"I haven't tried the recipe yet, but a 1-litre (or 1-quart jar will fit 4 cups. Obvioustly, if you're going to use a recipe that calls for 5 1/2 cups of ingredients, you're going to need a bigger jar. But the cookies sound yum, I'd give them a try!"

"I love carrot cake, so I was really looking forward to trying these muffins, but unfortunately the result wasn't what I'd been hoping for... As others noted below, there is definitely something funny about the timing. The reason, as far as I can tell, is that there is just too much liquid for the amount of flour. I made everything exactly as in t..."

"Yum! I made the roux for the sauce with olive oil instead of butter, and didn't use Worcestershire sauce as I didn't have it -- but it was still delicious and thickened nicely after only a couple of minutes of whisking. As a quick alternative to steaming, I put the cauliflower straight into its baking dish and zapped it in the microwave for 4 minu..."

"This was excellent, if somewhat time-consuming for a simple dish (the prep time was more like 30 mins for me, dominated by the process of separating chard leaves and stalks. I made it exactly as in the recipe, but used red chard and the colour was rich and worked really well with the red stalks (as in BarbryT's picture above. The garlic was a pe..."

"Yum! I scaled this down to make a salad for two -- one large leaf of curly kale, a grated carrot and a handful of walnuts. Also scaled back on the spices and just tossed a bit of mixed spice and a bit of mixed Italian herbs into a dry pan with the walnuts, and toasted the lot together. Then chopped up the walnuts and added everything to the salad,..."

"I was looking for interesting things to do with kale, and this was perfect. I didn't have cayenne pepper, so had to make do with regular pepper, and also used regular dry beans that I soaked overnight and cooked for 1.5 hours before using in the soup. Worked wonderfully, and this soup has the most amazing combination of colours and textures. Thank..."

"Wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing! I used apple juice instead of water because I had very sour apples from the garden, and replaced half the butter with mild olive oil. Also used wholewheat flour, as I prefer it. It was well done after 40 minutes, but the crumble hadn't browned in my oven, so I browned it under the grill for a few minutes. Came..."

"Yummmm - this is a childhood favourite of mine! Tastes great hot too, optionally garnished with raisins or fruit preserves."

"I love this one too, I've been making it for years. I usually don't bother with piping and just spoon bits of mayo on first, then sprinkle with crushed garlic. Those who dislike dill can leave it out, it's still a pretty-looking dish and tastes surprisingly yummy for something so simple. Presentation can be jazzed up with sprigs of curly-leaf pars..."

"An excellent authentic Russian recipe, pretty much exactly as my family makes it (called "Sharlotka" in Russian. As a personal preference, I substitute self-raising flour for the plain flour, and add a bit of cinnamon to the apples -- but there is absolutely no need to do this, it will work regardless. I tend to whisk the eggs separately and then..."
