Questions
The sauce for gingerbread puddings
I want to make the sticky gingerbread puddings with ginger wine and brandy sauce. Could you please tell me if I can make the source ahead of time and refrigerate it?
If possible, I would like to make it a day or two ahead of serving
A missing ingredient in Chocolate Nut Christmas cake
I’ve just made the Italian Chocolate Nut Christmas cake but forgot to add the 25g of melted butter. How will this affect the cake?
Can I make the Thai Salmon Parcles ahead
Re Thai Filo Salmon Parcels - how far ahead do you think the parcels can be made before cooking them without risking going soggy etc? I'm doing for Christmas dinner (but eating Christmas eve) but have people here for drinks first. I'd prefer to have them ready to go in the oven beforehand but worried about them sitting for 2-hours. Any advice? Thanks

Thank you
Chicken Basque a different way
Hi Lindsey, I am making Chicken Basque for friends but I don’t know if they all eat rice. Would it work the same if I cooked the rice separately and served it on its own? If so would I have to cut back on the liquid?
Thanks ….. Glenys
