• Guinness

  I have all your cook books. The only thing that confuses is your being in the UK. I do not know what Guinness is. I do not know Marmite or vegmite is. I have never seen or tasted a Quince in the United States. So please tell me, what is Guinness? As far as I know, the other stuff I mentioned are not sold or known in the U.S.

• Chocolate Fondue Mixture - make ahead?

  My sister is getting married soon and would like Chocolate Fondues for dessert. I was wondering if it is possible to make these in advance and then heat them up at the individual tables to make them liquid again?
