Party Season
If you're bored with serving the usual sausage-on-a-stick and chicken legs at your buffets, why not try something different in the form of Rostis. These have become new favourites for the quick food lovers and are so easy to prepare. A mixture of flaked potato, onion and various seasonings, Rostis just need heating on a tray in the oven. Simple! Try ASDA's mini rostis, ideal for parties, which come with a salsa, flavoured with garlic, chilli and coriander. A bit tastier than a sausage roll we think you'll agree!

Have You Tried?..... Greek Yoghurt

Made from full-cream cows milk Greek Yoghurt has a disctinctive taste and is thick, rich and creamy. It can replace cream both in savoury and sweet dishes. Some labels will say 'Greek Yoghurt' which will have been made in Greece and imported, other lables will say 'Greek style yoghurt' - this is much the same but will be made elsewhere. Try adding a spoonful to oil and vinegar for a really tangy salad dressing.

Q: Which oranges make the best marmalade?

A: Without a doubt Seville oranges are by far the best oranges for making marmalade. They are bitter and acidic - unsuitable for eating but perfect for marmalade. These oranges are also used to give Cointreau and Grand Mariner their flavour, and the juice can also be used to give gravy a sharp, fruity flavour which has a great affinity with pork or duck.
