To salt or not to salt!

Asked on 3 Jul 2020 by Simon01

I made Delia's oven-roasted ratatouille last night (delicious) but I did not have time to prepare the courgettes and aubergine ahead of time as recommended. I must say it did not appear to affect the end recipe. Is this really still necessary?

Thank you. Eileen

Making chicken Basque with white rice...

Asked on 2 Jul 2020 by Jane Martin

Hi Lindsay,

Some recipes specify brown rice (e.g. Chicken Basque) which I'm not too keen on. Would I have to adjust the cooking time if I use white rice instead? I think it cooks more quickly.

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Jane
