. Eggs, caster sugar and dessicated coconut mixed together, poured into the tin. Baked until golden. It was not eggy, but it certainly was nice and moist. It was a favourite of mine. I'm not sure if she spread some jam on the pastry base before pouring in the mixture!!

Check Delia's recipe for a Fresh Coconut Layer Cake.


Happy baking!

Hi Emily June -

'dl' is a decilitre (this measurement is used in many European countries). There are 10 decilitres in 1 litre.

1 dl equals 100mls. which is just slightly less than half an American cup.

Hope this helps.

I'm right, Rob Burns is the Army Chef. Check this link to the Saturday Kitchen page on the BBCFood site.

I'm back...keeping my fingers crossed...

The link worked for me yesterday, otherwise I would not have posted, but it is definitely not working for me today.

I have found the Rob Burns recipe for his Bailey's and Chocolate Cheesecake, on this link.

[link]

I've also noticed there is a Rob Burns recipe for Corned Beef Potato Cakes with red onion chutney, which he made on the same programme.

[link]

Do you think he is the army chef??

I typed cheesecake in the search box and you will find the results on the link below.

There is a recipe for a Bailey's and Chocolate Cheesecake by Rob Burns, so I can only assume this is the one you mean.

helvellen -

I've just used the link and it works.

The programme is called "Everyday Italian" (you will see this in red at the top left hand side of the page), and the chef is "Giada De Laurentis". You will see her name under each recipe.

The link takes you to the first page of 657 recipes from the series, but you can make the search easier by using the "Narrow Your Results By" facility which is down the left hand side of the page.

I hope this helps.

Hi sjl20 -

On the link below there is a Delia recipe for an old fashioned Cherry Cake. Perhaps you could use this recipe, but use less cherries and substitute some walnuts.

To help stop the cherries from sinking put them into some flour, then into a sieve and shake to get rid of the excess flour.

[link]

Hi Flying Vicar -

I watched part of the programme this morning where Jill Dupleix made White Chocolate Chilli Brownies.

I found the recipe on the BBCFood website under "Saturday Kitchen", in fact it's on the first page.

As there are over 1,600 Saturday Kitchen recipes the old and new series must have been combined, so it means you will have to trawl through them to get what you want. If you can remember the name of the chef or the dish scroll to the bottom of the page where you can enter the name in the search box, which will make it easier to find a recipe,

[link]

Check this link to the BBCFood website. Some of her recipes are listed.

[link]

It also mentions the book which goes with the series. I know it is available on Amazon.

Her recipes are on the US Food Network. Use the link.

I'm afraid you will need to search through them till you get what you are looking for.

Hi nan16, welcome -

I can only give you approximate amounts as I add and taste until I get what I like. I only make a small amount at a time as I don't like them the next day. I feel they go soggy.

2 onions, chopped, fairly chunky
3 tablespoons tomato ketchup / 2 teaspoons tomato puree / 1 1/2 teaspoons chilli powder / pinch of salt. Stir everything until well blended. Add onion and mix well. Leave for at least half an hour before digging in.

Hi divot -

My guess would be All Purpose Flour, the US equivalent of our Plain Flour.

There's a Mike Robinson recipe on the BBCFood site for Cheesy baked Aubergine rolls. I don't know if it's exactly the same as the one from Heaven's Kitchen Cookbook, but might be worth a look.

Hi STU2008 -

Semi sweet has more sugar added than the bitter sweet variety. It's okay to use one or the other.

The UK equivalent would be a good quality dark/plain chocolate with at least 60% to 70% cocoa solids. Just check the wrapper. Names which come to mind are Green & Blacks....Lindt Excellence....Sainsbury's own "taste the difference" dark chocolate has 72% cocoa solids.

If you don't like your chocolate too bitter you could always substitute some of the dark with a good quality milk chocolate.

Hi Vicki36 -

Some useful information on this link, including a binding agent for burgers.

Have you tried dipping the goujons in milk then coating with breadcrumbs?

When I make fish cakes I just dust them with a little flour then fry in a tiny bit of oil. They usually come out quite crispy.

