    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!!!!!!

    I enjoy this show but is anyone else a bit concerned about the amount of salt she uses?

    • Loretta11

      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.

    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.
