Questions
Getting ahead with Chocolate Prune and Armagnac Cake
Can you make this ahead or is it better eaten on the day it's baked?
Making a larger batch of scones
Hi I love the plain scones recipe which makes 12, but I need to make 36 scones this weekend for a family afternoon tea - is it best to make several batches of 12 and bake as I go, or can I just scale up and mix 3 x the recipe in 1 go? Thanks for any tips
Gluten Free Cheesecake!
Re. today's Cake of the Week. I want to make this as a gift for an exhausted friend. Is it gluten free, please?
Round cake in square tins!
I am frequently asked to bake cakes for occasions where 1 slice will be served per person. A square cake would be easier to cut and serve so how do I amend the recipe for instance from a 20cm round (Blueberry & Pecan muffin cake star of the moment!).
Can you change a tart from round to square too?
Thank you for making me look good but baking is so easy now! The benefits of retirement.
regards Linda
Christmas is not just for Chirstmas!
just feedback: I wanted to share as it made me smile. Delia's Christmas book was bought & hammered by me sometime late 80s / 90s... then I moved to NZ & we don't have Turkey etc anymore on Christmas Day. This year I'm having Mid-Winter Christmas at mine on 17th July... Delia's back out! And after posting a picture of my pud with Delia's book in the background half my friends have weighed in on their favourite Delia Christmas recipes! Several are raving about the Parmesan Parsnips... I've never done them... probably will on the 17th!
Vanilla Cream desserts
Can I make individual vanilla cream terrines?