Hi colgirl -

I never use double cream in cooking a savoury dish. I add either half fat creme fraiche or low fat Greek yoghurt and they work very well.

I always remove the pan from the heat before adding.

Hi ValerieJean -

Why not contact the manufacturer and ask for an instruction/recipe book.

There is a thread on site about Nu Wave Oven....might be worth a look.

Hi Twizzle 3 -

It's Plain Flour.

Ohhhh, I loved "Watching", but I don't remember ever seeing Faith in the Future.

Emma Wray and Malcolm Stoneway were brilliant as Emma and Paul, as was Patsy Byrne as Paul's mum. Was she in Blackadder??

Did you know there were 56 episodes of the programme!

Hi chez18 -

Off the top of my head I would say maple syrup or corn syrup.

However, not knowing what is available in your neck of the woods, I think it would be better if you had a browse through the information on the link below.

Good luck, hope you find something.

Hi Rosti -

They've been flying all over the place up here.

Managed to "catch" one at my local butchers yesterday, so dinner tonight will be home made steakpie, mashed tatties and turnip with a great big dollop of haggis on the side, MMMMmmmmmmmm, nothing can beat it.

Hi lauralovesfood -

More information would be helpful.

Hi dragon12 -

What chef, what programme....this information would be helpful.

Me again Emmajayne -

Personally I would not keep cooked rice in the fridge for any longer than 2 days, well covered so it does not dry out.

I have never frozen cooked rice, but the Tilda Rice website says.....Rice can be cooked ahead and kept frozen for up to one month. Cool quickly and divide into smaller portion sizes for easier handling. Store or wrap in freezer quality materials. I'm sure you can buy cooked rice in the freezer section of supermarkets.

I always cook pasta as I need it, so like the rice, I would say no more than 2 days, but it may stick together. I know you can freeze pasta if it's in a lasagne or a pasta sauce, but I don't think you can freeze it on its own. If you decide to keep your pasta in the fridge once it's cooked rinse it in running cold water so that it cools as quickly as possible. Once you drain it well drizzle over a little vegetable oil which should prevent it sticking.

How about cooking a couple of portions of rice and pasta, put one in the fridge and one in the freezer (rice only), and see what you think. You could do this at the weekend when you have more time.

Hi Emmajayne -

Have a look on Delia's site. Lots of yummy salads and you don't have to stick rigidly to her recipe. These should give you ideas

[link]

I love cold roasted vegetables (onions, peppers, courgettes, aubergine) made into a salad with either rice, couscous or pasta. All you need for a dressing is a little olive oil, lemon juice and some fresh herbs. In fact I think they are great in a sandwich.

If you like them, tinned sardines. You could add tinned chickpeas. borlotti, cannellini or kidney beans. Cold cooked green beans, broccoli, carrot. The permutations are endless. Just think of all the healthy things you like to eat and add them to your salad.

Just don't add too much mayonnaise. If you must have mayonnaise mix it with some low fat Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche and a little lemon juice.

Just an idea, you could use a small lidded jar to shake up your dressing and take this with you to work. That way your salad won't be too soggy. You can make this up the night before.

If you are having a green salad keep your tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, grated carrots, sliced peppers, etc. separate from the lettuce.

Here's a link to some of Ina's salads.

[link]

Hope this gives you some inspiration!

Useful information on these links.

Hello Hermione1 -

I take it you mean Sophie Grigson's recipe, which I have just read.

Ignore the muscovado sugar and just go with the ingredients on the list.

Lots of the recipes on this site have errors, but they never seem to rectify them.

Talking about errors, did you notice at the top of the recipe under Preparation time, it says 10 minutes, plus 24 hours to 2 months soaking. In the method it says to soak the raisins in the rum for at least 24 hours.

It sounds so good....what are you having with it?

Hurrah.....it worked.

Thank you so much Rosti. TerryDox is a genius.

Hi Rosti.....

Thanks for the tip, but could you explain it to me as if I was "3". What browser bar??

I'll probably kick myself when you tell me.

Cheers.

Hello i-love-cakes -

Hi pomegranate -

I take it you were watching Heaven's Kitchen Cookbook.

