Just in case you haven't seen the trailers for the series, Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers starts tomorrow at 7.30pm on BBC1. Might be worth a look. :dunno:

I heard this, looking forward to it.

Loving this thread by the way - being a complete girl in the kitchen (no offence to you girls) it's nice to join in!

And to our friend from Luxembourg - a classic! chuck some parsley in though!

:o You can't talk like that! After all, most top chefs are blokes.

The more the merrier, I say!

You need to find a decent bloke who can cook!

Planning a chorizo stew with egg yolk ravioli later this week.

Praying that the pasta turns out well, or it could be a disaster.

Sounds nice. I am planning a chorizo pasta bake for tomorrow, but I am not making my own pasta!

Today, I am making this year's Christmas cake. Never made one before, and found a recipe that doesn't require treacle (what I don't use would end up sitting in the cupboard for ages....). I also found out that we have no rum or brandy, so had to improvise on the booze by adding amaretto. Seeing as this recipe uses loads of almonds, and I intend to marzipan and ice the cake, I could end up with cyanide poisoning at this rate!!

Nah, sounds great - you can never had too much almond. :D

In September?

Yes. It keeps, and every few weeks, you steep it with more alcohol, so come December it's aged and boozy. Bit like me. :ermm:

Been looking for Scotch Bonnets but haven't found any as yet.

I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food but have got loads better than I used to be.

Got some chilli's from my mum at the weekend from her greenhouse. She said the dogwent in and snaffled one once....soon dropped it and ran off after the first chew by the sounds of it ...would love to have seen that lol

I'm ok at cooking but I dont really enjoy it tbh, so good job my other half loves it I suppose

My specialities are all traditional /(boring?) :D - Spag Bol, Cottage pie etc...

Current favouries are stuffed peppers, cant stop eating them at the min :S

Just made Spag Bol, bit dry but no complaints so far from the family.

Should have thrown more red wine in it. :cool:
