Questions
The butter in Hollandaise Sauce
HOLLANDAISE. SAUCE
The recipe doesn’t say whether to use salted or unsalted butter. Which is better, or doesn’t it matter?
Double Chocolate Brownies!
RE: BRAZIL NUT BROWNIES
Hi Lindsey, my daughter can’t eat nuts, can I swap the nuts for chunks of chocolate and if so, would I use the same quantity? Thanks again for website- the ‘recipe of the day’ is encouraging me to try new dishes with confidence. Thanks again Astbury.
Making breadcrumbs
Hello, could you please tell me how to make breadcrumbs? Do I use stale bread or fresh and how do I store them and for how long please?
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but hope you can help.
Many thanks

Advice please, Lucy
After years of buying unwaxed citrus fruit for zesting I read the small print on the label -'protected with Imazalil, Pyrimethanil ,
2-Phenylphenol' - last week. All have a negative write up on internet and certainly sound best avoided.
Is searching for organic fruit the only safe option?
I would add I'm not super health conscious and have reached 82 fairly unscathed.
Many thanks, Ann
About Delia's Sponge Cake
I have watched the video on how to bake a sponge cake but would like some clarifications.
My oven has 5 levels separated by a gap between level 2 and 3. Should I use level 3 or 2?
Delia recommends a temperature of 170° but doesn't mention which setting: "fan" or "static top & bottom" or "static bottom only". Which one is best?
I intend to use a silicone mould. Does it make a difference, do you have any special advice?
Kind Regards