The on-site recipe to which you refer is from Great Food Bites, so obviously two different recipes.

There are no recipes on this site from Heaven's Kitchen Cookbook.

Hi poseur2 -

Found this on the internet -

Mesquite Powder......The bean pods of the mesquite are dried and ground into flour. This adds a sweet, nutty taste to whatever it is added to or used in.

Agave Mectar.....A natural liquid sweetener extracted (without chemicals) from the agave plant. Comprised largely of fructose, agave nectar does not spike your blood sugar levels and is absorbed gradually by your system.

I would try a health food store.

Hi Andaleeb -

I understand this food processor is made by Breville.

Hi jill -

Open freeze some of them, then put into container or polythene bag and pop back in the freezer.

I do this and just take out the chilli and grate off whatever I need. You can only use them in cooked dishes though, not in salads

I do the same with fresh ginger root.

They keep for ages!!

Hi Helen132 -

I haven't made it, but I just had a look.

It says to use cooked chicken. I don't like using cooked chicken in a curry as I don't think it takes up the flavour as well as raw chicken.

I certainly would not try this recipe.

Check the recipe on the link below, this is the one I use. All her recipes are good.

[link]

When posters click on their name I know this takes us to the very first post we ever made on site.

Is it possible for the system to be changed so that the newest post comes up first and we can then work our way back. We are more likely to be looking for a recent post rather than one made a few years ago.

Your comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Me again Keren90 -

I've just checked their website. I think (keeping my fingers and everything else crossed) that the recipe you are looking for is on the link below. It's called Medfouna.

[link]

Hi kitty65 -

Hi kitty65 -

The recipe you mention is from the tv cookery programme "The Best" and the recipes are very thin on the ground. In fact I have only been able to find 2 of Silvana's on line, one for Mince Pies and the other for a Christmas Cake.

I'm afraid you'll have to buy the book, visit your local library or bookshop and copy the recipe. The book is also called "The Best".

Hi kate133 -

Personally I would go for the dark brown as it has a stronger molasses flavour, which I think is good in a stew.

However, don't you think that 120gr is rather a lot??? Maybe another error methinks!!

Hi kate133 -

There's a Belgo recipe for Flemish Beef Stew on the link below which uses 3lb of beef for 6 people.

You might want to check it out.

Hi Barbara212 -

(a) Half and Half is half whole milk and half single cream.

(b) Yes.

(c) They are not exactly the same, but can be substituted one for the other.

Well done, Spreeny. Good to have this link.

I didn't know they had a website!!

Hi Spreeny -

Not knowing all your ingredients, I can only suggest...

Stir in some natural yoghurt.

Add some tinned tomatoes, or maybe tomato paste.

A little sugar to sweeten.

Hope it works out okay!!

Hi Spreeny -

You won't find the recipe on this site. The programme was shown on BBC2 not the UKTVFood channel.

I have checked the BBCFood site and only 2 recipes from the programme are listed, The Ultimate Fish Pie and Chicken Breast stuffed with Cumberland Sausage.

[link]

I tuned in to watch the very first episode of Market Kitchen and after a very short time I decided this was not for me so I switched off. I can honestly say I have never watched the programme again, not even for a couple of minutes. Hence the reason I have never posted about it till now. However, I have enjoyed reading all the comments from other posters.

I feel as long as people keep watching and posting about the programme, negatively or otherwise, the powers that be will take very little or no notice.

How about if everyone just stopped posting about Market Kitchen and see if this has a positive effect!!!

I too would love to see new programmes on the channel. All these constant repeats are monotonous.

As much as I like Delia, Rick, Keith, HFW and Jamie even I have to switch off when their older programmes are aired.

Hi em103 -

Hi Aussiebarb -

I didn't think you could make it with dried cranberries, but lo and behold there is a recipe on site.

[link]

Frozen cranberries, if you can get them, would be good in a recipe using fresh cranberries.

Hi ig and ta -

The recipe is in his book "Rick Stein's Food Heroes" page 98 - Crisp Chinese Roast Pork with Steamed Rice.

Check the link below, the method and timings for the pork are identical to Rick's. I would substitute the mustard seeds with sea salt.

