Just recording a link to the recipes suggested for Intermittent Fasting following the Horizon Programmes on dieting

Thanks very much Sue. I'm back home now, so will soon be able to have a good look.

Yup! The Moroccan egg, to name but one! I was also interested to note that the it was suggested that the slimming days SHOULD be contiguous, which is the opposite of what I've read elsewhere.

Interesting, Suelle. I wonder why that should have been the case.

I don't intend to try them contiguous anyway.

Made the lamb and flageolet stew



Nice but a few observations

1) It looks nothing like the picture, as the volume of beans is about three times the volume of meat
2) The amount of stock is far too much, just add enough to cover
3) No idea why you'd cook it on the hob, I put it in a low oven
4) The pickling onions are nice but you could get away with wedges of ordinary ones I think

The end result was both tasty and filling though

Cooking something on the hob will require more liquid that something cooked in the oven - even with a lid on the evaporation is greater when cooking on the hob.
