Kim thats true, casual doesn't mean unhygienic. Actually thats his fashion taste he thinks by dressing casual, thats the new fashion, to him. His mum doesn't have a fashion taste, if you noticed.

Hi Kim.It was a nice dress, she wears a lot of dresses. But women always have to make an effort, don't they? They will be critised more than poor Tom, if she was scruffy. I can never find a dress that will suit me. B

There is always someone who is smart!

Dr Hilary says eating and drinking in moderation, is ok.
A glass of sherry is very good for the elderly as it stimulates their appetite, maybe thats why I like a drink of wine before I eat, (or two).

Hello Pete I thought Camilla was his mum!

Do you know who his mum is?

Maybe his mum should tell him to smarten up?

Hi Adrian do you know when she is coming back, maybe she has sailed away with Jefferey in his boat! All the best, Enza

Maybe he will wear a glamorous silky shirt for his birthday, come on Tom!

Thanks for that I thought she had already started, she had a barn warming, but maybe I missed that one, if it is a repeat.


Love to all

Has Ina garten new series started?

Ina Garten made some chocolate bark recipes really easy to make and delicious!

Thats not very nice Jan. He is very sweet and really dedicated to food. His wardrobe needs looking at though.

They should make it easier for us to find a recipe, finding Ina Garten recipes you cant find on the Good food channel.

Its all in fun Jeanne, they like taking the mick. My family are Italian and though I am born in England, I like making fun of their accents.

Have you watched Nigel Slater tonight on BBc 1 he was very good.

hello Azelia are you doing your own wedding are have you got caterers. Wish I was getting married.

He will be remembered by all the tv chefs and the public. He was one of the first cooks on tv who became very popular. He had a sense of humour that is lacking today. God bless you.

She is probably taking a long deserved rest, maybe Jerry has his boat and they are sailing far away!

Thanks Adrian will look forward to it. All the best to you.

I am glad you had more confidence to go back to the hotel, and thus getting a compensation.

I thing Geoffrey should have his boat. She would enjoy it she could entertain all her friends there how cool.

Welcome home Adrian, I was glad to hear that you mentioned us to Ina. Is she the same in real life as she appears on tv.

Loved this mornings programme its Ina's 40th wedding anniversary. Congrats to the both of them, they wanted a low key affair. Loved the idea of the tent, in their garden.

I love Ina and Jefferey, she loves entertaining and likes to have fun. Her recipies are good homely cooking not cordon bleu or cheffy just what we need.

No butter!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry thats walnuts.

It did not have a name Homelovingirl. I t was just white choc with dried peaches cranberries and roasted wholenuts.

Is it the same style as her kitchen though.

Thanks Azelia. I shall be making these scrumptious chocs, and place them in boxes and give out to families and friends, as presents. Don't tell Ina.

What is the American site for Inas recipes please.

I thought she was still cooking from her house the kitchen looks just the same as the one in her house. I like the white cocolate with fruit too, i might try it too where can I get the recipe? Thanks Azelia.

Adrian please tell Ina I am her best fan I watch her everyday, give her all my love. Enza

I bought some cherries from the stall sellers on the roads, and they were Spanish. I thought I was buying English.

Just cook the potatoes the day before and do the stuffing the next day.

Hi Ina you must let Jeoffrey get his boat as shown in yesterday's program. He wants one but she doesn't. It will be great fun you can cook for him in his boat.

Jefferey enjoyed his friday meal could be a favourite now. Love the pastries she made yesterday, better than his nans.

Are you all watching this prog, Marco is brilliant as usual!

Ina is great I love the way she cooks. She teaches us a lot and if it werent for people like her we would still be making beans on toast.

Ina is great I love the way she cooks. She teaches us a lot and if it werent for people like her we would still be making beans on toast.

Just want to say Happy Easter to everyone. I will be making a ricotta cake for the easter festivities. Happy Hols.

Ina's recipes are quite healthy really, she always uses fresh vegs and fresh fish. The butter side of things is the only fat content she uses and her cream in her cakes.

I agree Barshedale no one would bother to cook anymore if they had to look at what everything has. I enjoy cooking and know by instict what I am cooking with. Some peole just like picking at things too much. You know what you are putting into your cooking, we are not using these preprepared crap.

Ina's barn is finished everybody, she had a party for her staff. We did not see her barn though we might see it next time.

Aggie your a gem.

I want to find a husband at moment, I should watch the programme when it comes back. I have had one husband, but not the right one, still searching for the right one, its taking a long time. My age is getting the better of me!

White bread does cause bloating brown bread doesn't. I can't eat white bread anymore. I eat multigrain or just wholemeal or sometimes 50/50.

One cooks professionaly the other doesn't, so try and decide who cooks better now!

Used the like it at the beginning getting a bit thin now. Like the voice of David Lamb.

How do you know it is the cooker that does not work it could be the fitters who tried to fit the appliance.

Nick what is Jeffery up to I hope he has retired then he can see Ina all week! Yeah we can see him more too!

Her new shows have begun but her barn isn't finished yet can't wait to see it.

I like the anniversay dinner she had with Jeffery yesterday. The wedding cake she made was fantastic she made look so easy to make. She is great, happy anniversary Ina and Jeffery.

Hi Linda you got the wrong end of the stick I don't mean a can, I meant the measuring cups that Ina uses in her cooking, for mearsuring like flour sugar etc. I am making a cake I need to use 75g of flour and I wondered which cup I should use, half or a quarter or three quarters?

