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.
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
there a few thousand men chefs and a dozen super uber chefs
what about the other 23 million of us ?
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!)
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."
