I'm gonna try your rib recipe tomorrow. It's really hard for me to watch your channel without getting hungry. So I've kinda made a habit of snacking wile watching lol. Good job Claire.

Haha! Well that’s the biggest compliment ever 😆 just keep an eye on the ribs so they don’t catch with the honey on them. I hope you enjoy! Xx
Going through your videos and watching ones I've missed. Hope you are all well 😸

Don't worry about your university dressing gown. I got mine when my son was in kindergarten, aged 4. I still have it, and have done multiple repairs to it. Son is now known on social media as Adult Son and is 25.

Ah bless, no need to waste it if it’s still got life left in it! I know my mum still has one she got in Hong Kong in the early 80’s. Nothing wrong with it! Xx
Most of what we buy has a yellow sticker on it, apart from the chicken we buy. We get it from a local chicken factory that supplies supermarkets.

My wife use cook lovely meals but now sometimes she buys readymade meals and cooks she loves watching your videos if we dont ever think we give it to the foxes take care
Beautiful hair colour, Claire! Your red sauce is very similar to that of Marcella Hazan, but she adds 1/3 olive oil and 1/3 cup butter, with a whole peeled onion. (Well, her recipe uses 1/2 cp, but I just can't!). Take out the onion at the end. Usually done in about 40 minutes. The added sugar is what really makes a difference. I love a good tray bake! Trying to do the cook once eat twice thing, but there's no room in my f-i-l's fridge---he has those 6 quarts of ice cream in there...

People are always amazed at the way I can repurpose ingredients. I hate to throw things away. No leftover wasted. I love that you throw caution to the wind when it involves freezing. My general theory is that it will be fine in most cases. When all else fails, make soup!

I'm not even coeliac but GF pasta (for me it's the one from Asda that i think's best) is just better than normal pasta. Blummin' love it. Would never go back.
I always wash my rice after it's cooked now, and it's great 😅

I made a huge pot of chili, using up all of mince in the freezer. I think I'll use the pork chops/steaks next. Slowly working my way through the freezer. I may have used the mince but ended up putting 5 bags of chili in the freezer so i didn't gain any space. Your meals are always wonderful looking and so nutritious. I like your "no waste" attitude. Take care! 🥰🐢💤

Thank you! Oh there is so much you can do with the airfryer. Yesterday I made a snack for me and Ed that blew my mind. Fold up a slice of salami like a taco, stuff with cream cheese mixed with chopped spinach, coat in Parmesan and air fry at 200c for 10 minutes. Amazing 🤤 xx
Oooh, hair's fab!

Watching the slow cooker beef reminded me - I've taken to putting the meat on the top of the slow cooker pile rather than the bottom. Especially if it's not browned first. Something about being exposed to the air a bit seems to give it a bit of an extra flavour (just seasoning and maybe a little liquid poured over). I've also seen people shove it all to the side so the hot surface acts a bit like a hot surface and gives it some colour - but not tried it yet. But looks better than the peely-wally you normally get if you don't brown it off first.

I’m eating up the proteins in our freezer as one of our fridge freezers is playing up - the fridge bit isn’t chilling but the freezer is still functioning crossed fingers. We’re waiting to see if a part can be sourced before buying a new one. So we’ve had lamb steaks with rosemary garlic potato cubes in the airfryer and savoy cabbage, Mongolian beef with broccoli and rice, confit duck legs with savoy cabbage and cubed potatoes (so good we ate it twice), kidney bean stew with rice and airfryer drumsticks Next week will see some slow cooker beef short ribs, and a lamb curry It feels very decadent eating our ‘posh’ meat on weekdays but I don’t want it going to waste if the freezer packs in.

Oh I hope the fridge got fixed! Such a faff replacing them. The worst part is removing the old one and finding the graveyard of detritus under it… that all sounds so delicious 🤤 I’m coming to your house for tea 🤣 xx

I can recommend rice seasoning you can get it in international stores it’s dead cheap!! Yes pls do wash your rice we do its to get rid of excess starch!! At the moment the kids want Japanese English food!! Sausage and mashed potatoes , it’s all cherry blossom based food at the moment. But I am back at work at now. So my two year son just wants sushi and ramen or Nissin noodle pots . And my 4 month old is weaning. I don’t follow what the modern health care professionals say it’s rubbish.
