  • I also bought a book (2.99) yesterday. It contains 200 recipes and they all only need 4 indgreients, that's just up my street and some of the things look ok so I will try some of these out when I get the time.

    Hi,
    Could you please tell me what the cookery book is called? Recipes with only 4 ingredients sound right up my street.
  • And a tiny bit of paprika - or is that too many ingredients now?

    ah ah - I think i'll try the paprika next time it sounds yummy ;)

    Kirstyreanne - the book is called 200 Four Ingredient Recipes and it is by Joanna Farrow. I bought it from a bookshop called The Works in Llandudno but I'm sure there are plenty of these shops all over.

    I'd just like to say that I'm glad to be part of the chat forums. I have been reading them for months and months now and was frightened to post or reply to questions. But now I have it comes very easy. I think I was frightened of making a fool of myself but then again if we can help a moneysaver in need it doesn't matter :D

  • Good afternoon folks!

    I have really been busy this afternoon and in between cleaning I cooked a nice meal (well I thought it was) It was called potatoe and onion tortilla (it really a posh name for spanish omelette). It was quite time consuming but well worth it.

    Since I have been looking out for new recipes I have come across lots of recipes I would like to try, but as good advice given before - take it slowly and I will probably learn to enjoy cooking as well a stocking up on the herb and spices etc.

    OH really enjoyed his tortilla which really pleased me too. :j The only thing is now I have to go and clean the kitchen, maybe someone could give me advice on how not to make a mess :confused:

    the videojug website has some good "basic" dishes on it.
    I was trying to explain toad in the hole to an american friend and just ended up pointing them to the video of how to make it on that site.