[link]

Hi Vyvian -

A little more information would be helpful, i.e. whole chicken, chicken pieces, other ingredients.

However, Gary's recipes are very hard to come by, unless you buy his books.

Patience, David.....

The recipe is on the link below. Scroll down the page, it is near the bottom.

[link]

Sounds an awful lot of work to make some ketchup. Good Luck!!

Hi Katie...

Lucky you. Is it an electric steamer? Did they go a bit mushy? If so, I can only suggest that you over-cooked them.

I use a basket steamer like the one on the link and never have any problems. I like my veggies with a bit of a bite so I don't cook them for too long and they always retain their colour.

Very interesting, I thought this was a wind-up, but it's just Welsh rarebit.

Check the link.

Check this link. You need to read the whole thing as the information is given in dribs and drabs.

Check this link. It says the machine will "mix cake and pancake doughs".

btw.....the price is over £100 on Amazon.

Hi mum23 -

Definitely okay to substitute.

According to the information on this link a 9gr packet of powdered gelatine equals 6 leaves of leaf gelatine.

Happy Baking!!

Hi Davey Boy -

So glad the stew turned out to your liking, and happy that I was able to help. It was very kind of you to take the trouble to thank me, much appreciated.

Thanks for the offer of a taste.....maybe next time!!

No, I have not made it, but I did see her do it on tv and it look Yummy.

Have a Very, Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Happy Cooking!!

Hi Max33 -

Re Snowy River....

When it starts again on 2 January, according to the tv listings on this site, the title of the episode is "A Sea of Trouble", which is the first episode of season 3.

It ended on 18 Dec. with the final episode of season 2 "House of Worship".

They have been showing this series in order, thank goodness. Long may it continue!!

Hi ezz.....

You sure are going to be busy. Extra Virgin olive oil is normally more expensive than just oilive oil, which is a good reason for using the cheaper stuff.

However, before you start why don't you read the useful information on this link.

[link]

Once you decide, maybe you could change the ev olive oil for a different type of oil.

Good luck!!

Hi Doug -

I would ignore the Madeira and use only the Red Wine.

I think I would be inclined to use more than 2 teaspoons of red currant jelly, but you could begin with 2 and taste and add until you get the flavour you like.

Happy Cooking!!

If you look the link was posted by me 2 years ago, but obviously the webpage has been deleted.

However, there is a Mary Cadogan recipe on the link below, which is similar.

Hi Paula46 -

I don't think you will find Gary's recipe, he keeps most of his recipes very close to his chest.

However, there is a Mary Cadogan recipe on the link below, which is similar.

[link]

Hi Sarah -

It should be 400gr.

You will find the recipe on this link. I would use this one as I don't trust the recipes on this site, there are so many errors and they very rarely, if ever, correct them.

Happy baking!!

Hi nanna5 -

Nigella did not make the "gold dust". Apparently she buys it from the company on this link.

[link]

I don't know how you made yours, but there's a recipe on this link.

[link]

You should be able to buy it in a cake decorating/craft type of shop.

Calm down girls.......

It's back again on Wednesday 2 January 2008.

It says on the tv listing .....(3) 1......I assume this is season 3, episode 1.

The last programme shown on 18 December was "House of Worship" which was the final episode of season 2.

Hi fenola -


How about the recipe on this link.....

[link]

Happy baking!!

Hi Arthur -

I love Cloutie Dumpling, on it's own, with custard, or fried like the Christmas Pudding. I'm in west central Scotland, near Glasgow. I think I read somewhere that you are further up north. Maybe it is a "Scottish" trait.

Victoria, all I can say is your stepdad could not have been very good at making a Cloutie Dumpling. Properly made it is delicious. You don't know what you are missing!!

Hi tombi -

Second series of which programme? Which Chef?

Victoria....

Don't knock it until you have tried it!!

Hi bigcook2 -

Check the thread on the link below. Lots of information which I am sure you will find useful.

[link]

Fried in butter with some bacon and eggs......delicious.......you should try it some time. Might be a good hangover cure!!

Hope you are feeling much better today.

Hi Ricky1 -

There are a few on the BBCFood site. Check the link.

