Cooking for One or Two
My daughter's living in a bed-sitter, and only has a gas-ring to cook on; have you any suggestions for widening the range of foods she cooks? From what she tells me, she fries everything. My husband and I are pensioners, and we find shopping a bit of a problem. Do you think it would be worth the expense of buying a freezer? I live alone and I'm out at work all day - so I don't need to keep large stocks of food but I find it difficult to buy small quantities. Are manufacturers doing anything about this? Put your questions to two cookery experts, Mary Berry and Louise Davies. Sue MacGregor is in the Chair
