• Watery tomato sauce (Turkey Meatballs)

  I made the Turkey Meatballs from the "Kitchen" cookbook and found that the sauce turned out very watery. I had added the 2x cans of chopped tomatoes and the additional 2x filled cans of water to the sauce but I found it lacked in taste so I had to add some pasta sauce to thicken it! Can you suggest where I may have gone wrong? I made sure I added the correct amounts of the other ingredients but found I was adding a lot more salt to make it tastier. Im not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem before? Many thanks Carly

• Basic cut-out biscuit/cookie recipe?

  Hi there, I'm looking to find a recipe that Nigella features in one of her tv shows for biscuits. During the programme she showed us her amazing cookie cutter collection, then went on to make simple biscuits using an array of shapes which her children and their friends then decorated with coloured icing. I have my neice and nephew coming to stay for Easter and thought it would be a fun couple of hours one afternoon with them, and give me the chance to use my new "easter bunny" cutter?! I wonder if you'd be able to point me in the right direction for his great biscuit recipe?? Much appreciated Sue