Me again Franny -

Sorry, my mistake, she used Puff pastry.

Hi Franny 6 -

She used short-crust pastry and said to bake the Palmiers in a very hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes,

Hi Robbo60 -

Here's an on site link to James Martin's Yorkshire Pot recipe.

[link]

Scroll down and click on Derek Fox family butchers, and this will take you to their address and 'phone number.

Hi Laine5 -

You won't find her recipes on this site, but you will find them on this link.

[link]

The Cookie recipe you are looking for is second on the list.

Hi gemmaljones -

I found the recipe on another website and it says....

"the zest and juice of 1 large orange".

Good Luck!!

Hi Roxy Tinkerbell -

Check this link to The Great British Kitchen. Great selection of biscuit recipes, including Shrewsbury (on page 3). They are listed alphabetically.

Happy baking with your nieces!!

What's the recipe?

Hi jocasta -

I checked the Christmas Pudding recipe on Delia's site and the following information comes at the end of the recipe.

"If you want to make individual Christmas puddings for gifts, this quantity makes eight 6 oz (175 g) small metal pudding basins. Steam them for 3 hours, then re-steam for 1 hour. They look pretty wrapped in silicone paper and muslin and tied with attractive bows and tags."

Hope this helps.

Hi Linda -

Is the recipe on this website, and if so, who is the chef. What excactly did you type in the recipe search box?


There is a Rachel Allen recipe on site for a Lamb Tagine with Lemon and Pomegranate Couscous. Check the link.

[link]

Hi SmithyL -

American "half-and-half" is a commercially prepared dairy product that is half whole milk and half single cream.

Happy cooking!!

Hi HCB -

Most Mincemeat, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding recipes do not contain lots of nuts. If the recipe calls for say 100gr of nuts just leave them out and substitute the weight with dried fruits,

Hi Mikey Pikey -

Check this on-site link.

Hi TJ40 -

You will find the recipe on this link.

I think the elderly lady was Myrtle Allen, Rachel's husband's grandmother.

Hi mrsfletch1 -

Not sure if this is the recipe you are looking for, but check the link.

[link]

Hope you are feeling much better.

Soirry I can't help with the James Martin request.

Hi witchjo -

As this is a Spanish style recipe I would imagine the sausage used would be Chorizo. As the recipe is for 1 person you only need a little of the sausage as it can be very spicy.

Then again, maybe sausage is not part of the recipe.....there are so many errors in the recipes on this site.

Hi fee1 & Imbesmlj -

There's a recipe for Rachel's Vanilla Melting Moments on the link below. I'm sure she substituted a couple of tablespoons of the flour with cocoa.

[link]

I think she sandwiched the biscuits together with Nutella.

Or there is a recipe on the BBC GoodFood site for Chocolate and Vanilla Melting Moments (not Rachel's, but they look yummy).

[link]

Hope this is helpful.

Hi Francine -

Just miss it out, as you do with your Christmas Pudding, and make up the equivalent weight of the peel with more of the other ingredients, i.e. apples, nuts, dried fruits. As you say, there will lots of flavour from the grated zest and juice of lemons/oranges.

I'm sure no one will notice.

There's a Lotte Duncan recipe on site which does not include candied peel. You might care to take a look.

[link]

If there are roots still attached put the stalk in water and they should last for a week or two. Cut the sprouts off as you need them.

Hi reet 4 -

Are you doing Gioconda Scott's recipe? If so, discard the liquid, you don't need it.

Just put the lemons and the salt mixture in the jar.

Hi Smiler18

180C is equivalent to 350F or gas mark 4.

You might find the guide on the link below useful.

Hi Audrey99 -

I would go for the size on the link below......6fl.oz / 175ml.

Hi Does the cooking -

Check Delia's method. If you want to make it in a food processor scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Hi Moaning Minnie....

There's a James Martin recipe for Slow braised lamb shanks with olive oil mash (from Saturday Kitchen) on the BBCFood site.

Hi Hoobah -

Don't hold your breath waiting for UKTVFood to answer.

Personally, I would peel the apples and pears.

Happy cooking!!!
