Here you go:
Bacon Roast Chicken & Potatoes


I only used 1/2 chicken as only hubby and i for dinner kids were out

Thank you so much for the recipe. Sounds like it'll be fabulous and I've got 3 whole free range chickens sitting in the freezer from a recent farmer's market bargain offer so I'll portion up one of them to try this with.

Apologies for the delay in responding. This thread had dropped quite a long way down before I came back to check.

That's this week's something new sorted, and looks fairly healthy too.:)

Well its that time of year again and I need to do this challenge again. Total count of cookbooks bought/gifted that I dont need but will clearly have to use is 5 (not bad for me :rotfl:)

Got the Nigelissima one for christmas and I confess Im struggling to find something in it I fancy cooking but Ill keep looking

So for me its back to my challenge for January at least :)

I quite like the look of some of the veg dishes (roasted sprouts, potato, cabbage and tallegio mmmm) and the risottos (esp the farro one, and the pasta one)
I also got jamies 15mm, and kitchen diaries 2, both of which are looking good for new recipes

yeah i need another look through but Im not a massive pasta eater - still I will be cooking something different!

Love Jamie and the 15 min is the only one I haven't got but I must resist

I got Mary Berry's baking bible. There looks to be some delicious recipes in it - any recommendations on where to start?

I REALLY wouldn't resist the 15 minutes one. Its really good, got loads of recipes (all relatively healthy, less than 700cals I think) easy ingredients... Much better than 30min meals as no puddings etc to cook as well (we never have puds really) and all seem like would actually be cookable in 15-20 mins. (or a bit longer if you don't do the convenience stuff like ready cooked rice etc)

Sorry. I haven't helped you resist have I? :rotfl:

My son would like to cut his food bill. Mine for the two of us is under 40 and his is under 60. So I suggested to him that he looks in the freezer and picks three items or less. Then put in google recipes x+y+z. I am hoping this will work for him.

Well folks its been a while but its time for me to start this challenge again for myself. I have gained a whole load of new cook books since I last did this and a good years worth of Good Food mag to get to

Anyone up for a new year new cook book challenge

I will be deciding my plan after the madness of christmas