We actually saw her barn, the outside though, as it is still not finished. Enjoy watching her recipes as usual. They always turn out perfect. I see she is using less butter which is good.

What size cup do I use for 75g can someone please help?

I am really enjoying this programme, Gary Rhodes is presenting it very well, leave the poor man alone!

Hear hear I agree to that Terri! Maybe if Jenni comes back?

When are we going to see her in her new barn that has been built especially for her to do her programmes.

I like Nigel Slater, even though these are all repeats. I didn't see all the first ones, so this is a treat. He make everything yummy. I think he is yummy too!

You are awful but I like you.

5 years it is a long time I agree its not the same anymore not the same atmosphere as it was!

Good idea alc28, I shall do that next time, but I am told tahini paste is the authentic way to do it. Turkey steaks tonite fried in breadcrumbs.

My homous tasted too garlicky I put lemonjuice but not cayenne pepper ordinary pepper. I think I will but tahiti paste next time though, I used my smoothie blender not a normal blender, as I couldn't be bothered to take the other one out. You could see the chick peas.

Made the dip but no tahini, tasted a bit to garlicky, too much garlic, might buy tahini next time. Thanks Irnbrew

Can someone tell me when making humous dip do you have to put tahini sauce in it, or can you make it without.

Thats true if you put in after it doesn't mix in well. Best to put salt in while your cooking it flavours the food more.

Salt is very bad for the heart and shouldn't be used a lot. Better to put less and add more after it is cooked to ones taste. I will give it a bash at making lasagna with mushroom but my son doesn't like mushrooms.
You could make lasagna with differrent ingredients, spinach aubergines salami in small pieces, feta cheese ricotta anything you have left over in fridge. If you want it white do it with white sauce. If you don't want it white do with a basic tomatoe sauce.

I like her going in the different shops in her area, yesterday she went to a mushroom farm, and saw a big selection of wild mushrooms. She made a mushroom lasagna with what she bought. Oyester and blue mushrooms, they must taste really different to normal mushrooms.

It depend what you put in it too. Eggs and butter tend to go off.

Hi Paul, thank you for posting here and giving us your knowledge. Do you sell your own bread in the stores and what is it called. All the best to you. XX

We probably have to wait ages before it comes here.

Wish I had a chance to go there. One day if I am lucky. Would like to see Anthony in the flesh, I think I know him after seeing him on TV in different prog.

We are still getting repeats of her show. She invited her boss round to dinner yesterday love her sodas, with all different flavours, coffee, choc etc. Come on UKTV show us her new series.

I love Ina and her life in the Hamptons, she has a lovely home, friends and Jeffery, her sweet loving husband. What a lucky lady, I never get tired of her recipes, she does things in a home cooked way, and they always turn out 100%. Good luck to you Ina!

Personally I would dump it a cake can only last really about four to five months. I wouldn't eat it but I am fussy, I only eat fresh food anything past it's expiry date even on same day, I turn my nose up.
Why don't you get one from shop, without icing, and ice it yourself. Then you know no one will have food poisoning.

It turned out ok my cottage pie in the end. Just cooked a bit longer like you said. All the best

Good luck Becky I am sure it will sell well. I have just made a cottage pie, is there a recipe for one in your book, mine has come out a bit soggy.

I like Gary, he is in Strictly Come Dancing, he has a fit, sexy body. I wish him well in it.

You could go to Brittany in France he is doing his new programme at the moment. On 9pm everynight.

Did you see the long sandwich Ina made today, and the open egg sanni, it made me really hungry. She is great, she makes things look so easy.

Anyone seen the gorgeous pic of James in Celebs magazine. He is in a new prog called James Martin's Brittany, can't wait to watch. The prog if for UKTVfoods of course.

I like Ching she does seem to make Chinese food more easy to follow with her programme. Trying to get the ingredients might be difficult sometimes.

I would like to buy some knives in a block are the cheap ones any good?

Could it be that he got a lot of stick the first time that he has learned to be a bit more cortieous.(sorry about spelling) Chinese food is very different and we can learn a lot. Indian food we can learn a lot from too.

Could it be that he got a lot of stick the first time that he has learned to be a bit more cortieous.(sorry about spelling) Chinese food is very different and we can learn a lot. Indian food is very different to our cooking and there is a lot to learn there as well.

See the recipe post on Rhodes.

I saw Gary today on Loose women, he came across quite good, he talked about his programme in China.

Hope you get on alright, let us know.

I enjoyed this programme last time, but its repeats again!

A bit late in replying, just saw your post now. If you will get the money back when you sell it then it is worth every penny. Ask an estate agents' opinion, anything that gives you extra space, is worth it!

It depends if you like dado rails. It you have very high ceilings than I think its better to leave them in. It breaks your walls up a bit. If you don't like dusting, I think they are a dust collector, myself. If you paint them the right colour to cordinate with the rest of the colour scheme, then they can look very nice.

Sounds great Woof Woof.

Hi I drink the stuff, but you can use it in desserts with lemon. How about putting a touch in Lemon Meringue?

Thanks for that TVFoodie. I thought it was with fish. Must look out for it.

Anyone watching this prog, very simple recipes to follow. Chocoholics galore!
Marinara sauce is mentioned quite a lot, what is the version over here?

