as an experinced chef i find your food to good and comfort, and enjoyable. a good selection of food

She explains well simple recipe and straightforward. tries all recipe no fail
Can anyone tell me what type of "cling film" she uses to bake pastry blind.
All of the ones I have tried have melted in the oven.
I had the same thing happen to me. I just use Baking Paper - works just as well ... Had an absolute disaster using cling and rice....
Her danish apple cake, is absolutely delicious. Every one enjoyed it, with cream and coffee.
Choc melting moments (cause I can't find them anywhere on the net, so I just copied it down from the TV)!!
Chocolate Melting Moments
125g soft butter
50g icing mixture
50g cornflour
25g cocoa
100g plain flour
Beat the butter with electric beaters until is it creamy.
Sift in all the other ingredients, and beat with beaters until it comes together in a soft dough.
Roll into balls, place on a baking tray, press down lightly with a fork. (You can put them VERY closely together because they do not spread. Make them as big or as small as you want. Should make about 22 biscuits)
Bake 170oC for 10-12 mins.
Allow to sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then place on a cooling rack.
Sandwich together with Nutella or Chocolate spread.
Try not to eat them all at once.
yey! finally have been looking for this recipe for over three years now, i saw it on television and then couldnt find it anywhere on the web! Thank you so much
Thank you so much for copying down the recipe I have been searcing everywhere for this recipe :)
Does anyone happen to know what actual breed Rachel's dog Buddy is??!! Myself and some friends were trying to work it out after looking through her book. if you know email me pls. hodgeysmail@yahoo.co.uk thanks
I emailed Ballymaloe to see if they knew coz it is so cute. Her PA said it is a rescue dog and they think it's a spaniel x bearded collie
Did you ever find out the breed of Rachel's dog? I have been trying to find out myself. At first I though it might be a soft-coated wheaten terrier, but it does not quite fit. A friend of mine suggested a Portuguese Water Dog, but the coloring isn't right.
desperately looking for receipes from breakfast, you did eggs muffins cereal etc,dawn e mail glendawn@futurenet.co.za

Found Rachels "light sweet scones" recipie on-line http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/607042
It's a little different to the one on last night, in that the reciie has cream of tatar which I don't remember her adding last night... I think she used 1 heaped tsp of bicarb PLUS 1 rounded tsp of bicarb. Just have to make 2 batches I guess & see which one works best! Beck.
