Comment on Mexican Bean Burgers by Kerri

Thanks, Jules. I think calling these burgers is a bit of a fib really, since they are very loose in texture. The beans are lovely though and work very well without any grilling, packed into tortillas.

I was very impressed with myself, Caramella and it’s definitely given me the confidence to try other breads. I think the honey is used specifically in hamburger buns because the slightly sweeter bread works well with the meat. It could be something technical to do with the yeast too but you would know more about that than me!

I love, love love eating potatoes with rice. Carb on carb. Shame it wasn’t satisfying enough though.

I’m so glad you’ve given baking a go and I hope you’ll keep on baking. The hamburger buns look fabulous, light and fluffy and I’m sure they tasted accordingly too. I’d no idea that honey is used, I bet the shop bought ones don’t have any of the good stuff you put in your recipe.

They look fantastic! I’m always on the look out for veggie burger recipes and I really like the sound of this one.

Comment on Chillied Tortilla Soup and Chilli-Seasoned Pot Roasted Pork by Kerri

Thanks, Lizzie. The soup was good as a starter but it’s a bit thin to be fulfilling enough as a dish on it’s own I think.

Thanks, Becky

Yeah, just as you said, Gareth. You can buy sheets of pork fat from some supermarkets, so dangerous!

I know, I only asked for four to begin with but took the rest since they were so cheap. And they were from Waitrose, I don’t think I’ve ever used the words “cheap” and “Waitrose” in the same sentence before

Thanks, Jonathan. I thought you might approve!

Thanks, Helen. I’ve not tried washing the potato so that’s a good tip.

Thanks, Brian. That makes sense and probably goes some way to explain whey recipes often add fresh herbs at the end of the cooking time.
