Red Cabbage with Cranberries
I've cooked Delia's braised red cabbage with apples - delicious. Can I substitute cranberries, and can I cook it faster at a higher gas number to save on energy?
No cheese!
Why is Gratin Dauphine so called as it foes not appear to contain cheese?
Alcohol-free chocolate trifle
Hello again Lindsey. I always make Delia's Cheat's Chocolate Trifle over Christmas, but this year my daughter-in-law is expecting a baby (our first grandchild!) and is avoiding alcohol.
What would you suggest I use as a non-alcoholic substitute to soak the cherries?
Thank you - last query, I hope!
Regards.
