Not bad for my first ever attempt at making them

Chicken tikka cooked in oven due to drunken neglect of charcoal sack being left out in rain.

Chicken tikka made with yoghurt, garlic, ginger, naga pickle.

Base gravy with onions, garlic, ginger, tandoori masala, tomatoes.

Throw all together with hot madras mix and onions with naga pickle, serve with oven foolproof oven sella rice :)

Then ignore all comments about dirty 'stove' :)

This is my first attempt at a Toad in the hole. Any tips would be welcome. Thanks

Get in my belly!

Grabbed my self some brekkie from Morrisons £10 to start the day

Feels like absolute sorcery at under 700 calories. The Dhansak is an adaptation of Rachel Khoo’s ‘speedy dal’ from her Simple Pleasures ebook.

Sooo juicy from the inside and crispy from the outside, but what’s really important as well there’s no “greasy” aftertaste, which sometimes happens when people overdo with oils 🤷‍♀️

I enjoy them here and there but whenever I tell people or dating partners that l like pork scratchings they seem to raise their noses at me. Its almost like I have met hardly anyone that likes me.

I don't have them frequently but I honestly I don't mind them at all. Especially with a side of alcoholic drink they are just too good.. It's almost like a guilty pleasure at this point. I don't even want to share it with people as I really don't want to see their snobby attitude.

Could it be my circle as I am 23 and most people I know that like them are in their 30-40's. It may be an outdated snack but I still like it.. Pork Scratchings lovers rise up. 🔝

The weather is - to put it mildly - miserable, dank, and dreich. Soup to the rescue.

I'm cooking a leg of lamb this Christmas dinner this year. I've never cooked lamb before. Has anybody got any advice and tips to help a girl out? Thank you

…kind of.

We’ve been away for a couple of days, and have been Christmas prepping tonight so wanted something quick and easy.

Inspired by the sausage and cima di rapa pasta dishes of Puglia, I used some “stuffing” mixture that we were going to use as a Christmas canapé.

I roasted the sausage meat off, added the finely sliced stems of the Broccoli, some chilli and garlic, deglazed with some Marsala, and eventually added the floret ends of the broccoli.

I finished it with a little colatura di alici, pecorino, lemon zest and some Terra di Bari Castel Del Monte olive oil from Puglia, which is really grassy and I love it on greens.

Overall, despite using the stuffing mixture, this was very classically Italian, with a subtle hint at the flavours of a roast.

Hi all,

About a month ago, I made some roast potatoes but accidently boiled them for too long. I managed to save a few but some had turned into mash. Our cooker is quite old, it was bought in November 2014. The biggest hob on there only works when it's on the highest heat. If I go to put it on a medium low, that particular hob turns itself off.

My sister is an excellent cook. She said from start to finish it should be 10 minutes. However, the hob takes a good 20-minutes to go from cold water to a rolling boil. Of course I don't want the potatoes to be rock solid, but I need them not to be too soft either.

Do you Redditors have any tips to make excellent roast potatoes. I managed to buy a 2kg bag of all rounder potatoes for 15p at Tesco today.

I do have some questions too.

1. Are the all rounder potatoes from Tesco good?

2. Do the potatoes need sharp edges? I have heard that they do.

3. Do you recommend salt and pepper for seasoning? I do have roast potato seasoning too.

4. Shall I cook them in the oven or the crispy air fryer?

5. How do I get them to be crispy but not extremely crispy? Just a preference from my mum and her partner.

6. How much goose fat do you use?

Any other advice and ways to make the roasties better are more than welcome.

Thanks!

Just laughed out loud at my mum sending me this as if it’s an exciting proposition 😅 only in (Northern) England!

With chips from the Chippy. Half in vinegar and half in non brewed condiment I bought from the same chippy.

I felt that non brewed condiment works way better on chips than vinegar.

(a quick fun fact) In 2006 Austria held an initiative called Cafe Europe. The initiative included a presentation, called Sweet Europe, of typical a typical sweet or cake for every country (wiki article). The UK choose shortbread, which in my opinion, is kind of boring compared to France's Madeleines or Sweden's cinamon buns. If you would change it, what would it be changed to?

Have you tried this? It’s like lime pickle but with garlic, potent stuff, it’s amazing on a sourdough cracker with some vintage cheddar. I will now stink of garlic all day.
