Questions

Freezing Gypsy Tart!
I'm just wondering if I can freeze a 'gypsy tart'
Made with evaporated milk.
Getting ahead with Roasted Vegetables
I would like to prepare ahead with the oven-roasted winter vegetables to go with the fillet of beef in pastry.
The recipe mentions the celeriac discolouring and to leave it until last. My question is, will the celeriac become discoloured if I prepare it the day before along with the other vegetables if they are all coated in herbs, garlic and olive oil, or do I need to delay cutting the celeriac until the day? Many thanks
Freezing Pistachio Sables
Can you freeze the Pistacho Sables and any instructions for when you want to eat them. Trying to get ahead for Christmas
Added the flour to the christmas pudding the day before
Hello! I added flour before soaking Christmas Pudding overnight. Do I need to start again?
Soaking fruits and feeding the cake
I use brandy to soak the dried fruit for the Christmas cake and then feed it with brandy. If I make a Dundee cake using whiskey do I then feed it with whiskey and if I use sherry to soak the dried fruit fora cake do I feed it with sherry? I am concerned that the sherry would make the cake too sweet?
