According to a conversion table which I use, 1 cup of sliced, chopped or diced zucchini equals 6oz, so I think 1 cup grated would also equal 6oz.

Hi lighterlifegirl -

I think Silverside is best cooked long and slow, but that is my personal preference.

Gary Rhodes Roast Sirloin of Beef recipe (BBC Good Food website), which gives you cooking times.

[link]


Use the link to Delia's website, which may be helpful.

[link]

Hope you and the kids enjoy.

Written recipe on site. Use the link below.

You will note at the end of the recipe (step 6) it says to stir in the chopped coriander (1 teaspoonful according to the list of ingredients), etc. etc.

Apple Muffin recipe is on the link below.

More information on her show Healthy Appetite, with recipes, etc.

re Buttermilk...This used to be a by-product of butter making, hence its name, but now we have specially cultured buttermilk which is made by adding a culture to skimmed milk. It has the same acidic flavour as the original and is perfect for making extra-light scones, soda bread and American style pancakes.

You should be able to get buttermilk from the dairy section of the larger supermarkets. If not, just use ordinary milk.

You could make your own....

175ml ordinary milk
10ml vinegar or lemon juice

Add the vinegar or lemon juice to the milk, let stand a few minutes to sour.

You won't find her recipes on this site probably due to copyright reasons.

However, her Energy Bar recipe is on the link below.

Sorry I cannot help with the Almond Crescent recipe.

Substitute for red peppers.......red onion cut in wedges.

Tomatoes - either cherry left whole or larger ones cut into wedges. Put into dish towards the end of cooking so they remain recognisable.

For green peppers......green beans. asparagus. sugar snap beas, mange tout.

I agree with you babsky.

The first episode certainly did not leave me gasping for more. I was ready to switch off after the first segment, but decided to stay with it. Big mistake, it only got worse and 1 hour was much too long.

What was the point of the Spanish linguist and the bald guy? Definitely a case of "Too many people spoiling the broth". Too much talking and not enough cooking.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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 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.

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 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.

Hope this gives you some inspiration!

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?

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.

Here's a link to the Breville website. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Contact". Select "Customer Service"....You can email them.

Good Luck!!

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.

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!!

(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.

Hi em103 -

Check the link....

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.

Best wishes to everyone for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

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.

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

Hi nanna5 -

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

I don't know how you made yours, but there's a recipe on this 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 Robbo60 -

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.

Hi SmithyL -

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

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.

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

Hi Martini-woman -

Check this on-site recipe. Scroll down....information on feeding with booze, applying the marzipan, and the time interval between each step,

I would not bother with the orange zest as you will be brushing on some apricot jam before covering with marzipan.


[link]

Cold roast pork on top of Japanese/Chinese noodle dishes, cooked from scratch or bought noodles in a sauce.

Include slivers of roast pork in a stir-fry.

Re-heat it in any sauce - tomato & onion, sweet-and-sour.

Shepherds Pie type of dish.

Hi Patricia -

The other biscotti recipes on site use plain flour, so I assume it would be okay in the recipe you mention.

I have searched the site but cannot find Rosemary's recipe.

rbm -

You won't find recipes from Nigella Express on this site as the programme is not being shown on UKTVFood, it's on BBCtv.

I have checked the BBCFood site but the recipe is not there. However, check this link.

Hi nannyh -

Check the recipe for Banoffee Pie Caramel filling on the link below. No boiling cans, just melt butter and sugar, then add the condensed milk and stir.

[link]

Merchant Gourmet make Dulce de Leche Banana Toffee flavour, so if you want to make Banoffee Pie this is ideal.

[link]

They also do other flavours.

If you still want to boil the can just make sure the water does not boil dry and everything will be okay. You can do a few at a time and keep them for future use, but you need to boil them for longer than 2 hours to get the real caramel flavour.

Hi May7 -

The recipe on this site is from an old programme "James Martin Sweet".

You will find the recipe for the Lemon Meringue Pie from "Sweet Baby James" on the BBCFood site. Use the link.

Hi Louise -

I posted a few recipes earlier today, but for some unknown reason, and without any explanation, my post has been deleted.

These were recipes which have been used in my family over many years and certainly did not breach any copyright.

Ah well, just your luck I suppose.

Glad everything was a success. I told you everyone would love the traybake.

It was so nice of you to report back.

Hi fablee -

I have found a recipe for Jane's New York Cheesecake with Blackberries (no mention of chocolate in the title or in the list of ingredients). Check the link below.

[link]

I would guess that the inclusion of "Chocolate" in the title of the recipe on this site is an error, which is really par for the course, as there are errors and omissions in lots of the recipes.

Happy baking!!

Hi Dragels -

Recipe on this link.

[link]

I remember someone on Nigella's website said that instead of boiling the clementines for 2 hours she put them into a bowl of water and nuked them in the microwave for 2 minutes at a time. She had to do this about 5 or 6 times (turning the clementines each time) until they were soft enough.

