    How can I clean my Grater?

    I don't have a dishwasher, thanks for asking the question because now I will be able to use the finer areas on the grater. I don't normally use it because it is such a pain to clean. A toothbrush. WoW! What a handly little thing. I have a makeup toothbrush which I use to comb my...

    Imagine a job with a high heel ban!

    I agree that employers have the right to bring in a dress code (within limits as a company that pays a basic salary can't expect you to buy designer items etc...unless they give a clothing allowance which will be grand! ;) I think the footwear ban has much to do with the industry you work in. I...

    Do you let your children help out?

    I agree with you. My mother isn't much of a cook but my dad is. However he didn't like anyone stiring his broth (and the odd this is I am the same way now) but I used to watch him do his thing and I too like mixing bunch of stuff without any recipe...just making it up as I go along...

    Salmon and avocado starter questions

    Okay well so I tried it! And it didn't come out like I would have hoped...I don't actually think ANY mayo should be invited to the dish. Because it wasn't patte like and I ended up putting them in glasses with finely chopped lettuce and the pieces of smoked salmon twirled around the patte stuff...

    Salmon and avocado starter questions

    I think only the chef who made it will know. Darn. But I'll give it a try over the weekend. I'm sure it is avocado, flaked salmon, a bit of lemon juice and a small amount of mayo. Yummy!

    Kitchen Disasters

    Haha! My worst kitchen disaster has nothing to do with food but it did happen in the kitchen. I bought hair removal wax which you pop into the microwave for 1minute and then it is melted and ready to use. My microwave at uni took exactly 1 minute and then you could stir the wax for a bit and...

    Salmon and avocado starter questions

    Hi everyone I was at a wedding this weekend and the starter was a salmon and avocado spiral thingy. It had smoked salmon twirled around salmon, avocado and maybe mayo pâté. I’m not to sure. I was really glad when the guy sitting next to me wasn’t keen on avocado and passed his on to me. The dish...

    Why is baking so difficult?

    Thanks for all of your time to write up some advice for me. I must tell you one thing; I considered sticking to only cooking before reading your replies. Firstly, my family enjoyed the biscuits – or so they said. Many complained that they are too sweet, which I can vouch for. Science. I get...

    Why is baking so difficult?

    Hi all Yesterday I tried my hand at some chocolate fridge biscuit-type yummies to take along to my dad’s birthday dinner tonight. I followed everything to the T and yet it tastes too buttery and appear brittle.:ermm: Is there an art in baking? Some sort of measuring tool or butter to use which I...

    I'm new

    Hi everyone! Thanks for your kind welcomes. I love to play around with dishes but I'm not at all a pro, it still takes me ages to make something proper. My FAVe pasta dish Wyogal must be one that contains penne, chicken, mushrooms, peppers in a yummy creamy garlic and cheese sauce. Oh my soul...
