When in doubt, good old Bisto to the rescue! I made a roast chicken this evening and realized I didn't have stock for gravy. Lucky for me I found your recipe and I always have Bisto on hand. I didn't have stock cubes but it didn't matter as there was a load of pan juice for flavour. Thank you Wendy-Bob. By the way, love your recipes and I will be trying them soon. -
This is a great quick gravy. I used a beef stock cube and served it over grilled sausages and mash. Thanks for the recipe!

Aloha! I'm 29 years old and from the UK. My other half calls me his 1950's housewife because I just love to bake, preserve and cook in general! After studying catering at college I decided commercial cookery wasn't for me but I still like nothing more than discovering new dishes, throwing dinner parties and so on!
I work on the recruitment side of a quantity surveying consultancy about 25 miles north of London. I love my job. It's hard work but fast paced, challenging and my work day just flies by.
With regards to how I rate recipes, I try and keep it fair and to the system. I do my best to give no lower than 3 stars but will do on occasion if I made something as directed and it still ended up in the bin. I've never given 1 star but on occasion I'll leave no stars if I suspect something went horribly wrong. Most recipes get rated at 3/4 stars because 5 stars is reserved for spectacular recipes that become frequent users and a family favourite. Everyone has their own rating systems and that doesn't offend me. Rate my recipes as you see fit - I know what I like and what I don't and I'm here to fill my recipe book (filling anyone elses is merely an advantage), not to win a popularity competition or become chef of the year.