Hi Karen -

I would set the oven just before you fry the legs. By the time they are golden brown the oven should be up to the required temperature, then just follow the instructions as given.

Hi emccall -

Chard, Swiss Chard or Silverbeet.

I live in Scotland and I must admit I have never seen it in my local supermarkets. Maybe try an Asian store if you are lucky enough to have one in your area.

You could substitute bok-choy (pak-choy) or spinach, which are easy to find, although these will cook much quicker than chard.

Hi jenny104 -

You won't find all the recipes from a series on the website, usually only a small selection, and sometimes none at all.

However, you will find Nigella's recipe for Pea, Mint and Avocado Salad on the link below.

Let's hope they leave it in the 1 o'clock slot and not move it to some unearthly hour.

Hi Alex -

Hello janer1 -

I have a Murphy Richards 3.5 litre. In the booklet the times are given cooking on Medium for the 3.5 and the 6.5 litre (both take the same amount of time). The conversions given are as follows:-

Medium 4/6hours = Low 6/8hours = High 3/4hours
Medium 6/8hours = Low 8/10hours = High 5/6hours
Medium 8/10hours= Low 10/12 hours= High 7/8hours

It also states that the cooking times are for guidelines only and may vary depending on food type and personal taste.

Hope you find this helpful.

I caught this programme for the first time the other day and am thoroughly enjoying it.

I doubt very much if they will post the recipes on this site. However, you can find loads of Ellie Krieger's recipes on the Food Network site, link below.

[link]

I loved this programme too, Skyelark and agree it should be shown again. I brought this up about a year ago, but so far still waiting.

I very rarely watch UKGold or UKDrama because of the constant repeats and the introduction of so many American series. Their choice of programmes leaves a lot to be desired.

I really wish they would show "Glasgow Kiss" again.

Hi vic285.....

Clearspring make Rice Malt Syrup. Here's a link to their website.

[link]


Click on "Where to buy" in the top right hand corner and this will take you to a list of stockists.

re a substitute......found this info on the internet.

brown rice syrup = rice syrup = rice bran syrup = rice malt = yinnie syrup Notes: Health buffs like this because it contains complex sugars, which are absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream. It's about half as sweet as ordinary table sugar. Some rice syrups include barley malt, and may pose a problem for people with gluten allergies. Substitutes: maple syrup (substitute 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons liquid for each cup of brown rice syrup) OR molasses (substitute 1/2 cup for each cup of brown rice syrup) OR barley malt syrup (substitute 3/4 cup for each cup of brown rice syrup) OR honey (substitute 3/4 C honey plus 2 tablespoons liquid for every cup of brown rice syrup)

Hi alm.....

As it's a big Haggis you can cut it into portions and freeze them individually.

Personally, I just cut off a piece, wrap it in foil and heat in the oven. My favourite way to eat it is with a nice beef steak pie, mashed tatties and neeps (mashed swede).

Take a look on the link. Lots of info and recipes.

Enjoy. I love it.

Hi rachealt....

This is one I make on a regular basis....no measurements, just made to my personal taste.

Cook pasta (I use Fusilli as everything sticks in the spirals), drain and leave colander under running cold water. Dry off as best you can.

Mix lots of mayonnaise and some horseradish sauce to taste.

Into a large bowl put a finely chopped red onion, canned sweetcorn (drained), freshy ground black pepper, and mix in some of the mayonnaise, then add your cold pasta, mix well. Now add more mayoinnaise, add tinned tuna chunks and break them up slightly, but not mushy, mix well. Finally chop a few hard boiled eggs, not too finely, and add to the mix. You need quite a lot of mayonnaise as the pasta really soaks it up and it's not very nice if it's too dry.

This salad is really nice made with cooked prawns instead of the tuna.

Hi Audra.....

Parameswaran peppercorns come from the Wynad region of Kerala in India. I use them all the time. They may sound expensive, but in the long run they are much cheaper to buy than those little boxes/bottles you get in the supermarket.

You can get them from Lakeland (use the link). However, if you are unable to get them just use freshly ground black pepper.

I note they are £5.99 on the link c.o. gave you.....they are only £4.79 from Lakeland.

I saw that programme too, and she did add crunchy peanut butter to the recipe.

However, the recipe highlighted at the top of the page is not Rachel Allen's, but Rosa Baden Powell's.

I have checked the BBCFood site, there are a few of Rachel's recipes, but not the one for flapjacks.

Hello Lea...

Had a look in Rick's book *Food Heroes". Information about the pork pies you mentioned is as follows:-


According to an article in The Independent Newspaper (14 Oct 2006) Mrs. King's Melton Mowbray Pork Pies is a regular stall in Borough Market in London. If you're not from London, you can also buy them via mail order from Forman & Field.

Hope you manage to find some.

