I cannot begin to tell you how annoyed this programme makes me. Its a load of rubbish. The adverts are more entertaining

hya gj Ive had a wee look about and have come across a few recipes using palm oil looks like its used more as a garnish. you know at then end of the cooking. Ive never used it myself but think you should Phish if you have the time you will find more than a few ways to use

hya im not a dab hand with a wok and wondered if anyone had an easy enuf recipe for crispy chilly beef done with an every day large frying pan fankoo in advance.

al is certainley better dressed since you "battered" into her on the original post.Deborah. I aint a fan and steven is so typical Im outraged that no one seems to be bothered about their dress code on mk they are meant to be professionals but they aint coming across tho. Its meant to be laid back I know but zzzzzzz wake me up if anything changes .for the better

try Morrisons was there today they had white bowls very similar

try Morrisons was there today they had white bowls very similar

if any consolation I've bitten the head of asda arguing for this product tee hee if only they knew I do the rounds SUPERMARKETS ( i mean )

FIGHT! ? (harry hill moment)

why dont we just chat and share b@@@@r the telly I watch as do we all but I still love to experiment with food masterchef wouldnt miss because they are novice but triers bring it on coz i try what these fabulous guys do (loved Johnny from Co Antrim) xxxxxxxx

hello giro erm sorry made a bloomer mate its Sainsbury's and its DOROT they make parsley corriander garlic basil ginger sorry for the mix up! am i 4given?

Hello go to ITV.com Britains Best Dish search "mains" you will find a recipe using brisket and the salts and prep for authentic corned beef. Good luck

well I'm with sesley.mmm a wee bit. Lady mc did her best but not good enough.She annoyed most of us. Most scots especially! too gushy. We as a nation would promote our fair.,
like most "k"eltics. and there are many. all aroung this globe in fact. Food of all ethnics regardless of domane ( i think thats right) just want to share, oh wee soap box moment there. runs to make the tea xx

Mr Anderson you cant have a "delicate" chrismas pud. Its supposed to be rich and full. However have a look at the message board again one of our "pals" has a quick fruit one cup recipe adapt as you wish eg. add boooooooze. Or look at Aunty Delia

wee silvana is good to watch she seems normal

tracey's pantry try that under recipe search jam

pb thanx for the agree. you know we have a lovely chef in Michael Caine does he go about feeling sorry for himself No!
Im actually very upset with the programmes at the mo its trying too hard to be FUNNY not entertaining,just help us foodies. I love finding new ways of using ingredients normally would'nt try. come on you tv lot listen to us. oh and I cannot stand awt when he "talks down" to people. wee pain. love cdwm, thats a hoot

ok calm down. first of all del your right not everyone can make a good curry in fact I have tasted some watery homemade curries. However pb does make a very good argument. I never want to see Heather Mills on ANY cooking show. I find her an abnoxcious person (polite word for what I want to call her) She is a very clever astute business woman and Im sorry for her loss (you know what I mean) but for goodness sake Heather disappear. You had your chance,blew it and you aint no Diana as you once thought you were.Never could be.

thanx posset... guess what I found? oh yeah a fishmonger actually knocked on my door! the day you replied, you know the "we deliver fresh fish weekly "stuff.? well did I not haf pick his brains! (bet he wished he'd missed out my house) but success we went over a recipe there and then and waaalaa me got fish pie and made (he loves cheese ma other haf) a parsley and cheese sauce. yummy! thankx for your help once again G

although late to this discussion I totally agree with cdm. Go on murdrobe forge ahead never mind that muppet on the spelling who needs that if you have cooking talent. look at Ramsey. And his obnoxcious "talent" of getting the point across. Go on my friend knock on every door tell them how great you are sell yourself! Here's the point....Is this your dream? chase it then!

well I finally blew it up today! my dear friend been with me for ever. Going back to work comes to mind.:( although think my other haf would miss all the "whats on the menu tonight?" scenario. back to the wooden spoon then.Any suggestions as to a replacement. NO! not other haf...........my mini chef!!

makes 12. 225g self raising flour. pinch salt. 1 teaspoon of baking powder. 55g butter. 2 tablespoons caster sugar. 85g fruit. 1 egg (beated to light) little milk (hold some in reserve.preheat ( a must) oven 220/gas7sieve the flour bp and salt into a large bowl. lightly rub in butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. stir sugar and fruit in then the egg and some milk. make a soft dough, turn onto floured surface and kneed very gently til thickness of 2cm. baking sheet lightly and I mean meanly floured brush with beaten egg or milk. 8-10minutes until golden and risen. remove and cool. works for me. remember you want a soft dough so watch the milk. good luck.

giro check again the herbs are in little red boxes and the name is norot.The chopped garlic is a packet (Fullers foods) F Rock chopped garlic. The mixed peppers, onions and mushrooms are all Asda's own make. I have home deliveries and have not had much bother getting them. Good luck. When I next order I will send you the product codes that will help.

dont forget good old fashioned spag bols..mince n potatos and/or soups all can be fashioned to aid a baby. corned beef/veg/or beans with mash always worked for my brood. I agree look for bargains at supermarkets know your busy n tired but try a day of batch cooking fresh veg blanch and freeze will help you out a lot.Eggy bread too can be adapted with loads of flavours other than cheese.

hello again. Well as mad foodies I suppose the art of chopping and dicing is part of the thrill of preparing a fabby dish.I know I advocated the frozen herbs but I also want to let you know I use frozen mixed peppers, mushrooms,onions and chopped garlic. Trust me they are a find. Last night I made a fabby sauce for spaghetti with those ingredients and added in chopped (jar) bevelini chillies ( 2) and tinned tomatos. Now dont assume Im lazy but tea last night was a hurry up one. I do the fresh stuff too and bake every other day. Enjoy. Ive loads of recipes using these ingredients e.g chilli con carne etc.,

yes chef very sad he was a charismatic individual very watchable may he rest in peace.

hello giro yeap as in yes silly. sorry my daft lingo. yes as to dried v fresh read again but deffo go 4 frozen

oh thankyou all for the postings I thought I was the only one that cant stand this programme. The concept is right but the presenters irritate me so much I cant watch!

hello giro yeap a teaspoon of dried herbs is like a haf of fresh i think but as with every recipe you taste as you go. TIP:
Asda do Frozen herbs they are fabby! I have parsley basil and corriander. little cubes just pop them out a few minutes before serving add to food and stir till disolved they are great. Parsley brilliant for making garlic butter for baguettes or whatever.

gastro you know yer stuff, i'm getting there so busy n tired tho seem to be cooking too much to get the cleaning done. hoping that guzzler calms down this weekend and I can attempt it coz its annoying me. thanx for the advice tho. oh the plum tart was yeuch tho "G" ate it. the pasta bake well he lick'd the dish so Im almost there xx

hello super been there done that. make cottage pie with the veggies and tatties use chicken and lamb too. receipies almost identical from base. dont know taste but you can deffinately jazz up potato and onions with corned beef beans etc.. let me know if your dad likes spicey. my mum lived on soups and mini casseroles. Asda doing freezer foods for £1.00 at mo have a look
