I've just made three batches of chocolate brownies using those small-ish foil trays. I want to freeze two of the batches to stop my boyfriend guzzling it all straight away. Even if it is for his birthday. I guess I can just freeze it straight in the aluminium trays with a lid on top? Now the really thick bit- when we want to eat it, do we defrost and then put in the oven? or straight from...

I feel like a child again!! I've been baking fairy cakes. I guess because it reminds me of my grandma when i was younger... What do you enjoy baking- can you share any recipes?

Im always being told i dont eat enough, but i eat when i am hungry, and dont think ive any problems. But i ate tons today for lunch, probably not that good for me tbh, but i kinda linked this to my breakfast as i had a bowl of coco pops today, whereas i normally have a bowl of granola or fruit and fibre, and then wont eat a very big lunch. Which is better for me ?!

Whats your favourite munch when you're hanging? Healthy or grease? Usually I rock out the old favourite.... a full English fry up. Or sometimes I'll settle for a bacon sandwich, or a sausage and fried egg sandwich. Recently I've trying to eat healthier, but I still can't deal with the melon and shit for breakie. So scrambled egg on toast, with plenty of Ketchup is my current hangover cure...

Chocolate - Twirl Biscuite - Hobnobs Crisps - Onion Rings cake - chocolate cheese cake... What's yours?

:wave: We just got wind of this new campaign called 5by25: http://www.5by25.com/ The premise is to encourage people by the age of 25 to have mastered at least 5 dishes that they can cook from scratch. The website has a bunch of recipes as well as info on key skills like food storage, making gravy and chopping. I have to admit that I'm not much of a cook although when I have the time I...

Started making my own smoothies lately. Anyone else make their own? Any good combos? Any tips? I just use milk, fruit, yoghurt and chuck in some oats for good measure.

Hi. This started as a throw away comment between Helen and myself, but think maybe it's a good time to throw open the doors and lets share our loves and hates about Marmite. Interesting fact about Marmite, it contains a lot of Vitamin B12, therefore it has great mood and memory increasing properties......... Personally, I love it, my favourite mixes are Warm Boiled Egg and Marmite...

I could eat a cheese sandwich with brown sauce. Yum :->

I will let the video speak for itself here... Touch too much yeast I think. :lol:

I just bought a slow cooker after having an amazing veggie chilli on New Year's eve at my friend's house that she'd done in hers. Does anyone else use one? What do you make in it? Any favourite recipes? Or tips?

:wave: Even if you're not religious you might be giving up something for lent... Zoe, who did the expert nutrition chat a few weeks back just posted her tips for what to give up to benefit your health: http://www.nutri-stop.co.uk/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=33&Itemid=25 Anyone giving anything up? I might give up crisps... they are the one thing I know can't be good for me...

Anyone have a tried and tested one? There are sooo many online but im looking for something thats more like cake than bread, very sweet and light. Anyone have one?

Did anybody here watch The View From River Cottage? I thought it was the best food program on the box. Although the presenter, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, comes across as ab it of a tosser, I think he has an excellent attitude to food. The new series is called The River Cottage Treatment and everyweek involves teaching 'urbanites' where their food and in particular where their meat comes...

I'm looking to start up my new business, I'm about to write my business plan and sales forecast. I have an idea how much crepes I should sell a day, however I need a little reassurance that my prediction is correct. Would anyone know how many crepes (pancakes) will successful creperia sell a day or month? Or where I can get this kind of info?

I bet you can't think of a naturally blue food. :3 Have fun! Post it here if you know one.

I've just discovered what is potentially one of the most amazing food stuffs on the planet and felt the need to share. Cadburys Fabulous Fingers. They've got milk chocolate, and white chocolate, and biscuit. :yes:

I personally like chips with a full tin of beans poored on top as it goes all soggy hmm! I also like Beans on two slices of toast topped with grated cheddar hmmmmm! What is your favourite comfort/soggy food?

Okay I've been to many take aways and the pizzas have crappy cheese on them. The only take away I know that does good pizza is "Santa's Pizza". but I'm getting bored of pizza from there. I would buy from a supermarket or local store if I was craving for a pizza so bad but I'd like to try out new take away services that do good pizzas.

Okay first of all I guess you all have a toaster lol as one of my friends doesn't which shocked me a little when I went to his house one day asking if I could make some toast after a sleep over and he didn't even have a grill. I've also seen friends put slices of bread in the toaster vertically which is the wrong way to do it depending on the size of the of the slice of bread but my friends are...

Anybody else like cooking with chilis?
