the takeaway secret

RacyRed

Oh nooooo! The food pics you have all posted look so yummy!

I need another cookery book like I need a hole in the head, but as the price is now £3.74 on Amazon, I just cannot resist this one.

Hi everyone

I bought this book a couple of weeks ago, and so far I have made:

Big Mac
Quarter Pounder with Cheese
Sausage and Egg Muffins
Chilli Chicken Chow Mein
Vanilla Milkshake

and I have been impressed - especially the muffins

I was wondering whether someone would be kind enough to PM me the ingredients for the sweet and sour chicken balls and egg fried rice, as I'm at work at the mo, and my books at home, and I really fancy these for tea tonight, and need to see if I need to buy anything extra!

Thanks in advance

Have PM'd you

I need to go out and get white vinegar and soy sauce for the sweet and sour. I think I'll get rice wine vinegar too - does mr Ts or Sainsburys sell it? Although I need white vinegar to put through my washing machine too!

Hi guys. I was a member of the forum a while ago and cant remember the sign up details so I started again lol. I just ordered this book yesterday and cant wait for it to arrive. I have a catering background and a few similar books to this. For those of you interested in the Mac d's recipes I followed the recipes for the burgers on this site and they were very close to the real thing epicconstructions. com/mirror/mcd/.

For KFC lovers this forum has some good recipes but it does take a bit of digging around. The recipe I use from that forum is near identical to KFC kfc.forumup.co. uk/index.php?mforum=kfc. If anybody cant be bothered to dig around that forum then I will post the recipe I use here.

I will be trying the kebabs first. I always wanted to know how to make the chilli and garlic sauce.

Sorry I had to disect the links as I am a new poster and cant post links

missjennipenni - your sweet n sour chicken looks fab, I can't wait to make that now as it's my favourite from Chinese. I'm doing the buffalo wings later.

I know Sainsburys sell it you could always ring your local store

I think B & M stores sell large bottles of rice wine vinegar for a couple of £'s, I will have a look tomorrow and post back.

I got my rice wine vinegar in our very small local tesco Its with all the other vinegars (balsamic etc)

Just as a warning, I used 2 chicken breats for the sweet & sour balls, and that was far too much for 2 people! I have enough leftovers to feed all 3 of my kids tonight. I think 1 chicken breast would be plenty for 2, and too much for one person.

grr i don't have a bank account so i can't order this book but it sounds fab, do yo think it may be at my local library?

has anyone tried the kfc recipe, everyone is going on about the kebab and muffins but not much other stuff has been mentioned, what other recipies are there?

it's available in from nottinghamshire library services, for anyone who's interested. mentioned about getting it (reserved) to my OH but he poo-poohed the idea as he got so used to my 'proper' homecooked meals as opposed to take away meals...:o.

but there are times when i could murder a KFC. I've tried a few southern fried chicken recipes, but none seem to hit the mark. is the book recipe the real deal then, or thereabouts? i luuurrrrvvve KFC's gravy:D anyone has the recipe, pretty :ppls?
