Questions
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

Steaming and serving the pudding on the day
Hi. Can I make the pudding mix a day head and steam it the day I will use it?
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
A delay in steaming the pudding
Dear Delia and Lindsey,
I have made a Christmas pudding batter … I kept it in the fridge for a day but wasn’t able to cook it today as planned … do you think it will be ok to cook tomorrow abput 38 hours after mixing ?
It had been refrigerated throughout the time . I know Gary Rhodes recommends keeping it raw in the fridge for a week… but what do you think ? many thanks , so appreciated !