Hi cheese obsessive...

Pictures of lentil plants on these links.

On one of Antonio Carluccio's programmes he visited a friend who was drying lentils. They were spread out on plastic sheets and turned regularly to allow them to dry. They looked the same before and after drying. The moisture in the lentils would cause them to rot, hence the reason you can only buy dried lentils.

Hi peg1....

Go for ground Allspice. It is not a blend of spices, but it's taste and aroma is similar to a mix of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.

The potato and cauliflower mix suggested by jennifer is really good, and I always make Delia's no fat white sauce. I use cornflour and it works every time.

Here's a link to the recipe.

I read on the internet that Tonka Beans are known mostly for their fragrance, which is reminiscent of vanilla, almonds, cinnamon and cloves. It has been banned in the US for use in food products. It is used in perfumes and tobacco.

I think a vanilla pod or extract would be a good substitute.

Hi dee10.....

Why don't you just make your 9" square cake. Cut it in half then decorate in the usual way. They will look as if they have been made in loaf tins, but without the bother.

My cousin does this with an 8" square cake, cuts it into 4 and gives to grannies, etc. with their Christmas present.

Hi annieapple...

Years ago I made a dish with skinned chicken breasts, a tin of condensed chicken or mushroom soup, some mayonnaise and a little mustard. Covered the dish with foil for part of the cooking time and then removed it for say the last 10 minutes.

It's so long since I made it I can't remember anything else, except that I quite liked it at the time!!

Hi Melanie....

My cousin gives small Christmas Cakes every year as presents. She just makes her usual big cake (square) and cuts it up into equal portions. Then finishes them off as per her big cake, marzipan, royal icing and a nice litte decoration/ribbon.

If you use a 20cm / 8 inch square tin you could make 4 decent sized small cakes.

Much easier than fiddling around making smaller cakes.

Hi Little Miss Cool....

I've just had a look at the recipe and note only one and a half teaspoons of golden syrup is listed. Definitely not enough.

The recipe I use has 150gr of golden syrup to 225gr of flour.

I just don't trust most of the recipes on this site. Too many errors and I don't think they ever rectify them.

As seafood does not take very long to cook, you could make the paella with chicken and chorizzo, and all the other bits and pieces, then take enough out for your 2 guests before adding the seafood.

I would say plain as the bicarbonate of soda acts as a raising agent.

I wonder why she calls it bread pudding when there is no bread in the recipe. Usually a bread pudding is made with stale bread and not flour.

Hello batman....

This must be the quickest, easiest mac and cheese recipe ever.

8oz dry macaroni
4floz cream
7floz milk
4oz grated hard cheese of your choice
salt and pepper

Cook macaroni as per packet instructions. Drain and put back in saucepan, then add cream, milk and grated cheese and stir over a low heat until the cheese melts and the mixture is thick. Season to taste. I like to add a little bit of English mustard to give it a bit of a zing.

Hi Barshedale.....

I have replied to your post 3 times this morning, but each time it has been deleted.

I merely gave a couple of links, 1 to Amazon about a book by Carol Wilson called "Favourite Sweets and Toffees" and the other to The Great British Kitchen website confectionary section.

Let's see if this post stays or if it will be deleted.

I have replied to two posts this morning and both my replies have been deleted. One was on the "Food Chat" forum and the other on this Forum.

I merely gave a couple of links which I thought would be useful. Nothing sinister in that, is there, or have the rules been changed.

Hi Sums....

You will find this ingredient in lots of American recipes. It's their term for solid vegetable fat. Trex and Cooken are the most popular in the UK.

Had a look at the recipe. If you don't want to use vegetable shortening you could just substitute butter.

Hi Sums......

I gave you a link to a recipe for Marsala Sabayon, but as I said you can use other flavours, including Grappa. Just look above your last post the link is there. Scroll down the recipe is about half way down the page.

As for the pork chops, as I am not vegetarian, the only thing I can think of is tofu!!! Or you could just add more root vegetables.

Hi Sums....

Select Recipes from the list on the left hand side of the screen. Then select cuisine. There are lots of Caribbean and Spanish recipes to choose from. However, I have not checked if there any many suitable for vegetarians.

Hi Sums....

Hi Clemence....

I think the programme you mean is Ainsley's Barbecue Bible, and the episode was the one filmed in Sydney, Australia.

There were 6 episodes filmed in Australia, Jamaica, Thailand, South Africa, Greece and England. You can check them on the link below. The only episode which does not give details of what he cooks is the one in Australia, so I am assuming this is where he cooked the Lobster, Cod and Bananas.

[link]

However, I could be wrong and stand to be corrected!!!

Hi SiameseCat.....

Not sure exactly what type of fruit cake you mean, but if you go to Google and type in Hummingbird cake recipe you will find lots of choices. They all include crushed pineapple.

Hello again Porridge..

