hogmaw Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 For the past 20 years the microwave did most of my cooking but now I have a book called 'Cooking for Blokes' and it has changed my life. Would anyone care to swap recipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I absolutely love cooking, in fact I find it a great de-stresser. Always trying different things. Have you got yourself a steamer yet? if not cheapy tescos one is probably one of the best kitchen items to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I like making my own hot sauce I don't have a recipe particularly because i just wing it. but roughly my last batch was this. 4 very finely chopped "cherry bomb" peppers inc seeds 3 very finely chopped "scotch bonnet" peppers inc seeds 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon of water 1 tablespoon of oil A good shake of salt and pepper A decent dusting of mixed herbs A couple of twists of Nutmeg and i like to throw in a bit of Mace also My last batch before xmas i threw in some very finely chopped peperami. Gave it a nice meaty flavour or anything else i can find in the cupbords like tommy k Then put it in a little jar and leave it to stew in the fridge for a couple of days before putting it on chips or in pasta.

Guigsy Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 the cherry bomb ones arnt that hot i dont think more flavour. You only use it very sparingly. More than a drop on my finger is very hot indeed. thankfully hot things dont "backfire" on me I have some more in the cupbord thats even hotter that i got in the usa. Most Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of 100,000–350,000 Scoville Units.[2] For comparison most jalapeños have a heat rating of 2,500 to 8,000 on the Scoville scale. The cherry bomb is only about 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Cooking = Timing thats it really. Rubbish. Anyone can put something in for a set time. Mixing ingredients to taste. Experimenting with different ingredients, tastes and textures. That's cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Rubbish. Anyone can put something in for a set time. Mixing ingredients to taste. Experimenting with different ingredients, tastes and textures. That's cooking. Not at all. You prepare all the stuff and then cook it at seperate times until everything is ready at the same time, then you serve. Take a roast for instance the things you need to cook are easy. The idea is to get them all cooked correctly at one point so you can serve up! If you want to experiment with flavours and taste with culture recipes then thats different:) but general cooking is all about timing:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
