I dont have any.:} ALL mine are EXACTLY as per the recipe. I've never experimented by changing ingredients in my life. The purists would have a field day if I did, especially if I called it something else.:}

good for you! i had a boyfriend who hated courgettes. even tho he had never eaten them.
I sliced them, cooked them, and called them "flat peas" and he ate the lot. Then I told him what I had done, and he said he still hated them

I thicken sloppy hot fruit with custard powder before putting the crumble topping on. Edited to add.and freeze left over bean/chick pea casseroles, blend them when thawed and make burgers with added semolina or breadcrumbs (and anything in the fridge clean out)

Last night I made a rissotto, and I didn't put any wine in it. We are not wine drinkers - there is no wine in the house. I don't see the need to buy a bottle of wine just for a dish that I make occasionally. I made a wine-less rissotto and nobody whined about it.

Sometimes, I don't even use a book. Sometimes I put a whole heap of leftovers onto some flattened dough without yeast and call it a pizza.

Sometimes those leftovers include kumera which isn't even Italian and I still call it pizza. AND sometimes I don't spell stuff right. Am I to be chastised!

Only if you make yeast pizza dough and not the genuine scone base that we true impurists use.

My dear old Dad,a life long hater of celery always had second helpings of my kumara and celery soup(a Digby Law recipe).He never asked and I never told him what was in it,my mother used to get all lemon-lipped over that as she could never slip any celery past him. I love this thread!

I'm realising that it's the first thread I've ever felt really 'safe' in ;)
