RE: Sweet Pastry
Just a correction here. Corn flour is not the same as cornmeal. It is Corn Starch here in the U.S. Joan from Chesterfield,Michigan

Editor's Note: Thanks Joan. You are correct, it is corn starch. I've added it to the instructions above. ... View related article.

RE: Substitute for Chocolate Chips in Recipes
Dark chocolate in the US is the same as plain chocolate in Europe. Cadbury makes a dark chocolate bar (how about Nestle"s) - maybe you could get them in Malta. Freeze them first, then grate or break into small pieces. We also make chocolate chunk cookies - which use larger pieces of chocolate and they are VERY good. Happy baking!

RE: Weight Loss Tips
I also suggest Weight Watchers. I know they are in England and if there is not one close to you, the program is online. They stress healthy foods and exercise. In addition to losing weight you will find that your cholesterol and blood pressure levels will come down. I know - it worked for me! Good luck ... View related article.

RE: Fat Free Sugar Free Salad Dressing Recipe
I use Good Seasons Italian dressing. It is a dry mix that you mix up yourself. It calls for vinegar, water and oil but I use very little oil and increase the water and vinegar. I also add a teaspoon of Splenda. It's really quite good and if you use olive or canola oil, it's healthy too. ... View related article.

RE: Recipes for WW2 Sweets
I was a child in England during WWII. Mostly our desserts were made with local fruit, such as apples and plums and our meager sugar ration would go for sweetening them. However, I believe when you say "sweets" you are referring to what we call "candy" here in the U.S. I don't remember my Mother making sweets at home - it would have taken too much sugar. We were allowed a "candy" ration - I believe it was about 8oz. a month, so you can imagine how we looked forward to going to the sweet shop for our treats! Time passes so quickly - can't believe it was so long ago! Good luck to you with your project,

RE: Tips and Recipes For Imitation Crab
I like to use it for crab salad. Chop the crab and add some chopped celery and onion then mix with just enough mayonnaise or Miracle Whip to hold it together Season as desired. This is good on a sandwich or with tomatoes and cucumber. Enjoy! ... View related article.