Have you tried a health shop for coconut?
Like the new series of Barefoot Contessa, isn't she supposed to be having a new kitchen built?

Thank you for that advice, I want to paint my doors too. I would like the grain of the wood to show through, though!

I thought she was a breath of fresh air, Ms Lamb. I thought she did well.

Miss Ann and her style of doing up a home, not much on now on Ukstyle tv.

Ferran it probably tastes great, but I have a life, your recipe takes too long. Prefer the simpler version.

I can believe it he seems a nice guy on the tv. Luv you Rick.

I think that as well, if you think about all the starving people in Africa, you would try and spend a little less. Why do we have to save all year round just for one day. Its ridiculous all the money that is spent for one day, now there is a credit crunch people might not be so extravagant. Christmas is for, bla bla bla, don't get me started on this subject again please!

Do you mean a quotation for a valuation on your house?

Eek Christmas! Get me out of here!

We has a good crop of broad beans this year. I wish I saw your recipe for the dip first Mrs Woof Woof. Another way we cooked ours was, with pasta. Pasta and broad beans in an oil and parsley and garlic sauce. All gone now back to the frozen ones now.

You cook the beans first before pureed?

She makes everything look easy. Jefferey seems to be at work all the time though. He needs to get a local job so he can be with his missus more.

I like the guy as well, he has a sexy voice.

Thanks trinchetto are you Italian by any chance? Just got back from my hols enjoyed it and the food.

Going to Sardinia for two weeks. Hope I find some good restaurants. See you when I get back.

Hey all, guess what I bought today cups. I got them from Berties the Cook shop, they are plastic all all different colours with spouts for pouring, I can't wait to use them. Bet mine aren't like yours.

Probably they are in Eastern Europe I suppose.

Did you see the Eurovision last night Russia won, good song.

Again this soup pasta is really only available at Italian Shops, or maybe a deli might stock it. You can get all different shapes, little stars, little rice shapes all for soups. Italian mums give their babies this in chicken shoups. Its called pastina, and different shapes, have their own names. I often go to my Italian Grocers out of town, as we do not have one in Brighton!

Hi all,
thanks for all your tips. My scales are being made redundant. I think I will use my Pyrex jug!

Thanks for that info. Do you mean you have to have different cups for different ingredients?

Can you use just a normal tea cup or coffee cup, without having the real cups?

You can't win, we moan if they show him all week-ends and now you want Rick again.

Italian shops, delis or try Taj shops they have their own arabic one. They call it something else, but they will probably help you. Delis call it orzo and Italian delis do too. Good luck, I call it baby food, but its like barley.

We had risotto with lobster at a restaurant the other day. It was very creamy and red, bit mean with the lobster and prawns, but delicious all the same. Don't know what to do for tonight.

I cannot bear the Thai small chillies they are very hot. I wanted some chillies the other day, and went to my local Taj Mahal shop, and all they had were these. It is more harder finding a spanish deli, around here. Pimentos are nice not too hot.

Have you tried getting in touch with an agency here in England?

You know what my advice is, get a surveyor in, to survey the property before you buy!

Do you mean penne arrabiata with chillies?

I have just started watching this programme and I am enjoying it. I have to watch two series, to see who wins in the end. The result doesn't just depend on food also how the host treats her guests and if she makes them feel comfortable too.

Lucky you travelling around the world. Look forward to seeing the new episodes of Ina and hopefully we can see more of New Hampshire.

Did you live there as well?

I am glad to hear it. I would like Ina to show, her going out more and seeing all her friends. Maybe her going out on hols with Jeffery would be good. Being romantic with Jeffery and pulling his leg more.

They can be cold tile, but you usually put rugs all over the floor. What about a hardwearing lino?

She is nice, but can she let anyone else have a word.

Hi welcome back I hope you are well and had an enjoyable time away. We are encouraged to buy local fresh produce, what should we do?

Gino is not British how can you vote him British Iconic Chef.

Keith Floyd, Rick Stein,Delia Smith, Gary Rhodes, James Martin, Nigella Lawson, Gordon Ramsay, James Oliver etc. etc.

He is right, you can't freeze pasta dishes, but lasagna you can.

I like Alan he is full of information nice guy.

We had a sunday lunch at our local Carvery in Peacehaven this Sunday. Lots of veg and roast meats, as much as you can eat. Good value, and no washing up, for a busy mum like me it's ideal. Desserts are good value and home made, thanks!

James Martin is mine, so lay off everyone. I have had my eye on him for ages so keep off, ladies.
He is all of the above, plus good body etc etc etc. I hope is not you know, as he is still single!

her guests are pretty dishy! Like her recipes! I wouldn't mind them being my guests, look but not touch.

I thought you meant Ketchup, sorry. I@m sorry you had a relapse hope you feel better soon.

Jamie should have someone advising him about the hygiene aspect of his kitchen, poor boy, he can't think of everything. What about his wife giving him a hand on old crockery etc.

Hi rosti hope you are well and not working too much! I like carrots in mine and mushrooms but my son doesn't like mushroom so I don't put them in. You would put put ketchup in it that sacralige and Hendersons Relish? Yuk

Never put marmite in the sauce, must give it a try, does it make it more savoury? Can you taste the marmite in it. I don't pour boling water over the mince, don't you use oil to fry onions etc.

Hope everyone is a having a happy Easter.
I made an Italian ricotta cheese cake for Easter, enjoy your holidays all posters!

