    For any casserole or stew that tastes as if it is missing that "special something" just add a small pinch of sugar. Same with any tomato based dish, like bolognese or chili, the sugar counteracts the acidity of the tomatoes. Also works for gravy if it tastes a bit "flat". Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all !!

    A slice of white bread, trimmed of its crust and flattened either with a rolling pin or a pasta machine (progressively narrow the rollers) makes a credit crunch-busting alternative to a flour tortilla! Fajitas will now be affordable in these tricky times
