I've lately been going into the kitchen and tossing up a few things and everything i've cooked has been really tasty . Up until only a couple of weeks ago , i was a pot noodle or beans on toast type of cook , now i fancy myself as a bit of a galloping gourmet . Remember him ?

Love gettin in the kitchen and russelling up different dishes.
even made me own xmas cake with leftover fruit grog from Damson Gin and Xmas Spiced \Vodka didnt bother with marzi/icing as not keen only took about 15 mins prep. Roasted Red pepper tomato and red onion soup in a slow cooker with herbs then you have a soup/pasta/bolognese sauce and home made pizza topping instead of puree. 1 thing i dont bother with is making own pastry pain in @rse when yer can get ready rolled for around 80p. Had cinnamon/fig and dates(xmas leftovers) pancakes this morning bang it all in a blender eggs/flour and milk jobs a goodun |

Good on you, 'Culvin'. Always satisfying, if not a chore; much healthier and cheaper too.
I hope your takeaway tastes nice, and from a 5* outfit 'Baphornet'. |

This lunchtime, I chopped up 3 leftover sausages and one mushroom and put them in a tupperware container with a tin of beans. Microwaved for a couple of minutes.
Put a slice of bread in the toaster and had the lot on toast. 5 minutes. |

There was a "Hell's Kitchen" episode where this useless chef had things on his expensive menu he'd never even made ONCE in his life!
Ramsay said .. "so what if someone asks for it"? Chef's reply: "I'll go on the internet and see how to make it" So Ramsay asks for one, chef is in the kitchen on his mobile trying to understand what the hell to do from a youtube video :) |

Recipe of the day for you simpletons out there.............Must pea curry.
One tin chopped tomatoes One tin baked beans Two tins of mushy peas Two tablespoons of curry powder One onion Dice the onion (one for you Aspro) then fry. Once that's done add all the ingredients together and heat up. Cook some rice and there you go. |

Cooking is an essential skill, and always satisfying, and therapeutic.
Aside from making a so called "Full English" breakfast, that was me before having my very first Chinese lunch! I liked it so much, that I just had to recreate Fried Rice, which was a totally new experience. No internet to search for inspiration, but just by trial and error, and I got satisfyingly close, and that's where it all started for me. Many years later I was introduced to Indian food, by a rep that had lived there for some time, and he recommended a "Mixed Meat Biryani" as a good introduction. Now that was sensational to me, at the time, and again I just had to try to recreate it, but without the help of any recipes or advice! Find a simple recipe, or several for inspiration Keep it simple to begin, and don't initially buy all the spices, but just get a jar of curry paste, such as "Madras" (you don't need to use much, and it keeps for a long time)! You will have to be seriously cr@p for it to be inedible! Main thing is to use "Basmati Rice", and not to over cook it! Typing this, I'm reminded that there was a member on here, who had an excellent, and well supported cookery thread, that ran for quite a long time. Might be able to recover it if anyone can remember who it was. |

I really like cooking and preparing food properly. I'm not good chef/cook by any means but I always use the best ingredients and most importantly I never overcook things and most people seem to say that I do a fair job of producing tasty grub.

To cook a decent curry is not as difficult or cumbersome as one might envisage - the key ingredient is the base ie finely chopped onions (and browned). Then add a tablespoon of ginger and garlic paste each; a couple of tablespoons of Patak's korma and tikka masala paste (or a pot each) and 5/6 cardamons pods; finally, add just a touch of honey. Bring to a simmer before adding the meat eg chicken thighs, lamb or beef; 20/30 mins - longer for lamb - it will be done.
If cooking a larger quantity for 6 (or more) or freezing a slow cooker (low setting) is another marvellous way of making a tasty curry especially meaty ones with bones; cook for about 4 hours (2 hrs more for lamb) - the meat will fall off the bones. If adding sweet potatoes/potatoes add after 2 hrs; a tin of sliced pineapple with juice will give it a tangy flavour. I use the above method every time and it has served me well. It's also healthier, cheaper and tastier than takeaway or shop-bought; no preservative or excessive salt or sugar. |

That was some main meal Culvin. Think I'll give it a miss though.
My wife used to make a great curry but without the onions, she doesn't like them. |
