Hi Sophie-Thankyou so much Sophie!

Hi anna-Thankyou!

Hi Sandie-Exactly! Yes a great idea to use all the time. My mum swears by hers and yes better for the electricity bill too!

Hi The Duo Dishes-Great idea using mint! It would really give is a nice pep

Hi Blond Duck-They’re great and I love the way they look

Hi Kathy-Thankyou! Me too, there’s nothing better and I love the smell of it. I think a slow cooker is very electricity efficient so I would probably buy that first (but that’s just me as I keep hearing my mum talk about it!)

Hi Anita-Thankyou so much!

Hi shez-I know isn’t that funny! The crime of it! Yes I love lemon rind, I’d love to salt my own lemons too one day

Hi Angela-Thanks! It does take up quite a bit of room I have to admit I keep it out on my sideboard as I love it.

Hi reddoorread -Thanks! It was a last minute throw in but we both loved it

Hi Brianna-They’re a really nice addition. I always feel like I should put at least one in a stew. You’re welcome!

Hi Y-That’s shin but you can use both. Definitely a good purchase and ideal for Winter!

Hi Forager-Yummm you said the magic word: marrow! I adore marrow…

Hi BethieofVAd-Why thankyou!

Hi tara-Yes I agree It’s great and the ultimate in a ready cooked meal! A moroccan spice mix is a great idea. I always like a bit of vegetable in there somewhere! And crusty bread or something to soak up the juice is a must

Hi Reemski-Hehe thanks!

Hi Sara-I think they’d be quite similar? Either will do really

Hi Jude-Haha no way! I am very protective of my tagine

Hi Simon-Yes when it’s done well it’s magnificent. When not, well …people can hold grudges against sweet and savoury A lot of people think it does although I haven’t done a direct comparison between a tagine and a baking tray.

Hi Karen-It is indeed, I agree! And yes do get one, although I don’t use it that often., bringing one out at a dinner party never fails to impress

Hi Helen-And the marrow of course is the best bit!

Hi Lilia-Yes I’m sure slow cooking bones is probably better than fast cooking them for soup and gets every bit of flavour out!

Hi Taiko Tari-There are lots of tagine recipes online and mine came with a cookbook which was handy. Well it depends, I look at it also for ornamental value and I love having one. But for a strict cost per use, other items might be better.

Hi Cakelaw-Hehe thanks!

Hi FFichiban-It smells really amazing. Almost torture if you weren’t eating it

Hi rohan-Aww thanks so much! I don’t have any but my friends are happy with the extras I give them

Hi Su-yin-I think I have a similarly sized wishlist-am chipping away slowly at it I love that placemat, it’s so striking!

Hi 5 Star Foodie-Ah good question, it’s: mild paprika, garlic, caraway, coriander seed, cumin, salt, chili and spearmint

Hi snooky doodle-Absolutely! And meat like this just needs that slow cooking to keep it beautifully soft

I also love your red placemat, it’s so pretty and intricate. I love slow cooked lamb shanks, so I’m sure I’ll like this too – will have to try it one day! x
