How long should I cook my homemade frozen fishcakes for?
I made them with Christmas leftovers - smoked salmon, mashed potato, a beaten egg and a tin of tuna. Made five, about half an inch thick, and 4 or 5 inches diameter.

I'm running out of ingredients to put it with in made-up dishes and…

Kenwood chef blender - help please
Hi I wonder if any experts out there can help. I have an old A701 and various attachments gathered from ebay. It probably needs a service to be honest. The problem I have is with the blender attachment - it's stopped working - when I turn it on, the blades spin - but maybe not quickly enough - they don't do the job anymore…

On the back it said "unsuitable for oven cooking". Not having a microwave (!), I stuck in my fan oven on a baking tray for 20…