No, I don't have the book, but I do remember the tv programmes.

Use this link to Delia's website.

[link]

You can buy recipe packages and one of them is "Cooking for One", adapted from her best-selling book One is Fun. the recipes have been updated to reflect today's ingredients and tastes. You get 40 recipes, plus tips, etc. I have bought the package which costs £4.95 and is well worth the money. You get....

Omelette recipes. Jacket Potatoes.

14 recipes (snacks, light lunches and suppers) including Thick celery soup with smoked bacon, or you can omit the bacon and pile some croutons on top. Thick peasant soup with barley. Chinese stir-fried chicken with broccoli and mushrooms.

Main course - 19 recipes including... baked lamb chops with potato, garlic and rosemary (all cooked in the one roasting tin). Beef curry cooked in yoghurt. Spaghetti with Mexican sauce.

There are 7 dessert recipes.

As an extra you get 12 recipes for 2, including a dhal curry.

Your nephew would have to do the "buying" so that he can log on to access the recipes. You can transfer the recipes to an on site recipe book if you wish.

Let me know what you think.

How about Delia's "One is Fun", which is going quite cheap at Amazon.

Hi G.G.

Recipe on this link.

[link]

Just read the recipe which says - Divide the paste into 2 (half for the crumble and half for the sauce).

For the crumble you add breadcrumbs and zest of lemon to the paste.

For the sauce you place the other half of the paste into a saucepan, add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

It all depends on what you are measuring bubby. This link might be useful.

There's an Ed Bains recipe on site.

Hi minxx.....

You do the first part of the recipe the night before, after the kids go to bed. So I hope you have the time the next day to complete the job.

When it comes to the stage of adding the kernels the jam is already set. The kernels are probably added to give a bit of crunch.

Good luck, whatever you decide. back

Me again....

It's worth it for the taste. However, I would forget about adding the kernels to the jam. This will save you time. The actual cooking time is only just over half an hour.

Go on, get going and make the jam. You won't be sorry.

I'm too polite to say you're lazy!!

Hi minxx....

I don't really know, but I don't think I'd want to. You need to drink these as fresh as possible.

When I hit the "Go" button an error message appeared. Only accepted my topic title, but not the message.

I wonder why?

Perhaps because I listed all the good programmes which are currently being shown on itv3.

Just checked the listings for itv3 and was most pleasantly surprised. Definitely an improvement on the programmes shown on Gold and Drama.

Beiderbecke Affair
Cracker
Goodnight Sweetheart
Heartbeat
Life Begins
Lovejoy
Peak Practice
Pie in the Sky
Rising Damp
Robin of Sherwood
Rumpole of the Bailey
Tales of the Unexpected
Upstairs, Downstairs

Ironside
LA Law
Rockfort Files
Quantum Leap

I too would love to see this again, but as I say every time I post on these boards "I won't hold my breath waiting".

Definitely time they got the finger out and gave us some of the good older programmes.

Hi Susie Foodie...

Not exactly a dessert, but a very good recipe from Delia.

[link]

lisa fish.....go to Google, select Images, and type in Lemon scented herbs. Lots of pictures, you might recognise the herb you have.

Nothing to beat home made lemon curd. I make it regularly using Delia's recipe. You can make it quicker than it takes to go to the supermarket to buy some and tastes a hundred times better.

Just open freeze and put them into plastic bags. They will keep for ages.

I take one out, grate or chop off what I need then pop it back in the freezer.

I must admit I only use them for cooked dishes. If I want to sprinkle chilli over a salad or in a dip I usually buy fresh.

I make this a lot, each time with different ingredients, i.e. onions, leeks, carrots, cauliflower, and find it is always nice and moist. I don't go to the trouble of making the "bag" I lay the ingredients on a piece of tinfoil. bring the edges together and scrunch it up. If I'm making it for more than 2 people I just use a large ovenproof dish and cover with tinfoil

You will find the recipe on this link.

I should think it would be okay. In one of Nigella Lawson's programmes she was showing the contents of her freezer and she had bags of chicken pieces in a lemon and olive oil marinade. She said the meat would be all the more succulent and moist for having been frozen in the marinade.

If your daughter is able to have celery then I would use this as a substitute for the fennel.

Richard - you keep asking the viewers what programmes they would like to see on UKTVGold, but all suggestions have been shot down in flames.

Can you please tell us what programmes you are able to show and I don't mean the current ones, i.e. Only Fools and Horses, My Family, My Hero, Last of the Summer Wine, etc. etc. etc.

I've just stopped watching the Gold channels because of the dire programmes which are being screened.

I agree with Stormcat, when you start showing some decent programmes, please show them in series and episode order.

On checking the on-site TV listings for UKTV Drama for this evening Sunday 26 Feb. it says Judge John Deed is on at 9 p.m. but the synopsis given of the programme (see under) would indicate that it is an Inspector Lynley Mystery which is being shown.

