It's not bleeping Ready Steady Cook (though tbf, they tend not to throw it all in one dish).
Nigella's marzipan cake.
Use chestnuts to make stuffing or as part of a nut roast this Christmas.
Millionaire's Shortbread or caramel cheesecake for the carnation (or again tbf, fudge). Or pour it over the bleeping tinned pears from earlier, if you feel retro.

They want advice anyway, not you mithering about wordsearches. How is 'Hmmm, there's something there, but <shrug> who knows what it is?' helpful. Offer advice that isn't going to waste food, ffs.

@Flumps i need to go tell all the individual herbs in my fridge that they are special and unique and can't be replaced by one another then i need to go for a lie down
That made me do a real life laugh. Poor little herbs and their identity crisis.

You simply CANNOT make proper falafel with tinned chickpeas. You can make chickpea fritters or bakes or whatever but they are not proper falafel. Why not simply say ‘it won’t be as good but it’ll work’ when she uses her stupid substitutions

NOOOOO! Does she actually think real falafel is made from cooked chickpeas? omg i am speechless this has ended me
I love this kind of stuff because the only cooking I ever do is put stuff on baking trays so I have no idea how wrong she is but I live for your replies.
