What are you best at Cooking?

My chica is a real lazy one so i end up doing all the damn cooking
slowly im getting more into the Recepies thing - maybe you have some simple excellent meals.

My Standards are;

Spaghetti Pesto - Spaghetti,fry bacon, spag done, throw in ready pesto + bacon, crunched garlic, peper, grated cheese.

Spaghetti Salmon - Boil Spag, cut salmon small (boil if necesaary), spag ready, throw in salmon bits, peper, garlic crunch, Some Cream, DILL, a little Blue cheese

more to come if of interest


Recepies please



No frozen foods etc pleash (yes that means pizza too)

Oooh without the garlic, that salmon pasta dish looks very appetising. Dill with salmon is gorgeous.

I only cook very simple meals, maybe beans on toast or Pasta with a tomato and herb sauce (which is a tin of tomoatos mixed with some dried herbs :unsure: )

Cooking isn't my forte :(

Don't get me started!!!!

I do all the cookin', wouldn't have it any other way.

I do surinam, thai, carribean, cajun, etc, etc.....

A daily culinary jewelry, or no meal atv all.

If you like cooking, it will taste that way........

If you don't, leave it.

But i bet you will notice when you did your best!!!!

Now there's a reward you like............



YoCuli

I would recepies please - cauze im bored of my own food
everyone has a different style. (and no i dont want to open a book)

Two things that are Rediculously Easy if you have tons of friends over - and its sensational

Do these 2 at the same time

Get White & Red Wine
(and no you dont need to 60s standard fondue "set"

Cheese Fondue-buy a few paks of ready cheese fondue, french baguette, smear pot with garlic, shoove in Cheesy paks, peper heat up, stir all the time - in meantime heatup bread - cut bread in small pieces. get tons of forks, tea lights and some kkind of stand to put on on-serve

Meat Fondue - get different types of meat, chicken, vegetables - pot with good olive oil, heat up oil, cut meat and veggies into pieces - serve pot on candles (use old tableclothetc it gets real messy)

Cottage Pie, Sweet & sour chicken and spaghetti bolognaise

chicken curry jaipur

1 4lb stewing chicken, cut up.
3c hot water
2 1/2 t salt (use less)
3 peppercorns
1 onion, studded with 4 cloves (use few more)
1 small carrot
2 T butter
2/3 c minced onion
3 T curry powder (get a good brand)
1 c coconut milk
1/8 t freshly ground pepper
3T chopped crystalized ginger
1/4 t ground cloves
1 t chopped fresh mint or 1/2 t dried
1/4 c lime juice (fresh or roses)
1/2 c heavy cream

this next part is in my own words, Nat

1. Put the chicken in BIG pot with the water, 2t salt, peppercorns, onion and carrot. Cover and simmer for an hour.

2. Remove chicken from broth and cool. Reserve broth. Get all the chicken off the bones and cut into small pieces.

3. Melt the butter in LARGE pan (tht you have a lid to fit). Add the onions and saute til tender, not brown. Stir in the curry powder.

4. Gradually add the coconut millk and one c of the strained chicken broth. (I use a little more). Add the pepper, remaining salt, ginger, cloves and mint. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 min.

5. Add the chicken and continue cooking about 30 min more (til chicken is tender). Just before serving, stir inthe lime juice and then the cream.

6. Serve over rice, and serve condiments and chutney. (I hate chutney)

(I've served with chopped nuts, gold raisins, chopped apples, and shredded coconut for the condiments)
This is the best recipe. I love it.

i cant reaaly cookbut teh gf makes teh bestest spg bol

My Supah Lumpah:

Deep fry chicken-legs with heaps off lemongrass and some garlick and soysauce.

Let them simmer for a while(30 min) and cool off.

Boil some thai-jasmin rice, pref. in chicken-stock with thai-basil and spring onion.

Get all the filet off the legs, slice it into small pieces and refry the meat shortly with

some sesame-oil and 5-spice chinese herbs and some freshly grinded ginger.

Make little "pancakes" of the rice on foil and fill them with the meat mix.

Keep the rolls in the fridge for a day.

Serve with some peanut-IKE-sauce and pineappleslices.

Thanks..... :)

I'll try it when my honey gets home..he just left for California for a week. I'll let you know.