"Handsome and posh DI Thomas Lynley takes on another tough case with his partner¸ the cute and plucky DS Barbara Havers. The detecting duo investigate a murder at a star-studded gathering at a country house in the Scottish Highlands¸ but Lynley's feelings for an old friend threaten to affect his judgement."

What's the score???? I always thought it was robots who operated the UKTV channels, particularly when they ask the punters what programmes they would like to see, but never come up with the goods!!!

Every time I use my machine I make sure I dry the rubber seal and the drum thoroughly and leave the door wide open for as long as possible. I never close the door, always leave it slightly ajar.

Barshedale, I agree with everything you have said. All the UKTV channels are so overloaded with very old repeats. The Drama Channel is showing programmes such as Dick Emery, Hi-de-Hi, Terry & June, etc. etc. I certainly would not class these as "Drama".

I have definitely given up on UKTV until they listen to their viewers, turn things around and give us some decent new programmes.

Hi grifforama -

There are so many errors in the recipes on this site that I just would not trust them. It could be that the weight of the bird has been wrongly stated. I agree 1 hour 10 mins. is definitely not a long enough cooking time for a 5.4kg goose. I would definitely cook it for the time stated on the packaging.

There is an Alan Coxon recipe on site for a 2.5kg goose which is cooked for 40 mins. at 200C then a further 1 hour 30 mins. at 180C.

Just noticed in the Andrew Nutter recipe (steps 9 and 10) they refer to a Duck, not a Goose.

Good luck, and have a stress free Christmas!!

Hi Andrea -

You could use ricotta, but before adding the other ingredients
whip the ricotta in a blender to make it smooth.

If you use a cream cheese, say 8oz, blend in 60ml/2 fl.oz. of double cream to make it softer before adding the honey and orange juice.

Hope it works, just watch you don't add too much orange juice.

Hi Mel x - Hope I'm not too late.

There is a recipe for a Chinese Steamed Cake on this link. All the recipes I have found are American, but this will give you an idea of how the cake is made.

[link]

How on earth can Hi-de-Hi, 'Allo 'Allo, Sorry, Last of the Summer Wine, Dick Emery Show, etc. etc. be classed as "Drama". IMHO, they are either sit-com or comedy.

It would seem to me just an excuse to rotate these programmes between UKTVGold and Drama. Surely there must be hundreds of programmes in the Drama category which could be showninstead.

Did Gino cook this recipe on Saturday Kitchen? If so, you will find it on the BBCFood site on this link.

Hi Amanda -

I think it's better to leave the cake for a couple of days to let the marzipan dry out a bit before icing. Cover the cake with a clean tea towel and leave in a cool place.

Hi b squibble -

Just checked some recipes and I would say with 225gr of flour you would need to use 50gr of butter.

Hope this helps.

The recipe is in his book "Rick Stein's Food Heroes" pages 76/77. I have the book but cannot post the recipe as it would be deleted because of copyright.

Why not go to your local library or bookshop and copy the recipe.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I did not see the programme, but the recipe list for today's Great Food Live is:-

Roast Partridge, Squash and Chestnuts with Red Cabbage

Spiced Chocolate and Almond Slice

Venison with Red Wine and Guinness Hot Pot

Use this link, click on the recipe name or more to get all the details

Unfortunately John, incomplete recipes or missed ingredients are par for the course on this site. I would say the amounts should be:-

1oz butter (just enough to fry the onion)
250gr (scant 2 cups) frozen peas
500ml (2 cups) vegetable stock

Hope this helps and the recipe works for you!!!

Just treat them exactly the same. You can mash, bake, roast, cook them with your roast. Anything you can do with an ordinary potato you can do the same with a sweet potato.

My favourite is boiled and mashed, add a little grainy mustard and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. I always use the peachy/pink ones, I don't like the white.

Hi SD -

I found a recipe on site for Lentil Burgers with Raita which you might care to look at. Use this link.

I think they would be a good replacement as Kirsch is a dry clear brandy distilled from black morello cherries and is infused with their unique aroma and taste. Not to be confused with creme de kirsch, which is a sweet cherry liqueur.

Can I be nosey and ask what you are making?

Hi chimes -

The weight of the dried fruit and peel add up to 475gr. I would use 200gr of raisins and 200gr of sultanas. Make up the other 75gr by peeling and grating a large cooking apple, or some apple and some slivered almonds.

Hi HelB -

They are liquor soaked cherries which can be purchased in a good deli or speciality food store.

However, if you want to make your own.

Griottine Cherries – Pour 5lbs of pitted cherries in a large container, then coat them with 5lbs of sugar, the zest of one of each – orange, lime, grapefruit & lemon, one stick of ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon each of wholes cloves and allspice. Mix well. Pour in Brandy, enough to cover and place a plate on top of the cherries to keep them submerged in the liquid. Cover and store in a cool, dry place. They will be ready in about three months.

