Nigel Slater cookbooks
I was recently given a Nigel Slater kitchen diaries cookbook and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to order the others in the series but I've had a look online and I'm completely confused as to how many books are in the series and what the correct covers are.

Tips for knowing when you need to re-stock on household essentials
I saw on Facebook recently a post where someone suggested buying three bottles of washing up liquid at a time (green, yellow and red) and always using them in that order, so you knew you needed to restock when you were on the red bottle. I can't find the FB version now but here's the same idea on TikTok: Source:…

Simple healthy food plan for one
Hi, I live on my own and have done for twenty years now, I work full time, generally don't have the time or motivation to spend a lot of time cooking. I also suffer with depression and anxiety so when I have bad days I often end up just eating toast for my tea. I used to virtually live on ready meals but I have stopped…

Weekly Flylady Thread 17 June 2024
Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary.

We normally shop at Aldi for the majority of our food but go to farmfoods and home bargains for the bits we can’t get in Aldi. I go weekly and spend about…

Tasty eggs... WHERE??
Ok, now I know they still exist... the tasty eggs I remember from my childhood days. Just arrived back from a short break in a hotel on the south coast where they served these: yolks far more golden, creamy and above all with a MUCH greater depth of flavour than the junk I've been buying in supermarkets these last 40…

Ma Made marmalade hacks
Not sure 'hacks' is the right word but can anyone recommend any tasty ways of making marmalade with Ma Made? I have three tins but find the basic marmalade it makes to be a bit non descript. Personally I prefer the bitter 'oxford-style' myself but if it's possible to add lemon or lime peel that would be good. I've seen…
