Lucifer says, "fillet steak is very nice but every now and again you fancy a burger."

To be honest I'm with you on that one, although I prefer ribeye myself.

Lucifer's second saying: "you have to eat so you may as well eat well."

I did stuffed hearts last week. Very tasty even though I say so myself.

Top hyperD tip: When cooking duck (whole), collect the oil - it makes great oil for frying chips or roasting potatoes.

Aha! "duck 'n' chips", so it was you!

Coffee machines

Has anyone got a proper espresso machine at home. I like the idea of having proper coffee at home

I've got one of these, the La Pavoni Europiccola...

Makes a cracking cup of espresso and has a good steam attachment as well, but you have to treat it like a beautiful woman, "not a machine for the dilettante" as one review I read said.

Very nice but also very expensive >£250.....................

I have been looking at Krups or Gaggia but some of the Krups don't get a particularly good review.
