    Cooking

    Post by scottus86 on Fri Sep 11, 2009 6:04 pm

    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!

    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 cyclops
    Baking is good also... banana and chocolate muffins are made quite a lot Razz

    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....

    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!

    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? Razz

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

    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.

    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.
