• Substitute for eggs when baking

  Hi could you please help me! my dad has turend Veg and whenever i make desserts he usually cannot eat them! So i would be really greatful if you could tell me what i could subsittute for egss in a recipe for baking! I've read to use milk but when it comes to measurements everything goes wrong! Please help! im sure this would be useful for a lot of your fans Thanks Nushani 

  One of my friends is allergic to eggs. There are plenty of egg substitutes around but my friend says they are all fairly awful. Some books recommend using bananas as a substitute in sweets and desserts but I was just wondering whether there is one really good substitute for eggs (preferably natural)? Regards Richard77

• Chocolate Brownie Bowls

  I am so disappointed. I bought 2 non stick 6 cavity desert shell tins and made the recipe but they have stuck even though I followed the recipe EXACTLY. Please help, I now have 2 useless tins and no prepared ahead pudding. Should I try freezing the remained stuck bowls and try to unmould when they are frozen? I can't tell you how unbelievably disappointed I am. They taste good but I just can't unmould them successfully. How does Nigella do it?
