Just had a scan through some of your recipes they are fantastic. I love that you include "very lazy" garlic etc I hate all that faffing about peeling and chopping garlic and it puts me off trying out some recipes. I will def be trying out some of your recipes now :O)

[scrappie]

Hi Pete

Made your egg fried rice for dinner this evening - fantastic!!

Just made a note to myself not to fully per cook the rice. By the time I had 'fried' it, it was a little mushy! Still very tasty tho

 

[Blackhawk]

Omg thank you so much for posting all these they all look yummy, and a massive well done on your weight loss

 

[bilsat]

Hi Rach1987.
I don't syn the Instant mash flakes as they are syn free, At one time Cadbury's Smash had to be syned for some reason but I only use the Sainsbury's " basic" instant mash, it's cheaper!
