Free online foodie makeover

Hello,
I'm the food editor on allaboutyou and I thought it'd be really useful and fun for users to get the benefit of our brilliant food consultant Emma Marsden (Good Housekeeping Cookery Editor for five years). If any of you would like to answer the following five revealing foodie questions on this thread, Emma will respond with five brilliant suggestions for taking your cooking (and eating) up a notch. Recipes and food ideas spill from Emma at every available opportunity (she's a bit clever that way!). We will publish your answers and her suggestions on a food feature as soon as we can.

The five revealing foodie questions
1 – What is the dish you fall back on when you’re in a tight foodie spot?
2 – Name one of your favourite ingredients?
3 – Name your favourite kitchen gadget
4 – What’s your most used storecupboard ingredient?
5 – What food do you love but think you could never create

I'll go first...

1 - pasta with cheese sauce
2 - sweetcorn
3 - my handblender (so so good!!!)
4 - tinned tuna
5 - strawberry cream puff (yum!!!)

Bye for now
Carol