You can also get tile paint, first use a primer. Try crafts shops for transfers.

Sorry did not get the above post, is there a dinner recipe book for sale in the shops? I would certainely like one.

Thats why! He does a lot for charity too!

I remember prunes and custard Yuk! My favourite was choc pudding and choc custard, I can never get it the same at home! Cornflake tart as well we had, the pastry tart was really thin, it was very nice. Come to think of it the school dinners were good, but when your young you don't appreciate them.

Do you text on the mobile a lot? It shows

She is on everyday Jen. I think she is great too.

You will find nowdays that wedding cakes do not have to be in fruit. Chocolate seems to be more popular, or vanilla sponge?

I have some porridge oats, I need to use up. I will try and make biscuits with.

Love the show and the way he grows veggies and incorporates with his cooking. Why isn't he married?

Lamb cutlets are more tender when cooked. I like to cook them in tomatoe sauce when I a make pasta. But all the above recipes look good.

I did a food and hygiene course yesterday, and they covered the jewellery bit, it should not be worn in case you get bits of it in your food, nothing about the hygiene side of it. The most important item was do not mix raw meat with cooked food!

Neutral colours should go, creams etc. Lots of eccessories pictures.

We have them on the coast here in Peacehaven near Brighton, I don't like the look of them myself. OH seems to love them, he collected some over the week-end. Yuk!

60 wow I didn't know she is 60! She does not look it. Many happy returns Ina, hope she throws a party and invites us all.

We have to wait till October!

Yes they can, you can get modern style open fires now days.

I haven't made them myself but I think you need a potatoe waffle machine, worth checking out. I buy the frozen ones, but thought there is only one ingredient in it, potatoe.

hi, why don't you cheat millym, go to the chip shop and buy a portion. Say you made them in your fryer, he will never know! I think take away chips from fish and chip shop, are the best!

Are you intending to cut up the apple and put it in the pie. Or leave the apples cut up with lemon juice so they don't discolour?

I love this programme, she is a great presenter, and finds some beautiful prop very reasonably priced.

Your welcome, GFL has finished, and it won't come back, so people should just get on with it, and try and enjoy something else. Jenni is still around, she has moved on, why haven't her fans?

UKtv food user, where have you been all this time? Rosti is fed up in answering all your GFL threads.
Have it out with the producers not Rosti!!!!!!

I would like a house like Ina Garten, she inspires me no end. I like the way she decorates her table for her dinners, everything matches, same colour flowers as her napkins. Would like to see her new barn when completed.

His split from his 4th wife has made him ill. He has a restaurant in Thailand and has come home to England to get well. Get well soon Keith, we all love you.

I hope this is not true, wasn't he on Staturday kitchen with ATW, not long ago. Please stay well Keith don't let us down.

Take care Noshlette, let us know what the food is like.

Thanks posset, feeling a bit better today. Think I will take sammys idea for dinner tonight - fish and chips, take away.

Delicatessens and health shops. You can also make pizzas and bread with potatoe flour.

Thanks for your advice, at the moment I seem to be too busy and fed up to go anywhere. But I will certainly give it a try when I am lucky.

Certainly not! It's still your house, even if you are not living in it. He has the whole house to himself, and you are still paying the mortgage. You have a right to do what you want with your half of the house. Why do you have to pay rent to your boyfriend, you already pay for the mortgage on your house. He should let you stay rent free!

Ina Garten did a show with lots of pasta salad dishes, a while ago. See if you can get her recipes, from her blog.

I say Rosti you do feel strongly about this!

Too true gastrosurf, initiative and courage is lacking in a lot, in everyday life too.

Too true gastrosurf, initiative and courage is lacking in a lot, in everyday life too.

Get a builder in could be very dangerous, a qualified plumbe, as well.

"ditto" let us know how you get on Athul!

Mk is on at 7pm now, I do learn a lot from this programme, I must admit. More than I did from GFL. It lacks entertainment, but certainly makes up for it, from the knowledge it gives you, on so many different ingredients one can find! Loads of tips, come on, everyone stop crying over spilled milk. Jenni was good, maybe she could present MK!

My fella wants to open a restaurant, but I definitely rather he didn't, as you say no one wants to eat in one, no more. The after service is what puts people off. The food is brilliant but the astmosphere stinks!

Thanks Kahl for good tips.

I had cauli over ~Christmas where we were invited. It was cooked in the micro and was raw! Yuk. Did not eat much, but we had a pleasant time. How long are you supposed to leave it in?

This week-end had been bad for UKTV food not much to watch, lets hope 2008 will be good for food prog. Come on! I want to be inspired.

All the best for 2008 to everyone. To all the chefs too.

I am sure will see Ina soon, she inspires me no end. Like to know if the had a nice festive hols.

Happy New Year to everyone on UKTV foods.

Cabinets on wall are a good bet ,out of the way, hanging up. Mirrored ones create a feeling of space.

Hi Bonnar, I would rather go to a butchers or supermarket and see what I am buying, at least I know its fresh or not. Have a good Christmas everyone.

I am making tiramisu this year for my family. Taking two dishes with me one to mine and one to his. Just coffee flavour, the traditional Italian one. Make one with 450gr of cheese and then split into two. Hope you all have a good Christmas and a Happy new Year.

Thank god Im not the only one who thinks seagulls should be left alone!

