Hi, newbie here. can anybody please tell me where i can buy a bell cream maker as i used to have one years ago and it was fantastic.

I have one and use it always. Just discovered I can make mayonnaise with it as well so much easier, quieter and less messy than using the food processor. Does anyone know whether you can get spare parts anywhere? Mine seems to be developing a crack and I'm not sure whether my mother will let me pinch hers yet.

Have just read all of the above and my dear old Mum always used to make her cream with one of these machines. Used to really make your arm ache pumping the cream tho'. She even upgraded with an cream-making attachment for her old Kenwood Mixer. Did it not used to be called Mock Cream?? Anyhow it tasted great - so nice to reminise about things that time has made you forget!!

if I come over I will bring you some!!!

I'm going to Bergamo tomorrow afternoon to do some Xmas shopping! I haven't been in this huge shopping centre yet, although I've seen it a few times.

oh no! loads of clothes and fantastic food shops assuming we are talking Bergamo. Even the big supermarket is broken down into deli type shops inside.

Get the bus for 5 minutes and be in the old city it is really worth a visit in its own right. Great places to stay and good views...

But you cant buy double cream there!!!

Martino forgot to ask are there any foody shjops or is it just clothes??

Martino I know that thread was for Frexy BUT its my birthday soon AND guess where I want to go am going to have a search as soon as I finish painting big thanks!

Yes it is odd they have changed the way you search and I have to confess it was on the third page before I saw double cream.

To make double cream take equal amount of unsalted butter and full fat cows milk. melt in a saucepan but don't let it boil. Put in a cream maker, pump out, and leave overnight. Adjust balance for taste.

A cream maker can be used for other things as well as making cream.

Recipe for double cream? I typed in double cream but found no recipe, a lot of threads but no very long one

double cream is good for many many things but as well as what? why not give the link or information or just type the instructions here?

ha ha Lesley!! You type double cream into the search and select chat. There is a very long thread on the subject with the recipe.

it is good too for many other things as well.

Frexy, I think Ryanair are doing a zero cost return flight during January. Go to Bergamo now the biggest shopping centre in Italy and it is right next to the airport, you can walk! Day trip, empty bags and only airport taxes to pay!!!

martino until I get the (if I win it) one with instructions . The one I rec. today is so beautiful but no instructions . What does one do????

Excellent
glad I am not the only one who brings food stuff back from visits.
Went to Pisa last year and went to some market stalls, my sister in law came away with a dazzling orange bikini whilst I bought a big slab of Parmesan!

Frexy, the one Mary sent me is great, but I can tell you along with my sliced bread and Ginger wine in my hand luggage today, I bought back a litre of Tescos double cream from England.

Well done lesley, its quite exciting winning something on Ebay.
I know that those of you who cannot get double cream like to have one of these gadgets.

thanks Frexy I put in a bid for one and won it!! got it for my friend in France who's always whinging about cream !!! so its a brilliant gift and I liked it so much have put in a bid for one for me!

Oh yes of course, hers worked and the one I bought for you didn't, Mary reminded me of that not long ago too. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

naw! Mary from Oz sorted me out thanks.
