Will do!! Oh do you know any alternatives to the herb stockpot? We don't have it locally!

 

[bilsat]

Just add any veg stock cube and add herbs of your choice!

Oh Pete... You are amazing!! I'm going to try the peanut curry tonite, I've a fussy teenage lad so we'll see what he thinks too. I'm also going to have a go at the ScanBran Carrot Cake, and I think I'll make some syn free orange curd to slather all over the top. If it works out ok I'll post a pic.
Thanks for all the inspiration you give, you're a true star ...

I've brought a book to write down your recipes today Pete
my only complaint is its never easy finding the one you want lol
So I'm going to jot my favourite down so I can find them
have you though of doing your own recipe site with an index etc

Just finished devouring my Almond curry!! (Almond butter instead of peanut butter). It was really nice!! It didn't look like much on the plate (i eat like an elephant), but it was so filling!! I'm going to burst. Well worth it though. The nicest thing i've cooked in a while!!

 

[Pickled Tink]

I made the peanut curry (my lad didn't eat it as he's gone off football training... how odd!! lol), I chucked some leftover beef in and omg, it was lush. My OH scored it 9 out of 10, so thank you very much Pete!!
I haven't made the carrot cake, I don't have enough eggs but will do that tomoz and let you know how it goes

 

[hipster]
