Unknown Fox Posted 8 June 2009 Posted 8 June 2009 I only used to cook at school, but since cooking is now my job I enjoy it much more at home, the skills I have learnt whilst working have really opened my eyes to the wonders of the cooking world, and the vast range of both ingredients and utensils within it! I did get slightly emotional when writing this if anyone was concerned!
JakeShingler Posted 9 June 2009 Posted 9 June 2009 I am having sausage and chips, mrs singh is cooking them!! But last night she made, mince meat (keema) curry poooooonjabi style, with chapati's and butter parontha's with a yogurt and salad side dish!! Mrs singh adds some spicy\masala peas and carrot to the dish to give it that extra flavour!!! I love cooking!! I love Keema Nans had one earlier £1-50 from the local currie house.
Guest Posted 9 June 2009 Posted 9 June 2009 The cake turned out nice, bit concerned it could be too dry, but I have iced it with choccy-fudgy icing, and it's now ready to go to mother. Just hope she likes it.

Guest Posted 9 June 2009 Posted 9 June 2009 I'm sure she will I got it in the car, the tin slipped and I ended up with a frigging chocolate cake on my lap.
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 9 June 2009 Posted 9 June 2009 You can't beat eggs (ha, see what I did there) for any number of quick and quality meals - especially if you have a couple of chickens in the garden! I don't do a bad omelette and my daughter loves a fresh boiled egg, but I don't think you can beat poached eggs. Best way to cook them - clingfilm. Spread a large square over the top of a mug and push down to make a dip. Crack your egg into the dip and then lift the edges of the clingfilm and twist together so your egg's in a little parcel (like a goldfish from the fair). Drop it into boiling water for 3 minutes or so until the white sets, untwist the clingfilm and serve. No mess, looks quality and if you've timed it right the yolk will spill out onto your toast (or whatever it's on) when you cut into it. I had some thick toasted bread, butter, sausage and tomato relish topped with a pefectly poached fresh egg on Sunday. Beautiful.
Katy Posted 9 June 2009 Posted 9 June 2009 I got it in the car, the tin slipped and I ended up with a frigging chocolate cake on my lap. Oh no!!!!! What did you do with it?
Guest Posted 9 June 2009 Posted 9 June 2009 Oh no!!!!!What did you do with it? Cried for about 5 minutes, put back into tin, cried for another 2 minutes, cleaned the crumbs from the car, took cake to mother, explained about the spillage, and she said the cake wasn't totally ruined, in her eyes, then had a slice with a load of cream.

Alls well that ends well then, sort of.

Guest Posted 26 July 2009 Posted 26 July 2009 I have a lasagne baking in the oven. Haven't made it in years, but managed to get the bechemel sauce cooked to perfection, so I have very high hopes for this effort.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 July 2009 Posted 26 July 2009 Despite the sexist comments earlier in the week suggesting us girls should be kept in the kitchen, I have to admit that I love cooking.Tonight, I think I might serve up chilli con carne. I make mine from scratch, and I fry a finely chopped onion, pepper and garlic, then some mince before adding some kidney beans. I use cumin and cayenne pepper to flavour, then add the secret ingredient; an Oxo cube. I then put in a small tin of tomatoes, and leave to simmer for 10-20 minutes, depending on how much time or how hungry we are! What about everyone else? A womans place is in the home. Thats where mother's should be. Most of todays modern mothers cop out, and go out to work, and don't spend time on decently bringing up their families, so that they can indulge in luxeries. This, to my mind is why todays children are basically so gross. I don,t expect todays so called mothers to agree with me , because they are mainly irresponsible and selfish. The modern idium is "Sod the kids, ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT I WANT! When I was a lad, mothers were real mothers, who lived a hard life, in order to bring their children up in a family envirement. When you have not experienced this , you would not have a clue. I cringe at what I see around me today. I have had four holidays in my lifetime, and they were fairly mediocre, but I do not for one minute, regret my way of life. Children first, parents second. Todays parents, on the whole, just don't have a clue as to how to bring up children. I know many through my work, many so called mothers who have to go to classes, to be tought to be acceptible, and responsible, and tought the word, LOVE. Oh God, how our values have slipped!
Guest Posted 27 July 2009 Posted 27 July 2009 A womans place is in the home. Thats where mother's should be. What about women who don't want or can't have children?
Guest Posted 27 July 2009 Posted 27 July 2009 Just made scrambled egg.What a chore. You shouldn't have swapped your mum for that car then.
Samilktray Posted 27 July 2009 Posted 27 July 2009 You shouldn't have swapped your mum for that car then. :laugh:
James. Posted 31 July 2009 Posted 31 July 2009 Big night tonight. Cooking a Lamb, chickpea and squash tagine with chermoula and couscous for Mrs James and myself. Never done anything like it and I need to go out and buy not just the food but some of the equipment (food processor!). Fuck it, it looks well nice and I can't be arsed to go out so a Friday night with red wine and a cooking session sounds about right.
Alexikokopops Posted 31 July 2009 Posted 31 July 2009 Egg poaching talk I have these, they're the fucking tits. Makes poaching eggs so much easier! bit of oil, whack the egg in, float on boiling water, put lid on, take out four minutes later, job's a good 'un Big night tonight. Cooking a Lamb, chickpea and squash tagine with chermoula and couscous for Mrs James and myself.Never done anything like it and I need to go out and buy not just the food but some of the equipment (food processor!). Fuck it, it looks well nice and I can't be arsed to go out so a Friday night with red wine and a cooking session sounds about right. Sounds exotic. I like tangines. By the well, tell me more about Tayyabs, I want to go. I know it's not home cooking but it seemed as good a place as any to ask!
