Can I use oil instead of butter in Breadmaker?
SORRY - I know there has been chat about this before, but I just can't find it! have just got my brand new Panasonic, I am v v excited! My only concern was the big lump of butter the recipe called for, and I'm sure I read somewhere that you can use olive oil instead? Can anyone tell me if that is possible, and if so how…
My months shopping list
I've had a few people on other threads again asking me how do I possibly feed 3 people on £45 a month so I thought I would give you my shopping list. I had this lot delivered from Tesco today and I will go back there twice a week in the next month to stock up on fruit, vegetables, bread and milk. 2 Tesco Diced Chicken -…

"The guide is the result of exhaustive tasting and analysis of over 2000 food and drink products from the 10…
Bread Making Tools
Hi - a couple of questions: 1 - does anyone know of a good place to get baking tins? I'm after a loaf tin with straight as opposed to sloping sides, so I get a square base. I've looked on Ebay and searched on Google with no success. 2 - what is the best tool for making slashes in dough. Would a small serrated knife be best…

Then I thought "I can probably fix this using some OS know-how". So, has anyone got any bright ideas? I've…

Greengages
I absolutely love greengages and up until last year, every time they were in season Sainsburys always sold them loose. Last year they didn't get them because the manager said they weren't a popular line. I was wondering if you can grow them?- I looked in my local nursery and they only had regular plum trees. For this year…
