    I have some new potatoes that need using up but we won't be able to use them in time.

    I am going to cook (boil) them today and keep some in the fridge to fry up over the next couple of days (yummy!) but can I freeze some or will they go nasty?

    Many thanks :)

    Can I freeze birthday cake? - it is chocolate with thick icing and a butter cream filling. We've got loads left and I've already given some to the neighbors!

  • Hi
    I know you are not supposed to freeze foods which have already been frozen, but does this apply to herbs?

    Trying to be very money saving i bought some carrots that were reduced in tesco's and intended to make carrot & corriader soup - the plan being to split it into portions and freeze for lunch at work. I already had some chopped corriader in the freezer. I made the soup - adding the corriader - and made enough for lunches for the next week. Someone said that as the corriander was already frozen i should not have added it to the soup and froze again.

    any thoughts, i am in for a dose of samomella!
