I have used both.
The granules look like fine salt, the powder looks like flour.0 -

You can buy it in the CoOp for about 85p a jar.0 -

Last night I cooked 3 dishes, salt & pepper chilli chicken wings - honey soy chicken wings (used thighs) and buffalo wings.
I have never cooked chicken wings before, they don't have enough meat on them imo.
Again, after last weeks lamb donner, I didn't know what they 'should' taste of, so can't compare with shop bought, didn't really enjoy any of these either.
Its fair to say that I don't eat takeaway food other than a curry or Indian sometimes, that's at a push.
DH grandmother was Chinese & his mother born in Burma brought up in India, so he cooks proper foods from these places. If we are feeling lazy we'll get a take out.
I got swept along with the good tales of this book and will try as many of the recipes as I can, its just because its food I don't know & eat its difficult to compare taste.
I'll start on the Chinese or Indian next week, then I'll really be able to judge & DH will certainly compare...................LOL!
I've begun to tick next to the recipes I've tried and marking them out of 10, so I'll know which ones to go back to in the future.
Its a great little money saving book for those that do eat take outs, also you know what you are putting into the food.
Happy cooking and keep letting us all into your favs.

I haven't made the egg muffins but when DH wanted a BK style cheese and bacon burger, I used the value singles from Mr T. They were apparently spot on and only about 50p per pack! :money:0 -

may I say that there is a lot of rubbish about deep fat frying being unhealthy! if you get the temperature right then the food is sealed with the heat of the oil, and it DOESNT contain a lot of fat!
Stir frying - which is supposed to be healthy - means you get that tablespoon of oil incorporated in your food - deep fat frying means that your food should be sealed the second it hits the oil! and excess oil shaken off or drained onto kitchen roll.0
