Can the steaming wait?

Asked on 19 Oct 2018 by Rosie

Hi. I have made my traditional Christmas pudding but have yet to steam them (finding 8 hours) - can I keep the puddings to steam at a later date? Do they keep “in-steamed”?

About the Muffin Tin

Asked on 18 Oct 2018 by basketpam

In reviewing the recipe for the Damson and Cinnamon Muffins I have one question regarding size. I see it states 6 large muffins. Would these be large muffins baked in normal standard muffin 12-count cupcake tins or are these large muffins using the extra large 6-count muffin or cupcake tins as sold by Wilton for example. I just need to know which ones to use as plenty of standard muffin tins are in the kitchen but the 6-count are in a bin in storage as I don't use these very often. Just imagine the giant cupcake pan which bakes at least 6-inches in diameter.

Following up on Vegetarian Mincemeat

Asked on 18 Oct 2018 by Rowan Bartlett

Hi Lindsey, not a question, juts a follow up. i wrote to you about the vegetarian mincemeat recipe. i did find my written copy but decided to buy the Complete Illustrated Cookery Course, Classic Edition on Amazon so i'd have the recipe in a book form. well, the first version that arrived was missing about ten pages and would you believe it, page 559 was one of the missing ones. I think it went from about 542 - 563. the Leftovers section was in there twice. what are the chances!!!! Amazon sent another copy and that one was fine. Lots of new recipes for me to try.
