I’d like to join in please. It’s all too easy to get in a rut and cook the same old same old. Tonight we’re having salmon with chilli ginger sauce from The Hairy Dieters, a charity shop buy before Christmas. It’s marinating now.

Over Christmas I made Christmas Gravlax with dill, treacle and cumin from their book 12 days of Christmas. It was fab and I’ll definitely make it again

So I’m counting those 2 and we’ll see how many I manage by next Christmas!

Hi downshifted :wave:

The salmon sounds delicious you will have to report back.

My first new to me recipe was James Martins Salmon Hash Browns ...I can highly recommend

Will be attempting something more ambitious after the seasons leftovers have reduced somewhat

Salmon with chilli ginger sauce was delicious and definitely on the make again list. I’d say cook the salmon for the shortest time possible as it kind of begins to cook in the marinade. We had stir fried broccoli and carrots and quinoa with it. Yum.

downshifted we have done the HB gravlax several times- it is scrummy, especially with potato salad / or cucumber pickle

Ill tag along if thats ok.?

I think I was part of the original thread from a few years ago and never really kept it up.

I have since been getting regular monthly gousto deliveries which we love!!

Not sure how much longer we will have them as they are quite expensive but we have got so many more dishes to add to our repertoire and have learnt new cooking techniques.

Have also got a few new cook books and really should go through them all marking the recipes I fancy trying.

Our newest books are Jamies five ingredients and we got a Jo Wicks book that has some wonderful pictures of food!

I especially like spicy food so that will be something high on my agenda hopefully instead of using the jars we currently use.

Got a Mary Berry cookbook for Christmas and determined to make good use of it. Started off with a Panang chicken stir fry (subbed breasts for YS thigh fillets making the chicken cost 17p) and it was delicious. Have enough for both of us to have it for lunch tomorrow as well!

I'm just searching for a moong dal recipe to try this week. I may need to buy some of the ingredients so need to check that before ordering the shopping.

We have decided that Friday nights will be curry nights so my girls are going to pick a recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's curry nation and we will all spend time making our dishes

I have a dhal recipe that has been well received on the 'what are you cooking for dinner tonight' thread (along with Islandmaid's flat breads :wave:)
I'm out all day today but can post it tomorrow if you like.
It was dictated to me by a lovely Indian lady who owned and cooked in our favourite beach shack in Goa.

ETA:
It uses red lentils

Yesterday I cleared out 6 recipie books that look beautiful but have just sat on the shelf for months (if not years!) and decided we were going to try to work our way through the £1 chef fast and fresh book. We’ve had a couple of lovely meals out of it last year and I’m looking forward to trying more. Yesterday we made chicharos which was simple and delicious (and cheap!). Tonight is a recipe I spotted on instagram ‘loaded Potato soup’ and is a cheap one as we had everything we needed except extra milk (which was on the shopping list anyway)

That would be lovely, Pollycat. Thank you
