• Crustless Pizza

  Hi I just made this and iit looks nothing like the photo or description. It turned out like a giant Yorkshire pudding that was burnt on top and raw in the centre. Please tell me what I have done wrong and how to correct it - it looks like such a great and simple recipe, but I want it turn out like the one in the book! Thanks, Bea

• No Sour Cream For Cheesecake

  Hi! I live in a small Greek town and there isn't any sour cream or crème fraiche available in the shops. Could I use Greek yogurt as a substitute for recipes such as Nigella's Peanut Butter Cheesecake or the Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake? Thank you.   

  I can't get sour cream here in Portugal. I have substituted plain yogurt before now, but is this the best alternative? We do have wee boxes of UHT cream, would that be better for most things? Thanks, Carol Williamson

• Mugs and Cups

  Hello, team Nigella. Where can I find those cool vintage-looking green cups with the black trim along the rim from that Nigella uses? They featured in the Halloween green cupcake entry and the espresso cups were seen on "Nigellissima" in the episode that featured the Sambuca Kisses. Many thanks!
