Brilliant, I just love these forums! I have only been on for a couple of weeks so far and I have probably learnt more useful and interesting stuff on the forums than I have in almost 37 years! BB x

I have bought my sister a curry cook book from Marks and Spencer, and am going to fill a basket with herbs and spices that are used in the recipes- any ideas where to get the best priced ones, and any other ideas I could fill the basket with?

If you are going to give her some whole spices and seeds, like coriander seeds, ginger, garlic etc, then a pestle and mortar would be a good idea, to grind the spices with! Even if you are not including these things, she can use it for future purchases of fresh ginger, garlic, seeds etc.

going to do dh's grandad (lives in norfolk), a "yorkshire" hamper. going to put in some hendersons relish, yorkshire pudding mix, yorkshire mixtures sweets and yorkshire tea teabags. good idea for anyone else from yorkshire who has family elsewhere in the country...
