Questions
Freezing Ginger Biscuits
Can I freeze Delias Ginger Biscuits? If so, how best to pack.
Loaf tin liner solutions!
Where can I get the right sized parchment paper liner for the loaf tin as shown on the Marmalade cake recipe please? It looks like it fits perfectly. My loaf tin is the recommended Delia one from Silverwood. Thank you.
Where did I go wrong making mayonnaise?
Hi Lindsey, I've just tried to make Delia's mayonnaise and failed spectacularly. The mayo is thin and separated, and it tastes awful even though I used exactly the ingredients in the recipe. Also, it took way longer than the suggested 15 minutes, it was more like 45. The oil tasted awful as well. Where did I go wrong and how can I do it better next time?? Thank you for you help Tessa
Sole without alcohol!
Hello Lindsey. I have Dover Sole which I want to cook for 4 at the weeklend but I cannot find a single Delia recipe that does not include alcohol. Can you suggest one that I could tweak without compromising the flavour?
Thank you.

Seville Oranges in Spain
Hi, l am living in Spain and have tried buying Seville oranges. We have just completed a trip from Murcia to Portugal. No luck with the oranges. In most places we were told the only place to get the oranges is from the trees on the streets, even in Seville. We were reluctant to try and pick them. Seeing you recent recipe for the marmalade made me wonder, how do you find the oranges? Look forward to your response.
Kind regards
Joan
