Veggie Burger Patties
Hi Rob! I usually use fresh parsley for this recipe, but dried works perfectly fine too. Just keep in mind that dried herbs are more concentrated, so if you go that route, use half the amount (1 tsp instead of 2 tsp). Happy cooking!

Fresh or dried parsley?
Spicy Lentil Soup
Make it regularly. I add celery too but obviously optional. Delicious 😋
Savoury Cake
@Emily for this savoury cake, I split the batter between two tins, each measuring 22×11 cm. If you’re using a single larger tin, bake a little longer and check doneness with a skewer. Aim for a moist crumb with a slight crust.

Hi there what size tins did you use? Thanks :)
Greek yogurt: the perfect substitute
Not enough Double Cream to use as filling for Cake - I've added Greek Yoghurt.
Spinach and Feta Galettes
Hi Maggie! Pie crust works well as a substitute and gives a more rustic, flaky texture. Pizza dough is also tasty, but it will be more like a flatbread. Both are great options. Let us know which one you try! 😊

Is there an alternative crust? Would pie crust work? Pizza dough crust?
Greek Pasta Pie (Makaronopita)
My mother in-law made the best and she always used evaporated milk.
