i am a very big coffee fan, and after seeing the episode of good food the other day, discussing coffee i decided id get my coffe maker out of the cupboard, and have a better coffee than the instant...
but im short of funds at the moment, and wondered is there any cheaper substitutes for paper coffee filters? and what types of coffee would u suggest?

What is the website? this may seem a stupid question, and we don't buy the bero flour anymore, so don't get the forms...

My mum owned an 'old' bero cook book, which used to come free with the bero flour, and she has lost it. It was one of her favourite cookery books, does anybody know where I could find one for her, it would really make her day.

lol.. thanx everyone! i didnt notice what my subject title sed either.. lol...
thanx again!

thanx!

i got the last part of good food bites today, to just see mary berry finish a three layered cake... when it panned out, i saw another cake on the counter, a ring shape, with strawberries.. does anybody know what the recipe was for it?!

I am trying to be healthier this new year, but am struggling to find tasty food thats low in fat, filling, and has a good level of dietary fibre. I'm at a loss! Help! I need suggestions! Please!

i lurve cous cous! what i do with mine is chop up some mushrooms, some bacon, and some onions, and fry them off until everything is cooked through. I then cook the cous cous the normal way, but add butter to the water, so that its absorbed, when the cous cous is nearly ready, i add the mushrooms, bacon and onion.... its delicious - esp wen its a cold day!
or, another is, cook the cous cous, add some tuna.. and squeeze a lil lemon over it... very fresh... better in summer!
