    "With regard to Queen Bee's comment about low fat/oil, I usually omit sauté for vegetables and just buzz everything into the stock and boil it. I don't sauté unless it's absolutely crucial for the final result, e.g. French Onion Soup, definitely needs the caramelisation process. Also try smoked paprika/powdered cumin/powdered coriander for a change from the curry powder. Quark instead of milk. Pumpkin (Invincible or Crown Prince) instead of squash (had a glut, still using after harvesting 3 months ago."

    "Brilliant comfort food. Use Sainsbury's Italian Hard Cheese instead of Parmesan to make it lacto-vegetarian, but it's a wonderful taste altogether. Love it. "

    "Hi, I have left mine in the tin in the fridge, and I intend to put a little whisky or rum on it over the next week. (Sorry if this is too late - I don't get back to this page very often!). I'll be taking the pud elsewhere to cook on the day, so will take the topping mix in a jar and the chopped nuts and cherries in another. The hosts can provide the cooking brandy!. Have a good time."

    "This is now made and in the fridge to mature. Very easy to put together, you just need to make sure you have everything, because once you start, you can't stop. Smells good, and baking instructions were fine, felt quite soft after the final 1.5 hours, but obviously set on cooling. Looks good, and I'm looking forward to it. I might try cooking it another time as individual muffin type puds. I just have to work out the baking time."
