Using a Spherical Pudding Basin

Asked on 14 Dec 2018 by Sarah

Hi Lindsey,

I am making the 'How to Cheat' Christmas Pudding and I would like to use the Alan Silverwood 6 inch mould. Would Delia's recipe be sufficient for this size mould or would I need to adjust the quantities? Any tips on using this spherical mould - before packing in the ingredients, during cooking, or after it's cooked and releasing it from the mould?
Thank you, Lindsey!

Fat in the sausage rolls

Asked on 14 Dec 2018 by Danbo

Hi Lindsey

I made Delia's recipe for Etty's sausage rolls and cooked some straight away but open froze the rest. When cooking I noticed there was a lot more fat coming out of the frozen rolls.
Do you have any idea why this might be?
Thanks

Freezing Chocolat Soufflé Cake

Asked on 14 Dec 2018 by LYNNETTE KYME

Hi, I am going to make Delia's chocolate soufflé cake with prunes, and want to freeze it ready for Christmas Eve. Can you advise best way to defrost the cake and how soon to take it out the freezer to eat it for supper in the evening? Also, I note it says you can freeze the sauce - does that include the creme fraiche, or should you swirl that in at the last moment? Thanks for your help.
