Hi Pete,

Great recipes! Loving them, I am still making my way through the pages writing down the ones I fancy trying, I am on page 60 so far Nd that's took me 4 sittings lol!

Anyway I love SW diets coke chicken (mine and hubby's fav) and I see you also share a love with us for curries and experimenting with food. So wondered if you had a diet coke curry recipe lol? Or had planned on maybe trying one?

Thanks! Xx
 
If you download the lndex it lists all my recipes, just follow the link, its on page 112. There should be a diet coke recipe!

I haven't tried freezing any of them for a long time, the soups are easy, pasta sauce, curries.