Yuk I could never eat a seagull. We live on the coast here and have loads of these elegant creatures flying along the sea line. How can people be so cruel, no wonder there are lots of veggies around, leave the poor birds alone!!!!!!!! They are to watch and admire not eat!!!!!!!!

Is is cast iron again? How about getting a light one!

Told you she was taking a hols, but she is sharing it with us!

She is not on any more, I miss it too. Maybe she is taking a break for Christmas?

I disagree, Gary is very good in this series I would leave him alone, he works very hard being an excellent chef.

I think Gary Rhodes is a very good chef very meticulous in his cooking. Nothing wrong in having a strong opinion of yourself.

Food processor is a must. I don't have one !

Livewire is a field of information.

What is James Martin up to now, he is keeping quiet these days! Maybe he has a new girlfriend.

Sorry to hear that about Franks' restaurant. He can always try somewhere else. All the best Frank.

Thank you from me too. This is a very informative show, thanks.

I like this show too, about time they put new programmes like this.

Red accessories?

The fireplace should be the focal point, build her ideas round this.

Have been watching her programme today, and must say I had forgotten how good she is. Please can we have more of her thanks.

Must try that grain mustard. I sometimes beat a raw egg in the mash, with butter and milk. Depending what you serve the mash with, to compliment it.

Winter lettuce is good, curly one, endives?

My pansies are fantastic this year, they have small faces smiling. The birds don't come near mine. You must have a lot round your way.

Separate , is best. If you have space a bath and separate cubicle is best. If no room then do what everyone else does, a shower in a bath I can't stand this as the water, when I have a shower, in my bath, goes all over the window next to the bath. I have to dry it all up and some on the floor.

My personal favourite is advocado prawn cocktails. Can't go wrong with that easy to make.

Thank you all for your ideas. I made apple sauce in the end. It seems everyone went mad, and it all went. Thanks again posters!

Hi Pocket hope your move went well, are you still in the same area? Nice to see you back.

Thanks for that info Cheese obs, glad I live over here, I couldn't bear all that trouble!

How come in America they get a pre wedding party, or is the desserts for the actual wedding. We don't do a party before the wedding, or does she mean a hen party? Still in America they seem to do everthing so lavish and big!

Any more house programmes like the wow factor and house doctor? There doesn't seem to be anything worth watching on this channel any more!

Got a load of large cooking apples from someones' tree, any ideas how to cook them, don't say apple pies. How to freeze them too.

She has mad two desserts today, rum baba and floating island. She made them look so easy. How easy was that.

We haven't had any follow ups since it ended. Would like to see Marco again he is so smooth.

I tape her with my sky plus box. Cheaper that way.
As much as I like Ina, she could do with a personal trainer to run her round her garden, that sounds like fun.

Good luck with your stand Rosti.

That was a lovely post, there are a lot of memories in a house. If you all are happy in it! Like you say, a house is what the people in it make it.

Thats right owning your house is an investment and at the end of the day, even though you still live in it, you want an investment. Especially when you spend a lot of money improving it.

Yes posset I would like to see more of Marco but not only for his cooking.

Thats what he is, charming. Very charming he reminds me of Captain Thunderbird.

Winter lettuce curly one is good to put in now.

This programme has started again. Great I know what to do with my mornings!

You can decorate your house really with what budget you have available. The most economical way, to me, is fresh paint, modern clean styles, and therefore easier to maintain and keep clean. Minimalist is the way to go I think this day of age. Incorporate a little of your own style with accesories, and try keeping it minimal. Add your own favourite colour, with rugs cushions etc. Making it comfortable for your lifestyle counts a lot too!

Is it his restaurant, Jean Phillipe's? He's quite dishy!

Can we see him on UKTV foods please. Have him as a guest maybe on Market Kitchens.

Anyone see Hells Kitchen? The Maitre D was very efficient. He tripped over with a tray of food.

Provolone cheese is very light and strong. It has a sharp flavour. Lovely on its own with some bread.

I would love to try this dish. Lucky you GB05.

Thanks Rosti for that very useful info I often wondered about soda in pubs. Ta.

Marco White is a dish! What a sexy beast and can cook too!

Why these areas?

It depends if you want to sell it soon or live in it for a long time.

It was nice to see Jeffrey today, he is a cuddly little thing. It's so nice to see them together again, as he is away all week with work. Do they have any kids? The mousse was great, but I think there was to many ingredients in it.

I have recorded most of her programmes, on my sky box plus.

It was on today in Peurto Rica fabulous properties, very good prices too. I think I will go and live there, the beaches are out of this world.

You probably did. The weather gave mine blight.

I have left some toms on the plants the ones without blight, and I am glad to say they are turning red. Some hope for them yet, but I have thrown most of them away. If you can keep some toms, the good ones on the plants best to keep them on they might survive. Thanks to all for your advice.

Anybody seen this programme, it is quite good. I like the format, her kitchen is not as nice as her old one.

I have a lot of green toms, will have to find the recipe too. Thanks Jennie.

They are daunting for me too.

Yeah he does look older on MK thats why I didn't recognise him, good spot.

Matthew Fort looks different on GBM I very nearly didn't recognise him for a minute. I had to think who he was.

The only trouble is the cheapest quote doesn't always mean it is the best. Value for money is what you should look at. I bought a conservatory from the cheapest double glazing firm around. They did a very good job, but the windows are not very strong they do the trick, but not very good quality. Good luck. get your window seals done inside with pvc, easier.

