Making double Risotto Carbonara
Carbonara risotto
Hi Lindsey
I made the carbonara risotto this evening and it is simply superb
If I wanted to make say double the portion for a dinner party, is it simply a case of doubling all ingredients? Cooking for same length of time etc? Or are there any tweaks I need to make?
Kind regards
Rob
Shortcrust pastry is breaking
Hello Lindsey, I am trying to bake the English Apple Pie and I have two questions: could I use rice flour for a gluten free version (for friends)? Also I’m following the recipe to the letter and even when using normal flour, when I roll the pastry it breaks. Could I use Atora’s vegetable suet instead of lard and butter to make it more workable? I live in France and have been using the butter brand president gastronomique 82% fat and wonder if this is the problem? The lard shouldn’t be the issue as it would be the same as I’d buy back home in the UK.
3lb loaf tin Christmas Cake
Hello. I am just thinking about making Christmas cakes. We normally opt for Delia's traditional fruitcake recipe for either 9inch round or 8 inch square size. However I am thinking of switching to a 3lb loaf tin this year. Can you give advice re: how we should adjust the mixture and cooking to time to accommodate this please. I have seen advice for a 2lb loaf tin - but not 3lb!
