A simple Fresh Pasta Dish ( Aglio e Olio ). When cooking fresh pasta, it should be cooked until 'al dente' meaning 'to the tooth'. It should be just tender not at all raw or soft and gluggy. This simple recipe is with just cooked pasta - coat immediately with a dressing of crushed garlic, extra virgin oil and plenty of finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley. Quanities to suit to taste. That is it - a very simple quickest of dishes yet most satisfying meals imagineable. Cheers. One can add if wish a little chooped cold meats of choice or small can of salmon but the basic dish is sufficient.

Another Very helpful hint re fudge making. Have some white chocolate pieces handy stored in the pantry. If the fudge comes out a bit soft or not setting as one wishes, then reheat in microwave until quite hot, mix in say at least 1/2 cup of white choc, stir until all has melted and blended then beat a little and pour into prepared tin. Cool, cut into pices then allow to completely set.

To make home made Condensed Milk. Put 1/2c boiling water into a blender, then add 1c milk powder, 2/3c sugar, 3 tbsp melted butter and a few drops of vanilla essence. Cover and blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.

Valentino, you HAVE been busy well done. This is brianmac, using my business username! We got our first product delivered yesterday,so while our website is being done, I have put a few things up for sale. We stock Mastrad,Faringdon,Typhoon,Maso-
n Cash,Ladelle tea towels and aprons, Rushbrooks aprons,Hot house range of tea-towels,Tovolo etc -only three boxes came,so only a small range at the moment.

valentino, Mar 8, 11:13pm
Thank you brianmac. Just adding some helpful hints and ideas. Great when it is very simple, easy and readily available. Will continously be watchful and browse your new venture as you build. Cheers.

To the " cookessentials " listings. Liked the idea of pie weights, I'm a huge fan in cooking pies, quiches, cheesecakes etc etc bases blind and instead of using paper and rice or baking beads, these pie weights would work far better, Very good utensil to buy. Also the Icing set - notel metal nozzles, great and the piping bag is the only way to go, hence another great but for those into baking nice cakes and desserts. Great stuff, brianmac for all to have in their kitchen. Cheers.

valentino, Mar 9, 12:21am
Sorry about a couple of typo errors, I'm a one finger typist and sometimes I push too hard ot too soft or too big a finger going across twoi keys . Anyway, Piping whipped cream on desserts is great in presentation or adding dollops / knobs of cream then adding say a piece of fruit or choc button to finish off is great. Also to nice drinks, sundaes, special iced drinks, so on, so on,etc.Hence that piping set you are selling is a must in more ways than one thinks. Needed to add this. Cheers.

Thanks Valentino I will also be getting cake testers which are better than poking your cake with the end of a knife (like I do lol) aprons, tea-towels,some lovely Mason Cash stuff (there is a new range) and the latest trend overseas is the "Emma Bridgewater" range of proper air-tight cake tins - I have ordered a good range of these -square cake tins, sets of three round and also biscuit barrels -all with a good air-tight seal.

valentino, Mar 9, 5:09am
Soundsvery idealistic.( the cake tins ). especially for those who bake a few at a time and then store them for use by their family over the ensuing days. And I should imagine those testers would go hand in hand with the cake tins and for those wishing to have the ideal cooked times. Great things are coming Folks, by the look of things. Well done brianmac - cookessentials ( had to double check the spelling of the business name. Think it is better to copy and paste that name),. (hint). Cheers for now.

valentino, Mar 14, 8:38pm
Could someone please tell me why Post No 101 Was Removed. Was something stareting with. " Bumping, instead of bumping place a hint." something like that anyway. Be nice to know if something was wrong. Until then . No more. Cheers

jen92, Mar 14, 8:47pm
Oh no, hope you don't cease posting your wonderful cooking and baking wisdom on here Valentino!I have no idea why your post @ 101 was voted off!Maybe it contained contact details of some sort, then TM does it automatically (I think).

jen92, Mar 14, 8:48pm
BTW Valentino. I don't know where that Milkshake thread went, but I wanted to ask you what you meant by using "old milk"!
