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. It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all
need and to make the whole task easier and quicker. We also accept…

Slow Cooked Tuscan Inspired Stew
Long shot, but I recently had the Sainsbury Taste the Difference Slow Cooked Tuscan Inspired Pork Stew. It was so delicious that I'd love to find a copy-cat recipe, although ideally vegan or at least vegetarian. I've found a few recipes online, but I don't think they will have the sweetness that this one had. These are the…

Freezing focaccia
I have started to make focaccia, but all the recipes make way too much for a singleton. When I make ordinary bread I bake it then slice it up when it has cooled and put it in the freezer so I can pull out a slice or two at a time. I could do the same with focaccia except that I want to put toppings on it. I’ve seen…

Ways to use out of date cheap "British" wine
Would be glad of any suggestions for using unwanted wine that doesn't involve drinking or cooking with it! About nine months ago I won a bottle of Rose wine as a prize in a pub quiz. I don't really like drinking wine and so the bottle got forgotten about. The trouble is the wine is "British" wine, made with imported grape…

How to cook for others?
Probably totally the wrong place to post as its neither "old style" nor "moneysaving" but its the closest I can find. Like cooking... like trying new things with cooking... its hard to do that when its just the Mrs and yourself especially as you then are having to deal with dietary requirements etc. So a while back looked…

What's the opposite of "HYGGE" for summer and heat waves and openness? signs of spring?
I prepared for winter with cosy vibes, candles and blankets, holding in warmth and feeling content. now I want to look forward to spring and summer, the breeze, evenings spent out doors and windows open with the scent of flowers . so, I am checking my seed boxes, searching for net curtains in charity shops to put in place…
