[xGeordieGirlx]

The lemon and coriander couscous sounds lovely--is it a recipe you make yourself?

Hey na I bought it from Tesco (I just realised your from Kentucky so probably don't have a Tesco lol). Was really lovely. I'm sure it could be made pretty easily though, with Couscous, some Lemon juice and some mixed herbs or something? x

Hi! Your pizza looks absolutely delicious... I think I might try one next week. thanks for the pictures!

 

[miffypie]

Please please please tell me how you make smash pizza?? I tried once and I had to spoon it off the baking sheet - it was just a pile of mash with toppings on it. Ugh.

 

[xGeordieGirlx]

Please please please tell me how you make smash pizza?? I tried once and I had to spoon it off the baking sheet - it was just a pile of mash with toppings on it. Ugh.

Lol that happened to me the very first time I made one!! I emptied the smash into a big bowl and then added water but not too much, just enough so the smash was covered but so that I could pick it up and roll it...so it was hard-ish. If that makes sense? And then I rolled it out and put it on a oven dish thing we have lol (very technical aren't I!!??) sprayed the dish with fry light first and then sprayed the smash with fry light.

Put it in the oven for about 20 mins and then take it out, and I used a fish fry thing to turn it over onto a plate. Then smothered it with passata, added whatever I wanted on it, sprayed with fry light and then put it back in the oven for 20 mins.

Think the trick is to not use loads of water when you're making the smash. If it works its really lovely...crispy and doesnt taste like smash! I was gutted when my first attempt failed as I was really looking forward to it, but my last two have worked Just keep trying and you'll suss it! Good luck. Let me know how your next attempt turns out? x