No that is not feasible. I said before she just likes wearing big blouses and trousers to hide her figure.

Its true he is really caring Preston, it is amazing what they do, very clever builders in the programme. They do so much!

Who are you talking about?

Loved the apple pie she made yesterday (how is was that). She does make everything look easy. Does she have someone in to do the washing up? Hope so those kitchens in America are huge. Her garden is wonderful, I would love to have all of that.

I love the gardening designs programmes Ground Force, Garden Invaders etc. Keep on showing them please!

Anyone know of any good restaurants in Arundel? Been there this week. Lousy weather though.

Jenni had a stylist I think? Her clothes were always colourful, like her.

She probably needs a stylist to help her Anna, seeing as she does not have the time to look for new clothes. My birthday tomorrow, I could do with new clothes, and a stylist as well, never see anything I like in shops.

She wears blouses and trousers because, I suppose its easy for her, as she is big.

I like the Clothes show I get quite a few tips on how to dress.
I would like to see more home programmes too like House Doctor.

Bulgar wheat is easily available in supermakets, health stores. The garden looked wonderful, but wasted just for two people! Ina's recipes seem so easy to do, but then we aren't all like Ina. She makes everything look so easy.
How easy was that

MK actually returns in September.

I made a big dish of tiramisu, always makes a great dessert for a party. Everyone likes it. Good luck with your exams.

this series of Simply Italian are repeats, I've just realised.

I have just realised Anna that this programme is a repeat from last year!

How do you like Simply Italian annasherwood?

5pm everyday.

I am watching simply Italian, Barefoot Contessa, Mike Robinsons Safari Chef and some times MK when I can't watch anything else. I liked Jenni, but since she has been off (a lot of people may be upset) I have got a life. That is a compliment I think.

I would too, sorry I ticked you off.

You are right Anna, there is very little on UKTV foods, did you like UKTVfood with Jenni?

Are you saying he is not a good chef?

Hi Spicer1 my tomatoes got like that from the horrible weather, they were outside, not in the greenhouse. I left to many leaves on the plants I think, I had loads of toms but they were brown and rotten. This year toms have been a disaster for all, the bad weather I think? Let me know how your toms are. I have left a few plants that have not had the disease, but I don't think they will turn red.

I enjoy Safari Chef he is doing a great job Mike, considering the conditions out there in the bush. The chefs are excellent, I disagree Anna about the ingredients. The object of this programme, I think, is to show you how different nationalities cook, and the way they handle food. Food programmes can be dull just watching how to prepare food. It can be more interesting if you know where it comes from and how other people cook, and entertain.

Even though he is on bbc 2 now he is devine.

I thought I was going to get a good crop, but they got a disease in the end, and have pulled them all out.

I have cooked chorizo sausage for our tea tonight, it was just called paprika spanish style chorizo from Dulano. It is quite fatty but was needed in the risotto I made. Was gulped down by all.

And her weighing scales too.

I like Tamasin she has a real passion for her food and sure knows how to put the different ingredients together.
Her new kitchen which she has had over a year now, is great. We saw her American boyfriend as well in some series. I like it when they introduce their families in the series.

Hi Jackwagstaff hope your ok today.

Looks like thats the only new cookery prog on at the moment. Please make more UKTv food specialist channel of the year!

Hey she's a great British cook! Ok her hair should be tied back, but why do you all have to be nasty. A slight hint to her from her best friend should do the trick. It's the best cookery programme on at the moment, but I think she has finished her series, at the moment.

He is supposed to be holidaying there at the moment.
I went to an Indian restaurant the other day, I wasn't to impressed. I was a bit baffled with the menu, I am no expert on Indian food.

You might bump into Gordon Brown

Hi mondaychild, I did not mean a trellis for growing plants, I meant the posts like banisters that go all around the decking, and then some steps that go into the garden. Thanks for your help!

Agree Wagstaff people are to busy like watching Big Brother! What crap!

My tomatoes are very healthy, too healthy it looks like a jungle out there, the leaves have outgrown the actual plants. The tomatoes are just shooting out, but I am not sure if I should keep removing the leaves.

My partner has just done a decking in our garden, he has to put the trellis around it. What distance between each one, and how does he make the holes for each one?

Glad to hear you enjoyed Italy Wagstaff, my family background is Italian. There is some wonderful scenery in Italy, and watching these programmes bring back a lot nostalgia. I have not been to Italy, for a long time, so seeing programmes like Return to Tuscany is a joy. Trattoria, is spelled with two t's I think. My other half is Sardinian, and I have seen a little of this island. Italy has a lot of magic to it, the mountains and little cobbled lanes and flowers, all year round in some parts. The architecture is fantastic, the enormous iron doors that lead into big buildings, the intricate metalwork, the large fountains with big waterfalls, I miss it. The fruit trees and olive vines are very nostalgic to me.

If you soak the beans in water overnight first, I don't suppose you have to change the water when you cook them.

Depends which tinned chickpeas you buy. I buy the Italian brand, and find them very good. No need to use the dry ones, when the tinned are just as good! Just rinse them first. Never thought of doing a salad with them though, good idea. I will make some tomorrow.

Are you watching Nigel Slaters shows, they are good! He has such a way of explaining recipes.