Hi BrendaJ -

It's the butter which has been smeared inside the pudding basin which should be firm after the basin has been in the fridge for 5 minutes (step 1 of the recipe).

The margarine and butter which you mix in to the flour, etc. should be at room temperature (step 3 of the recipe).

Hi Dee2 -

Hi Smeg -

On Christmas Eve I would prepare the apples and berries and let them go cold. (I assume you cook them). Put them in the dish the crumble will be cooked in, cover. Prepare the crumble mixture and put into a sealed container and refrigerate both. On Christmas Day all your daughter has to do is sprinkle over the crumble mix and bake.

Lucky you having a Christmas helper. Hope all goes well!!

Hi Ken -

Go to the recipe you want to store. There is a list just to the right, click on Add to your Recipe box. This will be saved and when you want to look at your saved recipes select My UKTV Food which is at the left hand side of the screen above the advert for Rooster Potatoes.

Liesha - if you are in the UK it might be difficult to get Corn Syrup which is an American ingredient. You can successfully use Golden Syrup as a substitute.

Hi Simski -

I actually watched him made this soup the other day. He chopped the onions quite finely so that they really melted down.

Personally when I make French Onion Soup I half the onions then thinly slice them (like half moons).

Hi Geoff, just had a look at the recipe. I feel the "sugar" is an error. I don't think sugar is necessary when you are using honey.

What do you think?

Glad I could help.

btw - Sainsbury on-line lists La Truffe Graisse D'Oie (Goose Fat) - £2.99 for 350gr. Perhaps they only stock it at this time of the year!!

Hi JanineL -

Found this information on Delia's site. Unfortunately it does not mention weight of puddings.

"Instructions in Good Food mag from a couple of years ago which states 160C/140C fan/gas3 for 8 hours. Stand bowls in a deep roasting tin and half fill with boiling water. Cover the whole tin tightly with foil and carefully put in the oven. Check the water level every couple of hours and top up with boiling water if necessary."

Hi Shirty, hope this settles the argument.

Casserole definition - this term refers to both a baking dish and the ingredients it contains. Casserole cookery is extremely convenient because the ingredients are cooked and served in the same dish. A "casserole dish" usually refers to a deep, round, ovenproof container with handles and a tight-fitting lid. It can be glass, metal, ceramic or any other heatproof material. A casserole's ingredients can include meat, vegetables, beans, rice and anything else that might seem appropriate. Often a topping such as cheese or bread crumbs is added for texture and flavor.

Stew definition (noun) - any dish that is prepared by stewing. The term is most often applied to dishes that contain meat, vegetables and a thick soup-like broth resulting from a combination of the stewing liquid and the natural juices of the food being stewed.

Stew definition (verb) - a method of cooking by which food is barely covered with liquid and simmered slowly for a long period of time in a tightly covered pot. Stewing not only tenderises tough pieces of meat but also allows the flavours of the ingredients to blend deliciously.

Hello Does the cooking -

Reblochon cheese - This rich and creamy French cheese is quite mild for a washed rind cheese, but it's complex enough to be popular with gourmets. The rind is edible, but too pungent for many people. Substitutes: Pont-l'Evêque OR Brie OR Beaumont OR Esrom OR Beaufort OR tomme (nuttier taste) OR raclette OR Port Salut OR fontina.

Tomme de Savoie cheese - This is a mild and pleasant French cheese that's semi-soft when young, firmer when aged. Substitutes: Tomme Crayeuse OR Saint Nectaire OR Muenster.

There are a few Tartiflette recipes on site, most use Reblochon. Ed Baines uses Gruyere. Another recipe says Les Deschamps cheese, or any cheese with good melting qualities.

Hope this helps!!!

Two days of Gary Rhodes. A bit much, don't you think, in view of the fact that none of his recipes are available on site. You would think with all the air time he gets on UKTVFood he would be willing to provide some of his recipes for free.

I really like Judge John Deed, but this week I have been enjoying The Duchess of Duke Street. I remember seeing this many years ago.

One programme I would like to see repeated is Love Hurts with Adam Faith and Zoe Wannamaker. Any chance??

Hi rday -

I think the Canal Barge probably featured in one of the Cook on the Wild side episodes.

Found reference to a small boat (Bain Marie) which featured in the TV series Cook on the Wild Side.

Also that he went foraging on the Wash and the gloomy Fenland Canal. No further information unfortunately.

As far as I can gather his first TV programme was Cook on the Wild Side, followed by TV Dinners then the River Cottage programmes.

Hi St. George -

I only buy wholewheat (meal) pasta and just make the usual pasta recipes. My favourite, at the moment, is Delia's recipe for Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic and Chilli. It is so quick and easy, a great quick, tasty lunch. However, for this recipe I don't use spaghetti, I prefer pasta shapes like Fusilli or Conchiglie. The bits of garlic and chilli cling in the grooves.

