Sorry been having pc issues 4 cloves of garlic 4 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon water 2 teaspoons of soy sauce - recipe doesn't specify, but I've been using dark 1 tablespoons of lemon juice

I have a sauce/glaze that we have constantly. But I'm wondering if I could make up atleast a small bottle of it, that would be used within a month. It's made from: Honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, water & garlic. It's quick enough to make, but to make things even easier if me and the family...

My dinner involved Turkey, roast potatoes in goose fat, sprinkled with semolina for extra crunch, mums brussels sprouts, roast carrots and parsnips with honey glaze, stewed red cabbage, winter slaw (which is now pickled to save) sage and onion stuffing, turkey gravy made with giblet stock...

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm just panicking as it's my 1st time doing the meal. The turkey is sitting in the conservatory to defrost. Its as cold as the fridge. So wondered if cold thawing actuallys works. Quicker. I took it out last night 23rd, and its a 4k bird. So fingers crossed it should...

Has anyone ever cold water thawed their whole turkey. I've taken mine out of the freezer a tad late to thaw in the freezer. And am worriec that it won't be thawed in time. Apparently you completely cover the bird in cold water and change the water every 30mins Thougts ideas?

I do a filo pastry pie Basically roughly 500g turkey, 150g ham = or whatever meats you've got 3tbsp oil, 300g leeks, 30g flour, 400ml milk, herbs, 1tbsp mustard, 80g cranberries, zest of orange. Cook leeks till softened, add flour, stir in the milk. Bring to simmer, add meat, herbs &...

Cheesecake & raspberry sauce, made and now in the freezer waiting for x-mas day, sadly the cheesecake split, when cooling but no biggie. The breadsticks were assigned to the bin, I use dried yeast, rather than fast-action yeast, so it didn't rise fully, I ended up making parma pinwheels instead...

I'll be making a white chocolate & ginger cheesecake & parma ham breadsticks, for Christmas both will be frozen, till the day

Only on my phone, i'll see if I can transfer the pic over. Though the pic isn't great

I've hever made a house, though I'm interested. I've made a gingerbread christmas tree. All I'll say is never again, almost 20 star sizes, ranging from a dinner plate size, to a regular biscuit size. Tok close to 3hrs to bake not including the mixing & chilling or icing time. However it did look...

It will be part of dessert for X-Mas Day.

When making a Pear Sorbet. Could you use tinned pears instead of fresh? As I'll need atleast 4lb of them. And that's for a serving for 6. It will be paired with white chocolate & ginger cheesecake

Good Quote Harry,"Thinking Man's Harrods" sadly their clothing line is getting some stick for losing quality. Though they food line is still great. I haven't heard that rumour about the Queen and her knicker's, otherwise Mark's & Spencer's could apply for an "By Royal Appointment", where shops...

It's a food & clothing store. It's not cheap, but not highly expensive. Though some will argue that it is. Can't think of an American store that is similiar.

Cool atleast I know that I'm not completely mad in starting early. Plus it will be the 1st x-mas dinner that I'm cooking :ohmy: My plan is to make things as early ahead as possible. Though I'm waiting for the cranberries to come into the UK stores, so I can make my cranberry & port sauce for...

Sadly I'm in the UK, we don't have Thanksgiving. Though my British Thanksgiving last year was a load of fun, with US friends we haven't seen in years & years.

I'm asking because on Monday I picked up Good Housekeeping Christmas 2013 magazine, which contains a lot of very nice recipes. My family already thinks I'm nuts as I've just finished a deep clean of the kitchen. So is end of Oct, beginning of Nov. Too early to think about it? but considering...

I have a Cairn Terrier named Bailey (though I swear trouble is much better for him) and a Border Collie named Maddie (though shadow is a good description). I'll post piccies once I find my damn USB pen with all our pictures. Maddie is quite nervous and recently gone off her food, so I'm...

TBF you should have seen my freezer last year. No way in hell to get any drawers opened, as it was pure ice. (mum hadn't defrosted it for years & years). So all the food had to be thrown, plus side an empty freezer ready for x-mas. Did it today, 2hrs from unplugging to re-plugging. Now to...

I'll be baking butter cookies, though I'll have plenty leftover dough to freeze. Though I do really want to get the task of defrosting the freezer done, before I make a start on thinking about x-mas

Thanks CWS4322 I'll try this recipe, asap, and I'll report back. I have a chocolate mousse dessert, which calls for these, plus they'll be a handy bake for get together's & presents.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for these french biscuits - (pink lady fingers 4 champagne), all the recipes I've found tend to clash with one another. So thought the best thing to do, was to ask here Thanks in advance

I tend to replant them, as I've read that supermarket herbs are always too tightly planted together, so they compete for water & sunlight. Doing things that way, they might last three/four weeks. From what I've heard that's much longer than usually

I buy fresh from the supermarket, when I can. They tend to die off very quickly. I grow saffron, but that came about as a mistake, when an online garden supplier sent me the wrong crocus. Sadly harvesting the threads are a pain. So if there was a herb garden, I might get a chance to replace...
