Contact us using the details on page 3 STAR LETTER YOU’RE INVITED… Back in October, we celebrated the Jewish New Year at home – 90 people came to lunch and we ate all sorts of traditional foods. The only ‘bought’ item was the coleslaw – I made everything else myself. Each year I like to add something new, so I made your Jammie Dodger blondies (September). Next, I’ll make the fish pie in coconut for Shabbat dinner in the synagogue.

KIDS IN THE KITCHEN ‘My mum Jo said I should send in this picture of my rendition of one of your recipes – salmon and broccoli spaghetti. It tasted great!’ AMELIE, HERTFORDSHIRE WINNER APPLE GNASHERS ‘As a leader for Girlguiding, I often look to Sainsbury’s magazine for seasonal ideas and recipes for my Rainbow and Guide units. Last week our Guides had great fun making your applegnashers.’ KERRY,HAMPSHIRE SILVERLININGS After many years of big, noisy family gatherings, I was feeling sad at facing Christmas with only the two of us – until I read the recipe for veggie tarte tatin (November). I had to smile at the idea that, for the first time in a long while, I would have leftovers. Thank you for finding the silver lining in my little clouds. JANETTE, YORK THOUGHTFULLYDONE I loved the article ‘25 ways to be a thoughtful foodie’ (September). Like many people, I am placing far more emphasis on sustainable eating and I thought this was so inspiring. My absolute favourite tip was the ‘eat me first’ box. Such a simple concept that works brilliantly. Since introducing it, I have almost eradicated food waste. ALISON, SUFFOLK TO THE RESCUE Some weeks ago, I contacted your Cookery Team to ask if they could help me find a lasagne recipe you published years ago. I’d managed to lose it after a couple of house moves, and couldn’t find it anywhere online. So I wrote to them with a few vague ideas of the title and ingredients and was completely surprised when they wrote back to me only a few days later with a copy of the long-lost lasagne recipe, having trawled through print and digital archives dating back to the year 2000. So I set about making it again and it was absolutely lovely… just as I remembered. Thank you!

The cake was delicious but it’s so sad that the tree is no more.’ LINDA, NORTHUMBERLAND C’ESTMAGNIFIQUE I live in France and thought your ‘Très Français’ menu (October) looked perfect for entertaining my neighbours. But on second thought I decided a more English menu could work. So, I cooked beer and Marmite-braised beef with horseradishdumplingsfrom October 2019 followed by lemon steamed puddings from February 2014. It was an instant success and my French neighbours have now borrowed my old magazines for recipes, so I’m pleased I kept them! SARAH,NORMANDY 9
