I wonder how many are discovering or rediscovering the art of cooking. Can't remember last time didn't eat out or have a takeaway for more than a week. Not throwing owt away. Making soup out of leftovers. Not tried salad soup mindst.
Made guacamole tonight for the first time! Had some triple cooked sweet potato fries for lunch too. Both very easy and very spicer esq.
We do it all time.. Homemade pizza - owt left in fridge goes on, pizza base from scratch Curries - same, starting right with cumin seeds Homemade burgers - mince, onion, mustard powder etc Homemade bread - given Paul Hollywood book a few yrs ago so make quite a lot. What we hate is these bloody fair weather fans that's jumped on bandwagon, we cant get any flour

I love cooking and I love to cook proper meals when I have time. The problem at the minute is I'm struggling to get ingredients for some of my recipes.
You're doing very well for a man that exists entirely on pork pies if what I witness in the Mount is to be believed. Ps I don't know how the font has changed
Always stocked up on bacon Jud. Even afore panic buying took hold. Can’t remember last time I had a Percies Paul. Effing lockdown. Edit last home game. I only take 3 dozen to the game. I’ve heard the Redfearn’s lot kicked off. When Mr Blower. Had to stop buying em when the new caterers moved in on the Fan zone. Sacrilege.
Genuine question . How do you make your pizza bases ? We were going to give it a go. I reckon there's definitely a 'healthy' but tasty pizza if you whack plenty of veg on top.
It's quite fun making sure to use the last bit of everything to not throw it away. I made an apple crumble yesterday as we had a few apples that I would definitely have binned normally, a pad thai today to use up some spring onions that were starting to wilt, cheese and crackers yesterday with some slices of smoked sandwich ham that I chucked on top, chicken in passata with pasta the other day as we had about 200g of passata left from a 500g carton after making chicken makhani and normally I would have just got rid as I wouldn't have known what to use the rest with.
300g of flour 1 teaspoon of yeast 175 ml of tepid water 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1.5 teaspoons of salt Flour in first, yeast at one side of the bowl, salt at the other then the olive oil in the middle. Slowly pour the water in bit by bit and mix the ingredients, might not need the full jug of water. Once fully mixed tip out onto a floured surface and knead, now kneading - nowt to it as long as you stretch it and fold it back on itself (5 mins) leave to rest in the bowl covered with cling film for 1 hr. Tip ball of dough out on floured surface and press with your fingers to form a circular shape before rolling out. Roll it out thinly. Can be done without olive oil but it's not as stretchy. Pizza base topping - owt with tomatoes in it, tins or cherry with finely chopped garlic, onions. Topping - throw what you want on it.
I've been making bread, albeit with a bread maker. Have made loaves and breadbuns. This morning I made scones for the very first time. They turned out great, with jam and cream. Is this the new norm for us all ?
