I'm not sure how long our fruit cake lasts. We are still pigging out and it was made in Christmas week. But make it about 2-3 weeks before the wedding to guarantee that it's enjoyed fresh. Frisson - is a great word however it's spelt :) Yesterday I ordered the updated version of The Pauper's Cookbook - just the sort of book that we need ATM. Thanks so much for the tip. Hello Clare

Frisson – is a great word however it’s spelt :)

Yesterday I ordered the updated version of The Pauper’s Cookbook – just the sort of book that we need ATM. Thanks so much for the tip.

"Frisson" often has Barbara Cartland type meanings! For many years my bible was Jocasta Innes' "The Pauper's Cookbook" which uses ideas like your one chicken, many meals. My copy opens at "Onion, bacon and potato hotpot", delicious.

That can cause upsets :) We are enjoying the battle though! We'll eat well for next to nothing. Hi S.O.L. They are being sold locally at Kitchens N Tings (Newmarket). I spent a good half an hour searching for you on the internet but most suppliers have switched to cast iron (more expensive and they'd be too hot unless you bought 15 foot ducting). Keep your eyes open at the garden centre, B&Q, Homebase, Tesco, Ebay as they might have an offer on a clay one. And this is the one that you need, the cast iron ones would generate far too much heat. If you find one (clay) email me and I’ll fill you in with the method. Hot coals and a wet soaked log or two to smoulder. What you need is smoke rather than heat. Hello Toffeeapple We don’t have much time on our hands but a challenge is a challenge! Hi Cindy I originally spelt it with zz’s. Danny edited it and Pamela opened up to the word. A group effort. It means the same as pizzazz. (probably spelt this wrong too! Hello Sally Raspberry vodka is to die for. Great that you are enjoying the site. Hello Pamela Thank you! I meant that – just didn’t know how to spell it and it was very late at night for searching for the torch let alone the dictionary. Hi Cindy Use Pamela’s version! I think that mine is probably Cottage Smallholder speak and wouldn't be understood outside the confines of this site :) Hi Barbara

Hello Sally

Raspberry vodka is to die for. Great that you are enjoying the site.

Hello Pamela

Thank you! I meant that – just didn’t know how to spell it and it was very late at night for searching for the torch let alone the dictionary.

Hi Cindy

Use Pamela’s version! I think that mine is probably Cottage Smallholder speak and wouldn’t be understood outside the confines of this site :)
