Re: Recipes / Baking
Dry the grated courgette well before mixing in frittas or they end up a bit soggy!
Re: Recipes / Baking
I grate the potato and courgette together and then squeeze out the excess liquid over the sink, then dry in a tea towel.KB wrote:Dry the grated courgette well before mixing in frittas or they end up a bit soggy!
Re: Recipes / Baking
Broke up from work yesterday 
Sourdough starter and a poolish went on this morning. I make 90% of our bread as its my "thing" but sourdough and overnight ferments usually have to wait for the holidays as they're more time consuming.
I have a long list of things to do this holiday I wonder how many I will achieve

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad !
Re: Recipes / Baking
Just made Nigella's pear and ginger muffins and they smell lovely. They have fresh pear in them, do you think that they would freeze ie for lunch boxes next term, I need to get organised this year (more work etc).

Re: Recipes / Baking
Best to try freezing one of this batch and test it in a couple of weeks?
Pears have quite a high water content which doesn't always work so well with freezing if not cooking on defrosting.
Sound delicious

Just wanted to let you know
Had courgette, sweet potato and chorizo fritters for dinner tonight, with roasted cherry toms, wilted spinach beet (from garden) and a poached egg. Mr Yoyo is still going on about it, 3 hours later!

Help please. I'm sure I know the answer to this but I'm having brain melt and Google is not helping
Recipes both state light brown muscovado sugar. Is light brown soft sugar the same thing / interchangeable? One is a cake recipe and one a chutney recipe.

Re: Recipes / Baking
I think muscovado has more molasses in it than soft sugar. I use muscovado in my Boston beans recipe and it has a different depth of flavour I think. However, if I run out I do use normal light brown soft sugar. I think they will both work but the flavours might be a bit different.doodles wrote:Help please.

Re: Recipes / Baking
Thank you, its for a spiced apple cake and tomato chutney so should be fine- plenty of other flavours and i really don't want to go out.
