Hello, this is my first post! I have tried slimming world in the past but have to come and revisit These recipes look fantastic and I have planned my week around them. I am struggling to find a few items that I need though such as Carrs Sauce Flour and Bengal 5 Spice. Also in one recipe it requires knorr Dark Beef Stock Pot - I couldn't find this but instead got just the normal beef stock pots - hope this is ok as don't want to be unwittingly eating syns. I shop in Morrisons although a small one until our new super dooper one opens next week. If anyone could advise where to get the Sauce Flour or 5 Spice it would be great. Thank you. And thanks most of all for all these inspiring recipes

 

[bilsat]

Just use ordinary flour, it's just that I had a lot of the carrs flour, it's available on the net but you have to buy in bulk!
The dark beef stockpot is by knorr, it's in our local Sainsbury's
The spice is also from Sainsbury's.It's made by Schwartz.
