Talking of tomatoes, I forgot to thank the person (I think Flumps maybe?) who suggested marinating baby tomatoes in olive oil and salt and pepper for the day to add to a caprese salad. I did it earlier in the week and it was bloody lovely- so easy but not anything I’d have done without reading that, and made my salad bloody lovely!

The comments that the banana and anchovy pizza is getting are fantastic.

My culinary dilemmas I would love to ask her:

"Hi Jack, I've been wanting to make your peach and chickpea curry but can't find any peaches! Could I use wine gums for the same sweet effect?"

"Hi Jack, a recipe suggests adding Chinese five spice to my stir fry but I'm concerned about cultural appropriation. Do you think it would be okay?"

"Hi Jack, my local stable has taken out a restraining order against me just for making your delicious lasagne recipe! Will a traditional bechamel work?"

"Hi Jack, I have a bag of flour. Any ideas?"

Errrrr, she made a ‘bechamel’ that resembled a substance released when happy. The quantity was vast, akin to a horse. 😳

I can't be bothered to screenshot, ,but here's another riveting question for tonight's lockdown larder:

What to do with a bag of quinoa sent by asda as a substitute for brown rice? Thanks for yiyr help Jack

My personal top tip is to cook it according to packet instructions and eat it instead of brown rice. @Silver Linings Any other thoughts? Dip it in mayo, maybe?

Ooh, that reminds me, I've got some bulgar wheat (no NOT vulgar what, autocarrot) in the cupboard so some onions cooked till transparent, spinach, courgetes and stock will do me, plus whatever herbs, nuts etc I can find.

Thank you for that - now added to my saved pages! Something that this veggie knew nothing about. Battered onion rings (proper onions, not the frozen type) were as far as my chippy subs went
