So glad this thread appeared, and if its not too much work Zippy a list at the top sounds ace!

Anyhow, onto my question, I have a cucumber to use up, and as its dancing on ice sunday tomorrow, I have made cheese straws, and wanted to make some tzatziki dip type thing, but have no greek yoghurt, would mayo do?
cheers
Jex

mayo can be quite sickly in a dip

do you have any cream, philadelphia, or bio yoghurts in the fridge?

if you have cream, id be tempted to whip it up and add some lemon juice to make a basic sour cream

or water down philadelphia with some milk

or make yogurt overnight with some warm milk and bio

So in theory you could try it all mayonaisse.....

What about something like this?

Can you try mayo and salad cream combined?

I just happen to have been here long enough to know what's really important to Old Stylers :beer:

I make a popular pasta sauce with ground pork, carrot, onions, and tinned tomatoes. You can substitute pork for ground turkey and carrot for grated pumpkin :j

How did you get on Jexygirl? I must start working on that listy today.

You can replace fresh herbs with dry, but try to use half as much as they tend to be twice as strong. This one has saved me going to the shop soooo many times!

If you run out of eggs when making a cake, one tablespoon of vinegar can replace one egg!

Brilliant. Now for the important question - do you taste the vinegar?:) I can't understand how that would work!

I have never cooked liver before and wondered if anyone could help me....
I'd like to replace the chicken breast in a recipe with chicken liver but have a couple of questions. Do I need to use more or less chicken liver than chicken breast or the same amount? Also, will I need to cook the liver for the same amount of time as the breast?
I am cooking a sort of stroganoff tonight with wine, cream, mushrooms and leeks but if successful would like to use livers in chicken curries etc too. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for your help!