I like preparing most types of 'difficult' meals. Sticking to the recipe.:)


There is nothing worse than preparing a special meal for the in-laws only to have them smother it in tomato sauce. Then again I married into culture. Agriculture.:rolleyes:

Other than the weekends, most of my cooking is done with an eye to easy because I am pretty tired from work.

Here is an easy one.

2lbs lean ground beef (form in loaf)
2 cans cream of musroom soup
I packet dried onion soup

preheat oven to 350

place ground beef loaf in pan.
put other ingredients on top.

*bake for 1.5 hours.

serve with fresh garden salad and veggies.


*while baking go to freezer. get out bourbon slush. partake


Bourbon Slush

4 C Water
4C Cranberry Juice
1 large can lemonade
1.5 cups bourbon (this recipe started at one cup---am known to add more)
2 cups brewed tea (very strongly brewed tea)
1 cup sugar (I don't usually add this much)

Freeze till slush.


wine works, too. :D

For a very tasty "healthy" meal.

Chop loads of veg into 1" sized cubes. The best veg are- red and green peppers, Aubergine(eggplant to you in the US) courgettes, mushrooms.tomatoes, and sliced onions.

Toss the whole lot in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a good sprinkle of Balsamic vinegar and roast in the oven at 200 c for about 30 mins.

Then put fish fillets on the top -Salmon, hake ,plaice or sole or anything you fancy as long as its not too thick. Cover with foil and return to the oven for another 15 mins.

Serve with new potatoes for the healthy option , but its great with the dreaded CHIPS !!

Chicken stew

Use any left over cicken from sunday lunch,pick it off the carcass,through the skin and bones into a pressure cooker with an onion some mixed herbs,produce a nice stock.
chop about 3 potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes,slice up an onion some carrots and any other veg you like,seive the stock and bring to the boil add the veg and chicken add some dried herbs,worcestershire sauce ,a couple of cicken oxos and 1 beef oxo,salt and pepper to taste,i also like to add a little pepper sauce sometime simmer for an hour or two,serve with some crusty bread ..yummy

Childhood Favourite.....

Easy mince...

1lb of lean beef mince
1 large onion
1 pint stock
1 teaspoon Marmite (optional)

simmer it all together in a pan for an hour or so

thicken with gravy browning of choice..I use bisto and cornflour mixed together....but each to their own...

Serve with leafy greens like cabbage
and creamy mashed potato

Taco Salad


1 pound ground beef
1 mediun onion
2 tbsp chili powder
1 cup picante sauce
1 can chili beans
1/2 pound velveta cheese Cheddar works too
Tortilla chips
lettuce
tomatos

brown beef with chopped onion and chili powder. Add picante sauce, chili beans and Velveta cheese. Stir ingredients together, simmer until cheese melts. Shred lettuce and chop tomatos. Spoon mixture over tortilla chips top with lettuce and tomatos.

I use mild picante sauce. For a spicier mix add more chili powder and use a hotter picante sauce.

I love cooking and I do all the cooking in our house (I live with my sister and her boyfriend) and a couple of nights a week I cook for friends or go round to their houses to cook for them. Tonight I'm going round to my good friend Andy's and he has a couple of his mates coming over, I'm going to cook them a Thai green curry...

Green Thai Curry
1 tablespoon of green thai curry paste (depending on how strong you like it) see below recipe
1 can of coconut milk
1 handful of mange tout
1 handful of baby sweetcorn
1 corgette
1 oz of galangal
1 teaspoon of muscovado or unrefined sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of light soy sauce

• add all of the other ingredients - you can use whatever veg you like, I just use my favourites
• bring to the boil stirring all the time and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 mins
• serve with fragrant jasmine rice and mango lassi

You can buy green thai curry paste ready made in shops but I prefer to make my own. I make loads in one go then freeze it in a icecube tray so that I have measured portions ready to use.

Green Curry Paste
15 small green chillies
4 garlic cloves
2 lemon grass stalks
2 lime leaves
2 shallots
2oz fresh coriander leaves, stalks & roots
1 inch piece of fresh ginger
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon of peeled lime rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons groundnut oil

• Put all the ingredients in a blender/food processor........ or........ grind them together with a pestle & motar

Great stuff, Brenda!!!! Yummy!!!

Ever tried using thai basil in those curry's???


Tha bomb!!!!!
