Hot Tips

Making a cartouche

A cartouche is a circle of baking paper placed on top of a dish to prevent it forming a skin or drying out. To make a cartouche take a square of baking paper slightly larger than your pan, fold in half and in half again, keep folding the same way so that one corner remains the centre point of the paper. When you have folded it over a few times cut off the edge to form a circle.

Glossary

Quesadilla

(pronounced kay-sah-Dee-yah) A corn tortilla filled with cheese (always!) and a variety of other fillings can be added. It is folded in half and cook on a hot plate until crisp and golden on both sides.
