Ooh! An English pizza recipe! Yes, Delia is very good and I enjoy reading her recipes. I picked up a hard copy of BBC Food yesterday at Barnes & Noble because it had a 12 page spread of Nigella’s recipes. It’s a beautiful magazine.

Although people laugh, I still love Pizza Express.

I love the mango ice cream idea. Can you put together a recipe for that?

Yes, I like the clean-up; but it also cooks things nicely, especially fish and veggies. I would think that it retains more of the nutrition, too.

I’m an instinctive cook....little of this, little of that. I kick myself for not writing it down when something comes out really delicious.

The H/D mango sorbet is sauce-like .....once it melts. I added a dash of lemoncello b/c I had prepped my salmon w/ lemon slices.

But you could add Thai flavors to the melted mango sorbet....lime squeeze, grated ginger-root, dash of Sriracha for heat, a dribble of toasted sesame oil.

I find salmon is very forgiving-—it will marry w/ just about any flavor.

OK. So I take it there’s no need to thicken the sauce. Just add a few ingredients to the melted sorbet. Sounds easy and delicious.

Yup......it’s already a sauce right out of the carton....when melted.

Just add your fave flavors.

Yes, that’s true. The outdoors makes food taste great, and soothes the soul.

I have never mastered the cornmeal trick. How do you knead dough on cornmeal without the cornmeal getting mixed in? And is there a special kind that doesn’t turn rock-hard when baked?

Actually, on that last point, maybe I should use coarse-ground flour corn . . .

That is strange but what the heck?

I like peanut butter and pickle on toasted pumpernickel

One of the tastiest and refreshing things is a mango con chile popsicle,that you can get in hispanic markets.

Mmmmmm....sounds good.

I’ve seem the strawberry popsicles made on food shows....solid fruit frozen on a stick. Yum.

The cornmeal is used to avoid sticking.....using flour would absorb into the dough.....you do not want extra flour in your dough.

Some of the cornmeal might adhere.....that’s why it’s best to knead lightly.

LOL!

Stick around, mylife; you make me laugh :-)

(Toasty Sandwiches are the best. I’ve never understood why the Quiznos chain seems to be going under in my area - two of the nearby locations have closed. We really liked that place.)

I posted the recipe to the originator of the thread, which I thought was you. So it’s posted as a reply to post 1. Sorry about the mix up. Hope you like the recipe.

My car broke down on the side of the road. I am waiting for AAA to tow me. it’s so hot I am pretending I am at a sauna. We make packets of squash, onions, & garlic w/ a pour of olive oil in foil packets. Works on the grill or in the oven.

The AAA guy wanted to know where I was headed. Does it really matter now???? Odd question.

Oops, hours later. I enjoyed the posts by the side of the road. Home now.......

No problem, Excellence! I get mixed up all the time trying to keep track of who I’m writing to! LOL! Thanks so very much for the recipe, Excellence! It sounds wonderful!

As a speculation, I suspect it may be possible to substitute other grain flakes and ground nuts. We don’t have a lot of walnuts within easy reach, but pecan trees are plentiful!

I LOVE your idea of using an apple corer/slicer to deal with the onions! Gotta try that!

I love Delia’s recipes and have many of her cookbooks. She is a Christian/Anglican and has written at least three devotional guides, one for Advent, one for Lent, and iirc the other one is on prayer or being a Christian. Her devotionals are older, 1980s maybe, so will need to be found used.
