Rom: In Australia cornstarch is called cornflour.

Thanks. I am going to try to whip it normally and hopefully it will whip normal.

Hiya I have cream that is usually liquid that you need to whip but it is a bit too thick since being in the fridge for a while. Anyways I was wondering if there is a method for just thinning it out a bit. I need to whip the cream anyways but it is pretty thick so I'm not sure how well though...

chave982: You could do it without a bullion cube but we like the taste with it. People I know make it without it too. velochic: We haven't had any issues with toughness at all (been making it in family for years now). Probably because the cooking process is very very quick. The chicken hardly...

This is how we make it: 1) Get chicken breast (I use approximately 1/2 a kilo) and chop it up into cubes or strips. Longish strips are better in my opinion. I don't like fat cubes as much. 2) Put a bit of olive in a pan. Add chicken to the pan and cook the chicken till it is slightly golden...

I love Ras Malai as I find all the other sweets too sweet because of the syrup. My mum makes great Ras Malai and Gulab Jamun. I only eat the Ras Malai though!

Since I didn't have a roasting rack, I got some foil and made a ring with it so the meat stays off the bottom of the pan.

We use it a lot in Indian/Pakistani cooking. Many times it is just to add colour more so than flavour.

Just wanted to post that I made these today and they were great! :) My husband really enjoyed them as he likes fatter pancakes and said they were the best he'd eaten. Thanks for the great (and easy) recipe. I wanted to make pancakes so came on here and went looking for a recipe that I could...

Thanks Andy for the quick answer :) That will be a lot easier than cooling then reusing it as I plan to make the stock just before making the soup.

Hi, If I make chicken stock I read I need to cool it quickly (using ice) so as to avoid some range that is not good to be in. My question is if I make stock fresh and am going to use it to make soup - do I need to cool it down as normal and then use it for chicken soup or can I use it whilst...

I wanted to get a Kitchenaid but they aren't available here. I can wait but I thought I'd check if the Kenwood are any good as well :) What size Kitchenaid do you have? 30 years is great! Is it true the older Kitchenaid's are better than the newer ones?

Hi, Does anyone have a Kenwood mixer? I was at a shop today and they had the Kenwood Chef (4.6L) and the Kenwood Major (6.7L). I'm interested in the Kenwood Major as it was bigger (and more expensive). How would it compare to the Kitchenaid? There is no Kitchenaid here so I'm wondering...

Hi, I make an Afghan dish with eggplant a lot that we like to eat with Lebanese bread (Pita Bread). It's basically brush the eggplant slices (which have been presalted/washed) with olive oil (or vegetable oil) and cook them on really low on the stove so they cook through and go slightly...

Oops I forgot - Constance - what is Italian beef?

Hi, Thankyou for the well wishes :) I am very excited! And thanks for all the great ideas. Got lots to go on now. Katie - I'll check out the foodsaver machine. The extra batches whilst cooking sound great idea as does the memoboard idea. I always seem to forget what's in the back of the...

Thanks Andy. Are there any vegies that don't freeze well after cooking?

Hi, We're thinking to get a small freezer to freeze meals in (and stock and some vegies) because I am going to give birth in 2 months to our first baby. I thought freezing meals would be a good idea to start doing as the last month approaches (and I'm finding it hard to move) and also I can...

I would just leave it out as the vegeterian spring rolls just leave it out that I've had.

That definitely looks like something I would like :) I love apple desserts. Is it ok to use normal margarine or is there a substitute? It says to use firm but I don't think we have that here. Would butter be a substitute?

Thanks! :) I'll blanch it tomorrow and freeze it. I love broccoli so when I can get it fresh and cheap freezing would be a great option to do. I'll probably only do it for 2-3 minutes though because they are quite small and I don't want to overcook them (I use them a lot in stir fries where...

Hi, Thanks for the quick answer :) Is it possible to do it without blanching it? Does blanching help to preserve it? Just wondering :)

Hiya I can rarely get good broccoli here that doesn't cost the earth and I grabbed a few bags of it today for us since it was nice and fresh and cheap but since there is only two of us I was wondering if I could freeze one bag of it and would it wreck the flavour? I'm not talking of long term...

How much bleach do u use in water to clean a cutting board?

Hi, I'm not sure if non-Aussies will know what I am referring to but in Australia we have these deepfried things called cornjacks. They are basically creamed corn I think inside of a batter (like a seafood stick) deep fried. Here is a link with pictures and ingredients: Simplot - CHIKO...
