I'm usually very good at duplicating things I eat in restaurants, but this one has me stumped and the owners won't share their secrets! It is made with fresh green beans, garlic, oil and..... And there's the problem. There is a 'base note' I can't identify. Is anyone aware of a savory asian green bean recipe that is similar to this? There is no ginger, sesame oil or chiles in it that I can tell, either. So what the mystery ingredient may be is just that - a mystery!

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am in the uk so I find it hard to get canned pumpkin, (unless someone can reccomend a store!) so I am going to use a fresh one, I'm not a brilliant cook, so it needs to be nice and easy and as close to a traditional recipie as possible, also what gas mark not in temperatures please!

Received a great tip last week about poaching eggs wrapped in cling film (see my previous Q's). I tried it and was so simple, clean and just the way I like it. So I will always do this from now on.

Got me thinking could I poach 3 or 4 eggs at the same time in this manner. I tried and the result was just as good as the single one. Therefore: -

Is it feasible to crack each raw egg into its own cling film wrapper and then freeze them (maybe a dozen at a time) to de-frost and poach as and when required.

My real concern is the health aspect of freezing whole out-of-shell raw egg for long periods and de-frosting of same.

Any informed comments would be appreciated.

I made a cheesecake as per a Delia Smith recipe and all was going well except it seems reluctant to set. I don't want to have to throw it all out and start again- is there anything I can do to it now to make it set better?

If you submerge it in water, how do you know if it is good or bad?
What does it mean when it floats or sink? Also, can you give me any other method of how to find out whether its good or bad-without eating it ofcourse...