I bought a new bed for £90, I haven't had a good night since, help! I can't afford a new bed, as I will never ever buy a cheap bed again. Any ideas how I can sleep better without spending more money? From a very sleepless person.

Are you planning to do more shows. I love the fantastic designs at the end. They look out of this world. They have that wow factor, please come back on our screens.

Does the beans cook just by pouring hot water over them?

Went to a posh wedding at the weekend,the food was done in a top hotel. The starter was good, but I have to say the main course was typical, boring vegs and beef. Passion Fruit torte, was excellent as dessert, like a mousse with a sponge base.

Hi Lesley my partner is from Sardinia, the South, I am sure any restaurant you see will be great! Enjoy

As a starter try why don't you try soup of your favourite veg. Main course pasta dish, lasagna or vegerarian pasta? Dessert well, choc your favourite?

I have seen the show. It is less dear because they use their own labourers and it is shown on tv, thus using the publicity.

She knows so much about cleaning. I noticed on her show she organised a womans office filing her papers in boxes etc. Would like her advice please on this. Where do I start, I tend to keep all my mail, and when I need to find something I have lost it. I keep fliers, advertisments in case I may need them one day.

My boyfriend is trying to build a barbecue in the garden. He needs help with it anyone know any good websites? Also doing the garden, maybe the Garden Invaders team could come and finish it for him?

Great programme, where do you live slapps, I will come and clean it up for you. Vinegar is what you need to start with, and a skip. Friends is a good start they can give you a hand. A friend who can paint too, a carpet layer, and Ann Maurice for the designing tips.

All supermarkets sell it now, in the dairy aisle.

They have taken it off at the moment. Maybe she is making new ones for us?

Thanks Rosti, might get some now.

I have often wondered what Kosher salt is, so basically its sea salt?

Leeks and ricotta lovely combination might try it. My other half not to keen on ricotta. Anyone got any other combination I could put in, not meat though.

Don't think it will happen somehow.

Watching Anthony Worral now in her place. Enjoying it, like to know how other people live! Never seen someone working so hard, fending his farm, career and family. Good for him, don't take this programme off as well now UKTVfood!

Hi Frank, I see you have been posting on here. Hope you are well and we miss you and all the other chefs that where on GFL! All my best regards Enza.

Don't put too much grappa in!

Anyone know what Simon Rimmer is doing nowdays? He's nowhere to be seen!

Where has the show gone, I see its not on this week?

Good one colliwobs! Hey why do you think Geoffrey is a little scary? I think he is sweet.(Thats to carol cake)

Julie, you are awful!

I think Inas cooking is great, it is not expensive. She uses all basic ingredients salads, fruits. You can vary what you do, you can change some of the ingredients, and make them smaller quantities.

Chalky died a while ago now. I have a dog Spot and the vet said he has a heart murmer.

I love this show I record it every day!

I laughed too and then cried my eyes out at the end. I am sure Jenni will turn up soon on our screens!

Rick Stein is brilliant, I can never get enough of his shows. The beautiful scenery of the British coast and the fresh seafood, there has never been a food programme like it. Fresh seafood from Britain! I live on the East coast, and we do not get all the seafood that the west coast gets.

You can also get the plastic type muffin tins, where you don't need to line them. Ina seems to make everything easy. I enjoyed watching her in Paris with Jeffery this week.

Enjoyed your show yesterday Jenni, fantastic! I cried with you I had a box of tissues with me. Good luck and thanks for all your hard work to make the show such a success. See you in another one soon. Enza and family.

Hi Frank, I would certainly try your restaurant if I was in your area. I am sure the food would be as good as you are on the programme.

I enjoy her programmes too. She makes everything look easy. A few recipes need ingredients that are not readily available here. She uses cups for measurements which is a lot easier, than weighing everything. She makes lovely pop ups, yorkshire puddings I presume?

I will miss her and everyone else will, come on Jenni what will you be doing next. Don't keep us in suspense, we should know as we are all your fans!

Great programme, enjoyed it, can we have more please!

We will miss her

Tomorrow Paul Hollywood is making gluten free breads, so there will be a few recipes there tinkbell.

Anne I think your the best designer on TV, I am so glad your back on UKStyle channel again. I could watch you every day, you always transform a house, and they are transformed to everybody's tastes. You know exactly what to do and where to put everything, from pictures to furniture. Please keep up with the series never stop or my life will be dreary again.

So we are going to get royals, teaching us how to cook?

Sorry rephrase that, I typed it out incorrect, it would not be as popular!

We know you do not like Jenni, but I bet it would be as popular as GFL, Glynpaul,Tana has not the makings of Jenni!

Hi Snowlight, I am not employed by the store, I am employed by IQFM Ltd, you have to get in touch with them, about your product.

Have you tried using rollers? They do not splash like brushes, also I use cling film to wrap them up in, when I want to use them the next day!

I agree with you planeboy!

What show are you talking about pogster?

I really miss the programmes with Ann Maurice, why isn't she making any more? Please make more please Anne, your the best.

I have just started a new job as an in-door-demonstrator. I have to make people sample products that supermarkets are promoting. I demonstrate cold foods ham,cheese,cakes,bread etc. Being interested in food, and watch GFL, I am very glad to have this opportunity. I also promote small farms who sell their cheeses etc in our store. So I am also supporting the small farms. Sampling their products one gets to know the best foods.

Jennis show will be axed in March/April. Look on gfl messageboard.

