"If you think cutting biscuits off of a frozen roll of dough is too hard to do simply cut out your dough into biscuit shapes before freezing, open-freeze them on clingfilm-lined trays until hard, then transfer into a freezer bag for a bag of instant raw cookies that you can dip into. You can take out 2 or 20 or how many you need at one time (depending how many you made to start with of course - and assuming they didn't get baked and eaten straight away!!!)"

"I use my slow cooker for stews which is a 6.5l one so I tend to expand the ingredients to fit the pot! I also tend to use a greater variety of veg, but that's just personal preference. I did have to double the liquid ingredients because of the size of my slow cooker but the result was absolutely delicious - though in this house there is a riot if I don't make dumplings, so I'm afraid I didn't make the topping as listed here."

"I cheated a bit (sorry, Ainsley!). I make risotto a lot so I used my usual base of onion, garlic, white wine and carnaroli rice (the best rice for risotto, I think) but cheated with a fish stock cube and a �3 bag of Iceland ready-cooked king prawns! It was still delicious, so if I ever make it Ainsley's way it certainly won't be any less tasty. A big hit with the children, too."

"Ok for a quick supper, but not one I would rush to make again."
