If you have any comments or questions don't hesitate to comment either here on my blog or on the video, and I will do my best to answer.


Main findings and tips from my week so far:

• Between cooking your food, and having prepared each ingredient, it is likely to have lost alot of temperature.  I would therefore recommend that you either keep the plate in the (switched off but warm) oven, or microwave the food for 2-3 minutes before eating it.  
• Although some of the food might not look particularly appetizing,  it can still taste great.
• Stronger tasting food seems to be better, as food tends to lose some taste as it is blended.  
• Adding cheese improves fast and texture (especially good if you're on a fortified diet.)
• Both sweet and normal potatoes blend well and taste great.  They also pipe easily so can be made to look good 
•   Fruity or chocolatey drinks are the best when thickened. 
• Definitely allow more time for the preparating and serving of food and drink.   These meals have taken me double the normal amount of time to make.
