Pasta sauce & soups (etc): what's best, canning or freezing?
What's best for storing pasta sauces, soups, and the like: home 'canning', or freezing? I'm thinking about both taste, and texture. Although home 'canned' sauces are faster to use, I'm assuming frozen ones can be melted fairly quickly in a saucepan?

Cream won't whip? Why?
Has anyone ever had this problem? I'm trying to make a dessert that needs to be ready in the next hour but my cream won't whip! I whip cream quite often - most of the time by hand. Anyway, it wasn't thickening up so I put it on the stand mixer to whisk but still nothing's happening. Could it be a bad batch? It's whipping…

HM Garlic pizza bread
I tried making some homemade garlic pizza bread yesterday, but the base was a little bit undercooked (the edges were fine). My tribe devoured the lot, but I was hoping for some tips on how to perfect it as this was a dry run before I make some for a dinner party tomorrow with the remaining flour. I don't have a breadmaker…

The receipe is asking to use milk powder - and as it's only for 1/2tbsp I really don't want to have to go and buy some…
