Poaching tinned pears? They are already cooked. If you poached them any more they would turn to mush. Reduce the poaching liquid she says, what liquid would that be? She doesn't specify what liquid to use, tinned pears come in either syrup or juice, or should that be thrown away, pears rinsed and use another unspecified liquid to cook them in?

The answers she is giving are lacking in any specifics. If someone doesn't know what to do with celeriac, they are unlikely to know how to make gnocchi out of it. Just saying dhal, gnocchi, puttanesca, or fridge cake without instructions is pointless.

Argh. I feel like I am going mad. Didn't they already say they were in the freezer, though, granted, I am confused about the paprika in the freezer.

Stop making slop. Roast leeks are lovely (mom knows all about them), or just fried slowly in butter, add cream at the end if you like. Leeks in risotto as a proper veg component. Can't anything be the thing that it is, why does it all have to be disguised or subbed or blitzed to oblivion.

Someone's asking if they can cook with the innards of a pumpkin they've carved and I despair I really do.

i was just about to say why not make a remoulade! Or a nice winter slaw with thinly sliced apple, olive oil, mint, parsley, lemon and toasted almonds. Why is she so crap!
She’s an actual affront to both of you beautiful cooks. Her platform is built on a throne of lies and misplaced sympathy!