My partner works in another restaurant, in Brighton it is La Capanina, Madeira drive just near the Sea Life Centre, he is called Alfredo the chef. It is inexpensive and has a cosy feel to it. It is Italian and they make their own pizzas in their own coal fire oven.

Alan Coxon delicious recipe with peppers, I will certainly try it proper winter food.

And you get to see Frank as well, good evening! Shame I live to far away to go.

Jenni will I be sure be in another food programme maybe on ITV or BBC1, we won't see the last of her, you bet!

We went out in Brighton last night, and found the Fish Brasserie in the marina. I would recommend it, lovely atmosphere and very good service, food was good.

What all good ideas for lunch boxes, will give them all a try, thanks.

I like Jenni's clothes, does she have a personal stylist to choose her clothes? I dont' like the tops with trousers she wears sometimes, accentuating her figure, baggy tops are better.

Thats right I suppose, why do parents moan they don't have enough hours in the day to cook for their kids?

I agree with a lot of what you say, but putting all the blame on parents is not the answer. If maybe there was more time for the mum to be at home and start cooking from first thing in the morning, so the child could have a balanced dinner, when they get home from school. They wouldn't go and buy junk food from the shop! A good cooked meal everyday would stop kids buying junk, sweets etc.

Adverts on Tv, shops sweets chocs. How can it be the parents, we are just as bad as the kids! The moneymaking industry is to blame, but they are changing, Walkers crips made with sunseed oil, healthy mueslie bars etc.etc.

Hi Gracia are you still in Africa? I think that is really true what you said dinner is when you invite people over, when you are on your own, its supper.

My family are from Italy, they have a slight difference to us:-

Collazione - breakfast
Pranzo - dinner
Te' - afternoon tea
Cena - Supper

Of course in England it depends where your from and what traditions you have, we slightly differ from North to South.

Alan Coxon is delicious and knows so much. He explains the science bit about food which is a very good thing! Hi Alan! Nice to see you yesterday with the celebrations!

He is also on every sat morning on BBC1 Saturday Kitchen. He is a dish he seems to get better all the time, his cooking I mean

I can't get the link Livewire a pop up keeps coming up. Thanks all the same, hope your well.

Do you mean when she made sliced cake with chocolate spread and pan frie it, looked good.

we have great chefs, but who gets on best with Jenni?

Wouldn't mind seeing him in action on his cruise ship, what a catch he is!

Ooh naughty naughty.

Hmm its me again its neither of the above its Martin Blunos.(sorryy)

Tony something or other, blonde hair in ponytail and big tash, gets in the way when he eats

To Livewire - It wasn't Ian Parmenter tis was Tony Boulain?
He was on Food Uncut yesterday. Regards Enz

Thanks livewire.

Ok I can cook when I am inspired by Nigella and co.

You don't think she is a good cook then?

Good afternoon Lil'Abby, I didn't see it before, as now they have shown it at 5.30p.m. I thought she explains everything in detail! They show a bit of Scotland as well.

I am not having a hols this year The car keeps me forking out money all the time. I hate my car

Mine are Frank Bourdain, Ed Baines the Australian with the big tash forgot his name (anyone help?) Notice no girls involved

Hi all, how about the new programme seasonally scottish, the Mcdonald scotts is a breath of fresh air. Just what your after!

Giorgio and Tony please. We haven't seen those two together for a long time!

Is it because he gets on so well with Jenni? I like all the prizes they are giving away, but I never seem to win anything.

Well Angelina are you asking or do you know?
First having exactly the right amount of ingredients, whether it is measured or not. You have to know exactly the right quantity. Also the amount of cooking time is extremely important. Another fact is good quality, food which is grown, not necessarily organic, but fresh and not stale or near stale. The most expensive should be the right one, but, if you were watching Food Uncut, thats not necessarily true. So No 1 - good quality. No2 - Exact amount. No 3 - The exact cooking time.

I agree hartfelt, you should try the local food when abroad. Your husband is not adventurous enough, I would go on hols with my friends. I bet he is ignoring you with the football now?

The singing chefs, JC was having a great time, they were very entertaining and seemed to enjoy it. Though I think they should stick to their day jobs.

Hi all, hope everyone is well. My car is fixed but it may need more work done to it.

Congrats to Tina again!

Hi Fudges mum I used to post on here as Enz, a good mechanic are very hard to find nowdays. They charge alot of cash and I still am

I love Ann Maurice, she knows her stuff. Hope she is listening.

This programme used to be on nearly every day or in the week more. Why have they suddenly stopped is Ann Marie not making any more. She is great and I cannot live if they don't show her any more. Please more more more.

I would like to drive to all these new restaurants, but I am at this moment as my motor, my Pajero, has broken down on me again.

Hi just noticed this thread, has anybody heard about Keith Floyd. I hope he has recovered, maybe his son can let us know?

More Nigella Bites please, some great recipes on it.

I wish him a speedy recovery I miss him terribly he is a great chef/entertainer. Get well soon Keith, we are all rooting for you! Keith's son please send him all our best wishes.

Funny that we haven't bought bananas for about two weeks now, we just have gone off them.

I have found a marvellous farm, Middle Farm in Rye, Lewes, they have all local grown meat and veg, all organic of course. All fresh and tasty, just two miles down the road from me, and fresh jersey milk. I will do my shopping there from now on.
