Hello! I want to ask a question about the Epic BBQ Sauce from Jamie's America. How thick should it be? The recipe gives 5 or 10 minutes to simmer until the mixture starts to thicken slightly.
But I had to wait for about 50 minutes, i guess (not at really law heat). And I still think it was a bit thin. (I always have to increase the simmering time for recipes like that: ketchups, marmalades etc).
But the pork ribs were marvellous, thank you very much!!!!

Glad you like the ribs! For the sauce maybe it is the size of the oranges that you are using for the juice, try smaller oranges perhaps?

cheers

Nice one

Hi Jamie I have searched all your books but am still struggling so I need some help. I am organising a 3 day festival in my house and the theme is Hawiian. friday night start with cocktails so thats pretty easy. We have a three course sit down meal for 25-30 so it needs to be simple. Starter is sorted with your melon and proscuito salad. The meat for mains is chicken I have 4 whole birds any suggestions, the desert will be your cheese cake. But I am stuck for starters and desert for the Saturday and as I feed about 45 I need help The meat for Saturday is overnight pork with a spicy rub, any suggestion for accompaning dishes. Thanks Maziee

wow Hawaiian, sounds exotic. Off the top of my head how about fruit and haloumi skewers??? Post some pics up in the blogs if you can it would be cool to see how it all turned out.

Cheers

I have a question for a long time about the huge amounts you use rosemary, rosemary here in Chile is very strong so only a pinch is enough to meats, chops or potatoes.
maybe your rosemary is a softer variety than ours?

Hi Jamie

Please help...My 6 year old son has recently been put on a dairy free lactose diet and as i am new to this sort of diet i am battling to find things that are safe yet fun for him to eat.A lot of the information that i have managed to find on the web kind of contradicts or confuses me altogether.
The most confusing is cheese and i am hoping you can help me with this as one of his favorite foods is pizza.Some of the sites says mozzarella is lactose free and others say its not.The dairy free cheese we have managed to find is very bland and not very nice.

Any information you could give me would be gratefully appreciated.

Many Thanks . Look forward to hearing from you

Debbie

Hello Jamie!

We have just been to your italian restaurant in London. Great service and wonderfull food! The ITALIAN BREAD SELECTION was fabulous! Would you share the recipe for the (what i think was) chiabatta? It was so soft, spongy and dellicous.

Thank you so much,
Trannoc
