    Hi Caroline, I totally agree about the griddle pan… Mine is on permanent loan from my mum’s kitchen and I cook loads from it… Not to fond of the mandolin idea as I’ve used my mum’s a few times and almost ended up in casualty (not quite but there was too much blood for my liking)…

  2. I used a mandolin a couple of times during the course with no problems – it was just when we were getting lectured about using it carefully and the teachers managed to slip while oh-so-confidentally slicing that there were problems. I definitely think they’re worth it – as long as human blood doesn’t become part of the dish!

    Caroline – I made the tomato chilli jam and it was phenomenal! Really really good. Pretty spicy, which I love, but I suppose you could de-seed and de-vein the chillies for a milder version. Thanks much for the tip and have a lovely Christmas!

  4. Great to hear you enjoyed the Tomato Chilli Jam, Deborah – it’s a serious favourite around here. Hope it wasn’t too spicy!
