the takeaway secret

Kevie192

I got this book around October time but didn't actually get round to using it until now!

Yesterday I made the banana muffins and they are YUMMY... Also made the doner kebab and popped it into the fridge for tonight. Cut it up tonight and served in a pitta with salad and wedges on the side. I made both the red and white kebab sauces too and I must say the whole thing was delicious. So so tasty and MUCH better than a takeaway because I know exactly what went in there.

We had the Mega burgers tonight, very tasty although not quite the exact taste of a Big Mac but very close. Hubby gave it 9/10 while the donner kebab was 10/10.

Not read the recipe yet but I know that for a real Mac you have to have the BM sauce, finely chopped onion, pickle (2 slices) lettuce, cheese, burger.

Oh I too got the book with a survey reward voucher. Not used it yet but hopefully it will be good. Bit burger heavy for me I prefer an more asian food slant, but we will try some of them.

I make a very heavy on the onions, french onion soup but blend it rather than leave it as is. It works as well as curry/sauce base. I usually cook it in a huge pot in the oven (onions and butter/oil) then ad stock and blend. SAves faffing around on the stove top. Not tried it in a slow cooker yet.

There is a recipe for the sauce in the book, think that is what doesn't taste quite right, was still really nice and very close to the real thing.

We shall have to experiment in the kitchen see what we can acheive.

Had a hard time in Germany recently and all the kids where missing "English" food so treated myself to a copy. Can't wait until it arrives after reading the thread...

I don't eat McDonalds too often but I used to a few years back... IMHO the sauce is spot on... would be interesting for someone to do a side by side blind taste test.

Where can I find onion powder, I looked with all the jars of herbs and spices as presumed it's be there but couldn't see any??
