Cooking

Who here enjoys cooking?

I love it, but I can't make that many things at the moment.

I was just wondering if anyone has any good recipies/instructions for making tastey dishes.

I just made Cauliflower cheese, which isn't to difficult if you can make cheese sauce, I have also made beef curry before, and quite often bash together pasta sauces, but thats about all I can manage.

I really want to be able to make pie! Pie is brilliant!

Easy as pi.

Pie's pretty easy is it not?
Just google a pastry recipe and fill it with whatever you want.

We do a lot of baking but as far as cooking goes, we've decided to be starving artists this year so no more big trips to Tesco, just living on rice crispies and noodles/rice with whatever we've got in the fridge. I do really want to learn some good recipes for when I have kids/grandkids though. I also want to learn to sew for the same reason.

I love cooking! Probably helps that I like eating also. Made a fish pie yesterday, that was amazing, not really tried other kind of pies though, I should give it a go...
My flat mate was actually telling me a few days ago that she told her mum she would never need to learn how to cook as long as she lives with me, I guess that was sort of a compliment
Baking is good also... banana and chocolate muffins are made quite a lot

send me a banana muffin?

i can fry an egg, beat that

Haaaa!

To be honest I still find mastering frying an egg difficult, when getting it out the pan I quite often brake the yolk, WELL ANNOYING! Hard Boiled eggs are awesome, infact so dippy boiled eggs....

If you bring us banana and chocolate muffins to our sonic boom six gig at the cockpit in october Ill totally let you in for free.

frying an egg isnt so hard, but boiling the perfect runny eggy is tough. i've mastered it now using a particular pan at home but if i were to use different one i'm not sure if the timing would work...

i really like baking but i dont do it often. dont really like cooking real stuff cause i struggle to think of ideas. i bash together decent pastas i think though, but they always look a mess!

eek, I burn pasta. My culinary skills leave an affa lot to be desired!

That sounds like a mighty good deal! But then I'd be known as the girl who brought muffins to a gig... Haha.. How many would I have to bring?

As for the eggs, fried eggs are easy... omelettes on the other hand are evil, I always destroy it when I flip it over

Oooh! How does everyone like their eggs? Scrabbled for me, oh yes!

By the way, if anyone ever has a single or album launch in Glasgow, you will get cupcakes. It's basically tradition.

my egg preference is any egg with the yolk still runny for supreme dipping!!

Runny poached eggs and hash browns is my all time favourite breakfast.

I love cooking. I was going to start a cookery thread but I didn't have any interesting recipies to share at the time. As long as I have enough cashew nuts I'm fine.

When Jake and I start our pioneering Soupcore band, we will come to Glasgow and dip your cupcakes!

Soup punx unite!!1!
I made my own pea soup not long ago, cant beat it.

Also, Id love to dip christina's cupcakes. [/lameinnuendo]

Since I'm vegetarian I'm obliged to cut open and fill it with rice/cous cous/quinoa etc and other stuff.

Cous cous is the most irritating word (term)...damn I hate it so much I can't go on. Sorry.

I went into the butchers the other day and he had meat hanging from the ceiling on those meathook things. He said to me, "I bet you a tenner you can't take the meat off the ceiling."

I said, "I'm not betting, the steaks are too high."

haha, thats just one of those jokes that are so obvious they're funny

Haha!! Repped for that one! My brothers a butcher, its well good... get really good meat for cheap cheap cheap... And I don't think we've had to pay for a christmas turkey in like 10 years or something!
