Love this show. On a recent epsidoe she made a pureed green apple & maple syrup salad dressing to go over salad greens. Anyone have that recipe? !!
She is cool and the style is great, hope she is going to be for a lot longer, learning lots
Anne - Did not get to see the episode for your 'light as a cloud' gnocchi. In the recipe you say "5 large potatoes". What actual weight is that? Er, how long is a piece of string? For gnocchi, the ratio of potatoes to flour is SO critical, so would love to know. PS Did any fans catch this episode and actually weigh out the spuds??
Anne you are amazing. I am totally in love with your style of cooking and finally have found a chef who is not afraid to use salt. You also use everyday ingredients, the sort that most people have in their pantry and freezer. You share great tips and make cooking fun. My whole family adore you especially my sons. I can't get enough of you. Keep on cooking!!!!!!
Ann you are sooooo fun to watch. And that whole browning food is so new for me.. I am doing lamb shanks for my family tonight and browning th ... out of everything...he he. Not burning it though.
I love watching her cooking show, makes everything look easy
she is an excellent chef very down to earth
I enjoy this show but is anyone else a bit concerned about the amount of salt she uses?
Best to add it to cooking rather than at the table. Not enough salt in your diet can be more unhealthy than too much. I know this as a very close friends organs nearly shut down from lack of salt. He now makes sure he uses salt and realises how much better his food tastes because of it
She does use a lot of salt but having worked in a restaurants myself can tell you that all chefs do. When cooking at home I either halve or quarter the amount given, the food still tastes just as good.
I started watching this show a few weeks ago and now I am totally hooked. I love the way Anne talks to her food and she gets me really interested in what she is cooking.Thanks heaps.
She's a keeper
just like jamie oliver you have flair and an unmistaken love of food that anyone can see. Your love of food is very contagious and i am sorry and have not fonud you, sooner. G-d bless you Anne I am starting with the pork ribi roast with apple cider thanks again Anne

KR94, 1 stick of butter = 112-113g according to Online Cooking Conversion. I made it last week and was very glad I did.
Hi My children and I are your BIGGEST fans, we love your style and passion. THANK YOU
My 2 children and myself love your show. Thank you
I love her show, explains everything. the apple tart tartin looks amazing. How many ounces or grams is 1 stick of butter. I am from Australia, we dont use sticks. Great show Anne
one stick of butter is approx. 114grams. American butter comes in packets of 2 sticks which weighs 8oz imperial weight which is 226.8grams hope that helps you
112-113g equals 1 stick of butter
she is the best. so entertaining
it show things i never know before
great show, awesome presenter. Nice tips Anne, thanks very much! BTW there is a substitute for full cream and butter in mashed potatoes - EGGS!!!!!!! Just crack an egg into the moulied potatoes & mix gently. Lots of yummy richness from the egg yolk & a nice softness from the whites. Give it a try!
This show is growing on me... I have actually learned one or two things from Anne. She seems to have a natural simple way of explaining things.
