Thanks Green Aura - i did stir it together but it was still like water and just tasted like the original milk alternative, just a little sour!

Hey I love eating yoghurt but am aware as to the amount of sugar it contains. I don't eat soya so thought I would try making my own yoghurt from the various types of alternative milk. I tried carton coconut milk and also unsweetened almond milk and followed the method of heating, adding some live yo...

Thanks Jon and Bob - i did try a different recipe that uses evaporated milk and on two occasions it has not set, but like you say Jon it makes a delicious sauce and original to eat fudge with a spoon! I will keep trying and using the advice above and i am sure i will get something that is the right ...

Hi I thought i would have a go at making fudge and followed the recipe as provided by carnation milk using the condensed milk. I have followed the recipe exactly on two occasions and both times the fudge has come out like a brick! Some recipes have said that it shouldn't be beaten at the end if it c...

how awful - it's the same when dog owners fed their dogs loads of junk not realising the harm they are doing - it makes me cringe everytime i see an owner with a fat dog waddling - why?

Hi Pach I had the same plant growing this summer, two of them and like the previous thread at first i thought they were some kind of potato but then the black berries appeared and someone informed me that they are some kind of nightshade - dug them up rather quickly!!! Never had them before - just a...
