    Sorry for lack of clarity! You can add bouquet garni or loose herbs - bay leaf, oregano, rosemary but remove the tough ones before liquidising. Add sherry +/or cream to serve

    Yes am wondering about the sherry too. And we have our own chestnuts from the garden - would the weight be different if they are not vacuum packed?

    Really want to try this but having trouble following your method! Is bouquet garni the same as rosemary? If not, when did the rosemary go in? And when do I add the sherry? Thank you!
