  • Hi Si & Dave - Love your Best of British show - BUT had a problem when making Viennese Whiirls!! I found the mixture extremely difficult to pipe (what size nozzle did you use?!) and in the end had to spoon the mixture onto the trays - very messy!! Didnt look like whirls at all : ( !! I don't have the "brute strength" of a hairy biker!

    The biscuits were delicious with buttercream and jam though.

  • Loved the programme on Tuesday 7th Feb.
    Downloaded the piccalli recipe, but where o where is the recipe for the lovely baked ham hock??????

  • I love watching the boys- not for the cooking but for the laugh out load comedy- they have me in stitches !!!

  • I found out about the Best of British series towards the end of its run and was only able to watch the last 2 episodes which were entertaining and fascinating at the same time, any chance that the series will be released on DVD soon?