Had a quick browse, but cannot find anything about washing dates before storing or freezing. Personally I would be inclined not to immerse them in water. I would remove the stems and give them a wipe with a clean damp tea towel and then a few pats with a dry towel.

Hello Jane -

They certainly sound delicious. Hope this information is helpful and you won't be disappointed come Christmas.

"If packaged in an airtight container, fresh dates will last from one to eight months without refrigeration, three to twelve months if refrigerated, and up to several years if frozen. Store dates in the back of your refrigerator where temperatures are usually around 30°F to 40°F. It is also important to store dates away from strong smelling foods because they will absorb odours easily."

Hi Shell -

This recipe is from his new programme French Odyssey. Just checked on the BBCFood site where it says that Rick Stein's recipe for Prune and almond tart with Armagnac, as featured on the programme, has been removed from the BBCFood website until 13 January 2006, owing to copyright issues.

This dish and other recipes cooked by Rick on the programme will be featured in a book to accompany the series. Rick Stein's French Odyssey is published by BBC Books. RRP £20. ISBN 0563522135.

If anyone posted the recipe on this site it would be deleted, again because of copyright.

Yes, you can eat the skins.

Hi AuntM -

Sorry you missed the recipe. You won't find Gary's recipes on this site because of copyright rules, and if anyone posted the recipe it would be deleted. I checked his website, but no luck.

Trekkie, the roast potato recipe is on this site.

A few of the recipes say what sort of equipment you need. For example, I looked at Rachel Allen recipe for Cucumber Raita where it says you will need Baking sheets and trays, cook's knife, cutting boards.

I think it goes back to the days when there was an advert at the side of the page with a direct link to Cucina Direct (an online kitchen shop) and I am sure you could click on "what items you need" and it took you to their website. Obviously a ploy to get you to buy from Cucina Direct.

I would mix in 2 or 3 tablespoons of milk to start with. Check the dropping consistency, and if you feel it is still a bit too thick gradually add a little more milk until you are happy with the mixture.

Happy baking!!!

There are lots of recipes on site with ingredients missing, or some other type of error. Just wish they would get them sorted out.

Hi Roasted -

Hope this info helps to alleviate your confusion.

"Buckwheat is not related to wheat and is not a true grain, but rather the fruit of a plant belonging to the same family as sorrel and rhubarb.

Buckwheat Flour is sweet tasting, slightly speckled and naturally gluten free as buckwheat has no connection with common wheat. Great for noodles, pancakes & blinis."

Hello tezybaby -

The only information I could find on the internet about Tottenham Cake was -

"A few years ago I discovered this really yummy cake from a bakers in Islington. It's pink sponge with pink icing and pink hundreds and thousands on the top. It's called Tottenham cake but I never really wondered why. Yesterday I was told it was made to annoy Spurs and their supporters, being a pink fairy cake. Made me giggle for ages."

If your husband's grandparents are Spurs supporters this could be the cake they were talking about. If so, you just have to make a pink sponge, cover it in pink icing and pink hundreds and thousands.

Cheers!!

Hi Tweedle Dum -

I live in the west central Scotland and cannot get a decent Arbroath Smokie anywhere. I buy them on line direct from Arbroath. Order them before noon on a Mon. Tues. Wed. or Thurs. and you have them the next day. The service and the Smokies are absolutely first class. They are vacuum packed and can be frozen. I spent all my school summer holidays in Arbroath living with "Fisher Folk", who actually smoked the fish and can remember eating smokies straight from the smoke pit. (absolute bliss)

[link]

I know this is not much help to you as you want to buy them in Sheffield, but if you want a decent Smokie it is definitely worth while buying them direct from Arbroath.

I am in no way connected to the business, merely a very satisfied customer.

If you don't want to make the usual meringues, pavlovas, etc. you can freeze them. Just put the egg whites in a container or plastic bag (you don't need to mix them) and indicate "number of whites". They will keep in the freezer for up to a year.

Hi Aliz -

My mother always made blackberry and apple jelly (Bramley cooking apples). You have to strain this, but not the jam. The jam recipe also uses cooking apples, not lemon to help it set.

There is a recipe on this link for bramble and apple jam which you may care to look at.

[link]

When it comes to testing for a set put a little of the jam on a cold saucer and allow it to cool, then push the jam with your finger, the surface of the jam should wrinkle. Remove the pan from the heat while you are doing this in case the jam boils for too long.

Hi Snowy -

My mother's recipe, sorry I don't have quantities, but if I remember correctly it was cooked in a 2lb loaf tin. Beef and bacon minced together, bread soaked in water then squeezed to remove excess water, egg to bind, loads of HP Sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Put mixture in loaf tin, cover with rashers of bacon (this keeps the loaf moist). Sorry can't remember cooking time or temperature, but she always left it in the tin until it was cold so the juices soaked back into the meat. It was delicious, I can taste it now.

