Questions
Simnel in a loaf tin
I would like to make a smaller simnel cake. Do you think doing half of Delia's recipe in a silverwood loaf lin, capacity 1 litre would work? Should I use 2 eggs and how long will it take to cook? Many thanks.
Making shortcrust vegetarian....
Hi Lindsey,
What can I use instead of lard for the Asparagus and Cheese Tart pastry as I am cooking for a vegetarian.
Freezing Watercress Soup
Hi, can you freeze watercress soup after you've put creme fraiche in it?
Thanks,
Gary.
For the non-vegetarians
Hello Lindsey for the family visiting over Easter, who are Vegetarians, I am making the following from Delia's Vegetarian Collection:
Gratin of Rigodoni with Roasted Vegetables (P96)
Soba Noodles with Soy and Citrus Dressing (P115)
Roasted Vegetable Couscous Salad with Harissa style Dressing (P 122)
Can you suggest either a chicken or fish recipe I could include with these for the non-vegetarians who woulds feel short changed.
Regards.
Eileen
Hot Cross Buns without the egg
Hello from Oz! I love Delia’s recipes, particularly the cakes that I can adapt for gluten free. For this hot cross bun recipe, I have to omit the egg (allergic), do I need to add an egg substitute? Many thanks, Julie
