Hi Lindsay

Thinking of making this lasagne for the first time - do you think it's still necessary to drain the aubergine and courgettes? Not sure if this is done now?

Thanks in advance.

Pink leeks!

Hi there. Hope you are well? Just a question about Delia’s Shepherd’s pie. I’ve been making this for years and love it. Sometimes my leeks go pink when cooking in the oven. Any ideas?

Frozen hot water crust!

Asked on 21 Jul 2024 by HA

Good evening Lindsay,
I hope you are having lovely Sunday weekend.
Would you be able to help me to demystify my never ending saga as to how to work with offcuts frozen hot water pastry after I put them out of the freezer.
In my experiment, the pastries are tough to handle even after a day in the fridge.
Many thanks,
Helen

Asked on 21 Jul 2024 by Simon01

Re Today's recipe - marinated chicken in whole spices.

Could I cook this in the marinade in the oven rather than grilling?