One 9gr packet of powdered gelatine is equivelant to 6 sheets of leaf gelatine. So by my reckoning you would need to use roughly 3gr. Hope I'm right!!!

Check the link below. Some useful information.

Hi David -

You could substitute turnip and celery (not such a strong flavour), but I would give this a try. You could perhaps add some celery seeds which would help the flavour.

How about Gary Rhodes Gypsy Tart - recipe on the link below. I would just eat the chocolate, or maybe grate some over the tart when it is cold.

Put a plate on top of the pan of simmering water (big enough to take the piece of fish and any other ingredients) then cover with another plate of the same size. I've done this in the past and it works.

There are 3 S&KP recipes on this site. Brian Turner, Marguerite Patten and Mike Robinson.

Type Steak and Kidney Pudding in the search for box at the left hand side of the page, make sure recipes is showing, then click on Go.

You might want to check out Delia's recipe, which is on this link.

Sainsbury have Ground Rice. Really cheap, about 70p for 500gr. You'll find it beside the Pudding Rice.

Hi Jill -

Don't have the recipe you are looking for, but Tamasin Day-Lewis made a Hazelnut and Chocolate cake on her programme today.

The recipe is on site and you will find it on the link below.

Me again cheekygirl -

Jeanette Orrey, a pioneer of decent school dinners was on GFL back in April discussing her new book The Dinner Lady. Use this link to find out more about her book.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other grannyboo. Both serve the same purpose, but as the paste is more concentrated you don't need to use as much. Having said that, I do know you can get Tomato puree which is concentrated.

Hi cheekygirl -

There are a few of Jamie's School Dinner recipes on this link.

I posted this quite recently, but here it is again to save you searching.

Yes you can freeze egg yolks. However, egg yolks will coagulate during freezing, but the addition of either salt or sugar as a stabiliser will prevent this happening.
To every 6 egg yolks beat in 1/2 teaspoon of salt for savoury dishes or 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for sweet dishes.
Pack in small rigid containers or ice cube trays. Remember to indicate if they are sweet or savoury.
1 tablespoon of thawed egg yolk equals 1 egg yolk.
Thawed egg yolks should be used immediately after thawing.

Glad to be of help buckles. Hope you and your daughter enjoy it.

I did not see the programme, but have searched through her recipes on this site. Could only find one with Plums, so if you are looking for "Tuscan Plum Tart" use the link below.

Hello frenchtart -

Yes it is the same Rachel Allen. She is related to Darina Allen (daughter or daughter-in-law??) who used to have cookery programmes on TV a few years ago. She has a cookery school in Ireland. Link below.

Hi kat -

Slice them, open freeze then put in container or polythene bag. Great for cooling drinks (instead of ice cubes) or for lemon tea.

Freeze the juice in ice-cube trays then transfer to container or polythene bag. Handy if you only need a little juice.

I've never tried boiling it. Do you just use plain water or do you add anything?

Hi Snowy -

From my freezer book:-

Wash and dry. Remove stones if they are going to be kept frozen for more than 6 months. Open freeze and when frozen pack into polythene bags.

Send me some, I love them.

I have seen Ken Hom use this technique when doing a chicken or beef stir-fry. Mix a couple of teaspoons of cornflour and a little salt into an egg white, add the cubed chicken/beef and let it marinate for about half an hour. I think it helps to tenderise the meat,

It's called Orzo. You might be able to get it in a good Deli.

Hi Fordy1 -

No problem Marie. I like noseying (sp?) around. I'll do the looking, you can do the cooking!!!

Cheers

Marie - just found a James Tanner recipe, Sea Bass Thai Style, which you may care to look at.

Hi Marie - why don't you have a look at Nigella Lawson's recipe for Hot and Sour Soup, which is on site on the link below. You might be able to pick out some of the flavours you enjoyed from her list of ingredients.

Hi Spadge1 -

1 tablespoon of thawed white equals 1 egg white.

For starters - Dainty sandwiches with the crust cut off.

Cucumber on its own or with Cream Cheese.
Egg Mayonnaise with Watercress.
Smoked Salmon.
Chicken and Mayonnaise.

Hi Relish, I checked Nigella's site but could not find anything.

However, there is a recipe on this link for Roasted spicy cauliflower. It uses chilli powder, but it does say that Nigella recommends cumin powder. I would just follow the recipe and use whatever spice you prefer.

Scroll down, the recipe is near the bottom of the page

Like frexy I am in the dark. However I did a bit of browsing and found the following. Don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but you did not give any clues.

This may be worth a look. It is a Greek recipe called Ekmek (a layered custard cake) and one of the ingredients is Rusks or Melba Toast. It also says "Cake" refers to the rusks which have soaked up the syrup.

There is a recipe on this link for a Holland Rusk Cake.
