Thanks for that, off to have a browse through the site, really like Tony Singh's other recipes too - like Easy Thai Chicken Soup.

Tonight I am making HM pepperoni pizza- I have the cold though and am worried it will taste bland so might sprinkle some chilli or paprika into the tomato sauce to make it a bit spicier .

Good website, thanks for posting, I've saved it in my favourites.

Ello, a couple of nights ago I put a couple of chicken breasts in the oven and covered them with mozarella cheese which melted nicely over them. 10min before done put a couple of slices of tomato on top of the melted cheese and sprinkled some mixed herbs on top of that.
Served on top of a bed of Taglatelie along with Sainsbury (though I'm sure any brand will do) original pasta sauce mixed in. Was very nice.

Thanks for the replies about the magazines, I think i'll sort it out tonight, the vouchers have been stuck on my fridge for long enough now!

I'm trying pesto for the first time tonight with some pasta. Hope it's nice.

Hey everyone i just started my own challenge which is basically the same as this, so hopefully some one will delete it for me. Can i join you all? I got lots of cookbooks over xmas and should start using them. Think i am going to be making either Finger-licking chicken wings or nigellas sticky ribs on the weekend for my new recipe. Am going to start reading the 18 pgs of this thread now so i may change my mind about my new recipe for the week.

Am up to page 3 so far, am trying to read while cooking the dinner and have got some great ideas so far. Glad to have found people just like me who enjoy the books, programmes and recipes but tend to stick to the same dishes.

Thought i would post the new dishes i have tried since the start of the year

1) now i make my own bread rolls - got a breadmaker at xmas
2) Stilton Twists to use up my xmas cheese - http://www.stiltoncheese.com/recipes_/starters/1/stilton_twists/4/
3) Wensleydale with Cranberries & Apple Cake to use up my xmas cheese and it sounds weird but the cake was yummy http://www.wensleydale.co.uk/cheeses/recipes/real_yorkshire_wensleydale_with_cranberries_apple_cake

BTW can i use bbq sauce instead of worcestershire sauce?

Hi skaps - those Stilton twists look so easy and sound lovely............so have some Stilton in the freezer :cool:...will be trying those.

They are easy and taste nice too even if you dont tend to like stilton. Basically they are the same as cheese twists. When I made them the OH ate them all the same day! Let me know what you think.
