    If anyone's interested, there's a preview available on Amazon now with a couple of recipes and the full index.

    No milk tart, but many many other things I want to make, please someone talk me out of buying it.

    Hello

    My book arrived from Amazon today. Looking through it just now for the milk tart.
    So little money - so much time :mad:

    Theres a recipe for a Manchester tart and a buttermilk pie - can't see anything about a milk tart though. I haven't seen yesterdays programme yet though.

    Can't wait to try some of the recipes out. Looks very yummy.

  • I made the Barrovian Love Sponge cake from the second episode for my wife to take to work for her birthday. I'm very much a novice baker, but I found the recipe straightforward, and the result was light, fluffy, and apparently amazingly good.

    The recipe is available on the web site here.

    Regards,

    My book arrived today. Only annoying thing is I can't help reading it in a Jordy accent and I can hear Si and Daves voices in my head.:rotfl::confused:

    Just me? It is a lovely wee book - i had forgot about the crumpets so would be keen to try those. Well worth the tenner IMO.

    Sorry if anyone wanted talked out of buying it - I have probably achieved the opposite!
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    I made the sweet & sour tonight (with chicken instead of pork).

    It was lovely, really authenic.

    Next time I do it I will cut the chicken in smaller bits, & I added chopped peppers & carrots because I like them in it.

    Even my MIL has got excited by this series, and she has bought the book :rotfl:
    I'm going to have a look at hers before I decide whether to get it.

    Even my DH likes watching these two - and he normally hates cooking programmes! In fact we all watch it - they are just so entertaining to watch.

    I doubt I'll be getting the book though - there always make so many 'meaty' recipes.
