Questions
Making Boeuf en Croute ahead
Hi Lindsay,
I hope to make Beef en route for Christmas Day. You say it can be kept in fridge for several days beforehand
But I shall be using commercial puff pastry. Will that keep and no dry up?
Thank you.Jillie
Sticky Toffee Tray Bake
For the little sticky toffee puddings can I make this in a large tray or is the mixture too soft and has to be done in the individual moulds?
Thank you
Slow cooker red cabbage
Would Delia use a slow-cooker today to make her wonderful Xmas Red Cabbage recipe,which I have been making for donkeys years.
Making the nut roast ahead
I make the macadamia nut roast every Christmas. Can it be made in advance (eg 23rd) and heated on 25th? Or should I bake it and freeze it? I’m at work Christmas Day and would prefer to prep everything before. Thanks
Allumette Accuracy
I’ve just made the Gruyère and Parmesan Allumettes.
If you follow the measurements given, the recipe will make 120 Allumettes, but at the top of the recipe it says ‘makes 80’.
Have I misunderstood something?
Cooking the sprouts with chestnuts
Can the sprouts and chestnuts recipe be prepped in advance and then just heated or finished with good results? Thanks
