When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.

If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's tough sh*t.

Your family will eat it and be grateful for it, no matter how bad it tastes.

Delia's Way

Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting it in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

The throbbing will go away.

Leftover wine????

Baffled by the wine. Who actually has any left over?

[Gizmo]

Left over wine: not a common phenomenon in our house, I can tell you .

I can't be the only person who has set out to try and do things the Delia way and rapidly reverted to RW status, can I?
