Review: 2 Stars! Oh NO! Can't believe we have scored this one so low. We weren't keen on this at all. Maybe I did something wrong? It felt like there was something missing, don't ask me what....I don't know, I'm not a pro! It looked good, smelled good but just didn't hit the mark on taste. Maybe I'm too fussy? Annoying because I spent time on this recipe. Anyway, the mash potato bit was good - home grown potatoes of course. It's easy enough to make but time consuming so it's a day off recipe rather than a quick after work meal.
Aga conversion: No conversion on this today as the Aga was off for my attempts at door liner upgrades...and that's another story!
Will I make this again? Definitely Not.

Fantastic! What more can I say? I have been searching for the perfect Mac n Cheese ever since I fell in love with the Booths supermarket frozen mac n cheese.

Bet it tastes even better with some crispy streaky bacon chopped up and mixed in.....mmmmmm maybe next time!I used semi skimmed milk and Cathedral City Mature (I like strong cheese) cheddar Light to reduce some calories off the calorie count stated and it was perfect.

Took 40 mins to make so not an overly quick recipe but wow what a taste! I used plain pork sausages from my local butchers (Pitts in Earby as he makes the best pork sausages 💕). I made a half portion (serves 3) on the sauce and have set aside the extra portion for freezing and only made a third of the pasta as I’m serving 2. Used 1 cayenne chilli and didn’t deseed as we like extra heat. So so tasty. This recipe does not disappoint. Will I make this again? Absolutely 💕💕💕 Mary Berry I love you 😍 Full Recipe Below Red Hot Ragu SERVES 6 CALS PER SERVING 517 375g (12oz) rigatoni or other tubular pasta 60g (2oz) Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated 3 tbsp chopped parsley, or 175g (6oz) young spinach leaves, shredded Sauce 500g (1lb) good-quality pork sausages with herbs a little olive o

Paul Hollywood - Crumpets

Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 So, I got up early on Sunday and decided to have a go at these. They did not disappoint. I was surprised how easy they are to make, but you do need to have some crumpet rings or egg rings available to make them...and I did! I'd bought some of these Professional Egg Rings from Amazon and just took off the handles. They worked a treat. Oh how soft and tasty these crumpets are especially with some lovely Longley Farm Butter on top...💖 Mmmmmmm. Anyway, back to the review at hand. My egg rings are only 2cm deep and I did follow the instructions to fill to just below the top, but they still overflowed so I would advise filling to 1.5cm full to allow rising room! On my Aga (DC3) simmering plate my timing were about 7 minutes on the first side and then 2-3 minutes on the tops. I didn't eat them all on Sunday, but they were good enough to eat all of them so I have frozen 6 in a freezer bag. I toasted a couple of the fresh ones on Monday morning and they were perf
