most men are dire cooks its true
so lets be having simple easy receipies for us men ,so that we can eat to a better standard
pot noodle announced today a 10 million spend on getting rid of additives and making pot noodles a more attractive proposition
Am I such a rarity then, being a man who's quite happy to cook and capable of producing something edible on a regular basis?
We had roast organic free range chicken with dairy-free mashed potatoes, sauteed leeks & mushrooms, and proper home made gravy last night. I can't say any of it was particularly complex or involved. I'm not sure what I'm cooking tonight, but I suspect it may involve chicken stock, as there's a carcass in the 'fridge that's begging to be boiled up for a couple of hours with a carrot, an onion, and a bundle of herbs.
and your address is ?
same here love cooking
always experimenting

myself, i'm a damned fine cook...anyone fancy steamed sea-bass, in a lemon, butter and parsley sauce.?????
Up with the cooking - couldn't boil an egg until about a year ago....but got over that and now love it, always creating new things - bring it on!
Nothing finer than being in the kitchen with a bottle of wine or beer and producing something tasty to eat!
Chicken stuffed with sunblush tomatoes & fresh herbs drizzled in oil, with garlic roasted salad potatoes and simple side salad, mmmmmmmmm
making my own mouth water....hehehehe

1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup raw washed wild rice

Get Delia Smith's How to Cook books, read, practice and understand.
Then start working your way through other food authors looking for ideas and inspiration. My culinary influences would probably include (in no particular order):
Madhur Jaffrey
Ken Hom (if you can find a copy 'Cheap Chow' is a great cook book)
Hugh Fernley-Whitingstall
Rick Stein
Jamie Oliver (not often, but occasionally he does something I think is really cool)
Start with something simple, extend your repertoire as you gain confidence and experience, and don't be afraid to experiment (within reason).

Well my outlook on cooking is if god wanted us to cook he woulsn't have invented freezers and micro waves
out the freezer into the micro, jobs a good un :thumbup:
I was always told that the first and most important thing to master in cooking is a good white sauce - and from there the world is your oyster (or mussle as this thread has made me out and buy some so i can be creative this evening!)

Just about my limit of culinary expertise as well.
I have actually burnt a boiled egg redface (well I did put the pan on and then went onto SH and forgot all about it, until, well, the smell is awfull wink )
I've been watching this and I'm a bit bored waiting for a computer technician to call so I thought I'd put this in.
I'm a big fan of "one pot" cooking. I do a very tasty corned beef hash. When I do a more traditional meat and veg then I tend to do it in the oven all at once. That's like "one-pot" as well, yes?
But somewhere in this thread I was irresistably reminded of P G Wodehouse - I've just been to look it up:
"I was so darned sorry for poor old Corky, I didn't have the heart to touch my breakfast. I told Jeeves to drink it himself."
