I don't think I'll be using those recipes anymore! A pity, as the photo they included made it look so nice.. Quite annoying they can get away with dodgy recipes :X

Those balls are nice hey! I still have some stuffed in the freezer :P

I always find recipes from smaller weekly magazines to be a bit hit and miss. The one and only time I have made an awful cake I was following the recipe that was in a magazine that comes free with the saturday express newspaper. Since it is endorsed by a celebrity chef and I followed the recipe to a t I assumed it would be fine. Not so, they didnt give the right measurement of batter for the pan they said to use so my cake was like a frisbee! It was also far too dry and cloying so I am sticking to delia smith and other tried and tested recipe books!

I tried those rice balls btw, yum, I like that nobody in my family likes peanut so I get to scoff the lot myself!

On the pictures it looks good ! Usually when I cook I follow my mom's recipes which have been tested for a long time haha but most of the time when I try new recipes the first time's always a bit... surprising !

It's a bit strange! I feel that sometimes recipes in random magazines just plonk them there without really finding out if the recipes work :X
