  Peter H. asked:

  By email : Hi there I have a few food shopping questions I hope someone can help me with. Cream: Where can I buy double cream for cooking (or an approximation of it). Beef: I'd like to do roast beef. What are some good cuts to get from the supermarket or butcher? Potatoes: which are best for roasting? Yoghurt : Can I get Greek Yoghurt in the supermarket. I'm new here and finding my feet. Thanks! Bernie

  For double cream, this French lady confirms that the best replacement is a mixture of Mascarpone and "crème". It's a long article, but at the bottom she finally reveals the secret: " Conclusion : une option acceptable est de mélanger du mascarpone (triple crème) à de la crème -liquide ou épaisse, c’est une question de goût. 250 g de mascarpone, 30 cl de crème, et roule ma poule ! Un petit plus quand même pour la crème épaisse, dont la touche d’acidité sauve le mascarpone de la fadeur et nous rapproche quand même un peu plus de l’original." http://www.esterkitchen.com/decouvertes/produits/par-quoi-remplacer-la-double-cream-des-recettes-anglo-saxonnes.html
