Hi -
 
Sorry to bother you, but I live in the UK and watch Rachael Ray 30 minute meals all the time.  I just saw a programme yesterday which called for jicama.  In the UK we do not have this vegetable.  I have looked it up and know what it is but need to know what you would recommend using instead of this vegetable.  I am following your slaw recipe using carrots and jicama.
 
Many thanks
 
Jane
Dear Jane -
Thanks for your question. As you probably found out, jicama is a Mexican potato - a large root veggie with thin brown skin and white crunchy flesh. It is typically peeled and used in its raw state in salads, slaws, relishes and salsas. Jicama has a mild flavor and provides great crunch.
If substituting for raw jicama, try using a crisp green apple. You can also try celery, which provides the same crunch you get from jicama, or Asian Pear, radish or seeded cucumber. If you are looking for a substitute for cooked jicama, water chestnuts are a good bet.

OK, I know it’s not actually authentic Indian cuisine etc., but we used to love this dish and we’ve moved abroad and can’t get it. – there aren’t many Indian food places at all here and they aren’t the same anyway. The one I mean is often BRIGHT red (food colouring, yeah I know) and positively sweet. And the jars of sauce (pataks, madhur jaffrey etc.) don’t taste ANYTHING like it!
Help me! I miss it so much!

Hi all,
I have just bought my first slowcooker/crockpot and it didnt come with any recipe book, so I was wondering if anyone out there has some old family favourite recipes.
Also any hints or tips would be appreciated.

With over one million monthly active users, you pet lovers out there have probably already heard of Facebook’s not-so-new pet sites - Catbook and Dogbook - but they are new to me. I had to check out the sites - which are Facebook applications where pet owners can set up a profile for their pet, post photos, and “friend”other pets/owners. In addition to Catbook and Dogbook, there are apps for other animals as well - Horsebook, Fishbook, even Ferretbook. On the sites, there are ways to connect with other pet owners who have the same breed or live nearby to meet up for doggie playdates. Posting adorable photos to share with online “friends” is undoubtedly the most popular use of the sites. Anyone out there on Dogbook or Catbook?
