"My tip, because there are only two of us, is to use only the amount of 'soup' we need for that meal , and freeze the rest without tortellini for use on another occasion. "

Broccoli & stilton soup
5 comments
"I made this last week - without the Stilton - and found it to be delicious. Broccoli is one of my favourite soups, and this is a good one. I had crusty bread with Gorgonzola alongside - no Stilton as we live in France."

"I made this today for my husband - the soup eater of the family - and he pronounced it 'quite acceptable - nice for a change' and said it was worthy of four stars."

"The stuffing certainly gets five stars. In the end I didn't have time to do the bread part of it, so just made a mushroom sauce according to the recipe (using lots of dried rosemary)) and served it with penne. My husband gave it the thumbs up and said 'don't lose that recipe!' However, I will make it some other time as calzone as that's what attracted me to the recipe in the first place."

Cinnamon Rock Cakes

"I've made these three times now and love them - much better than my usual recipe. I stuck to the recipe the first time, tried making it stretch to nine buns the second time, but found I needed that one extra bite to make them satisfying as I'm a very greedy person, so it's back to eight buns. I now use 75g sultanas and 40g chopped cherries, and after they are arranged on the baking tray, use a skewer to poke in any sticking-out bits of fruit so that they won't burn and turn hard. Any that aren't eaten on the first day I wrap individually in clingfilm, then give them 10 seconds on High in the microwave just before eating them and they're almost as good as new. Thanks, Beckie, for a lovely recipe."
