    hmmm not sure about the soup for a week, like i say it depends on storage. What with the carrots etc
    My fridge is knackered (need a new one, really), so i know for a fact the veg soup would off within two days :(.

    ooooh you use 2 browsers! are you a web developer on the sly kez?

    My partner uses coding and is currently researching a browser for when he sets up his own business.
    I'm rubbish with PC's, i can use them fine but haven't tried using coding yet.
    We have both browsers as i hate adverts with a passion and on firefox if you go to add ons you can put an adblocker on.

    Oh and tip for when the kids grow up, firefox has lots of addons to stop them going on naughty sites ;).

    Keep the line!!!!!!!!!!

    No no keep the line as its help distinguish the recipe. My problem when i was more of a novice was starting a recipe then going carp where did that come from.
    The pages are very clearly set out so that anyone from novice to expert can go right i need this and that. Then crack straight on with the recipe.
    Only thing i think the recipes need are oven temperatures and times.

    Just clicked on the nutrition page, its says teaspoon of sugar but shows a bowlful.Could be confusing to someone who doesn't know how much 16g of sugar is.
    My em sister looked at the page and said we eat half as much sugar as that! She didn't even look at the written section.:o

    what internet browser you are using, and whether you can see a coloured line seperating ingredients from method, and if so what colour it is.

    Internet Explorer - yes, pale grey
    Firefox - yes, pale grey.

    Hi sorry was out on the lash last night so didn't get back to you. Will do Risi e bisi and Panzanella but it will have to be next week as I'm having mates over this week and my food's already planned.

    Hi Weezl, here are some typo type comments on a few recipes, hope its helpful:

    Apple Curd

    Put capital letter on “blitz”

    Change “seive” to “sieve”

    Full stop at end of “meal” in final line.



    Lunchtime Pate

    Being veggie, not sure if this is correct or not, but wouldn’t you say “pig’s liver” rather than “pig liver”?

    Add “of” between tablespoon and water

    Bean Pate

    Capital M for “make twice…”

    Nut butter

    Full stop required at end of method.

    Chicken and onion pie

    Take off full stop after end of chicken ingredient
    “pinch salt” is on the left hand side of page not under the other ingredients

    Onion tart
    Put in word “and” between flour and mustard powder
    Capital “S” for last line of method and full stop at end.

    Risi e bisi
    Change capital B to b for bacon in ingredients list

    Home made pizza
    Pepper and cheese ingredients aren’t aligned under rest of ingredients

    Bacon and Onion Pudding
    Capitalise start of sentence and full stop for last line of method.

    Pasta Alfredo
    Grana Padano rather than gran padano?
    400g pasta – method seems to impla that this should be pre-cooked?
    Make a roux – would people know how to do this?
