Nigella's Way

 

Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to

prevent ice-cream drips.

 

 

The Real Woman's Way

 

Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Goodness

sake. You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it

anyway.

To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the

potatoes.

When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of

the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Tescos' sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.

 

 

Nigella's Way

 

If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop

in a potato slice.

If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's tough!. Please

recite with me the Real Woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."

 

 

Nigella's Way

 

Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it

will keep for weeks.

It could keep forever. Who eats it?

ounces of vodka Drink the vodka. You might still have the headache, but you won't care!

If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing

gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Are you seriously trying to suggest that Nigella isnt a real woman hallllooooooooooooo LOL:D

[Bookworm]

That woman would put people off for food for life, licking her fingers and then dipping them in again, long black hair trailing everywhere, urggghhhh. :-|

[Lula]

Well I think she is really sexy and I am not that way inclined :D

[dave]

She is quite sexy, but bugger having to meet the father-in-law - surely that would put anyone off their food!

PS.Does that actually work?

[Lula]

I have noticed this a lot with Chefs on these programes. They break all of the Hygiene regulations, wearing Jewellery, watches, no hair nets etc..

 

Aparantly the Apple thing works Dave, there are a few more hints and tips here:

Why doesn't it work on a hot pot, which is covered by sliced potatoes?

Personally, I don't use salt in my cooking because of the children (even though it does make a difference).

.....hand washing, chopping boards, the same knife for everything.....

[Lula]

and do you hear of any of them being ill? nope

[Castlebest]

Did our parents and grand parents get ill when they used the same knife for everything, or only wiped down the chopping board during the same meal, in fact I dont think an old fasioned wooden chopping board would survive long under modern health and safety regulations

 

Undoubtably there is cause for concern when dealing with cooked and raw meats and care should be taken but I do think it can be taken too far

[Bookworm]

Did our parents and grand parents get ill when they used the same knife for everything,

Seeing the amount of gastro-intestinal diseases than ran rife throughout the centuries, I'd say yes, beyond a doubt, actually.

[Guest louis wu]

plus we do live longer now, surely food hygene has a part to play in that.

 

I do concede, however, that a too sterile environment is NOT good for our immune system in the long run. That said, I doubt if anyoe lives in a 'germ' free environment.

[Lula]

How many times on "How Clean is your house" have you seen really filthy disgusting houses and the people are never sick. well apart from astmatics who tend to suffer

 

I agree, it is good to be clean, but too sterile is not good at all

[Rooster-UK]

Delia Smith is doing rather well with her "How to Cheat at Cooking" seies, isn't she?

 

From BBC News....

 

Campaigners have attacked TV chef Delia Smith over high levels of salt in some recipes in her new book and series "How to Cheat at Cooking".

Consensus Action on Salt and Health (Cash) identifies recipes including "carbonara real quick", containing more than 7g of salt per person. The recommended daily limit for an adult is 6g.

Ha ha ha - that's funny.

 

The food Nazis can't make their minds up - one minute it's no eggs, no salt, I expect bread will be bad for us soon.

[Bookworm]

Bread is bad for you, Dave. I'm not going to bore you with the details, but if people gave up bread and bread-derived products, I think you'd find that an awful lot of them would find a lot of their gut problems disappear. As a species, we haven't evolved sufficiently to cope with grain, we are still meat and berries eaters, I'm afraid.

[Fred Bassett]

Well to be honest, I read a thread that included the words "Nigella", "throbbing" and "latex" and I thought I was in the wrong place. Really! Nigella, what a woman!
