Cookin'

[Dandie1992]

Anyone on here fancy themselves as a bit of a chef at hame? Or are you all just cairy-oot and microwave box boys?

[tup]

I only eat fresh food, prepared by myself mostly.

 

Anything pre-packed is simply shite not to mention seriously unhealthy.

[daytripping]

I'm a dab hand at cooking, do a mean chow mein in the wok, fridge to plate in around 8 minutes.

[daytripping]

Spag Bol is another speciality, love it but the other doesn't, means I don't have it so often.

 

I even made a tomato and apple chutney earlier this week, the greenhouse was overflowing with toms so it was to get rid of them, have enough to last me for Months.

 

I did think when I was cooking up the chutney that my old casual mates would have found it a hard scene to comprehend, once a leader of men on the front line, now a cook of chutney.

I can make a mean Pot Noodle. No Microwaves or Take Aways for me, the kettle is where it's at.

[daytripping]

 

Lovely in cheese and ham sandwiches, it's quite sweet but simply tastes divine.

[looksgoodinred]

i can cook, bake and preserve well enough. no one's ever starved in my care and i'm not a microwave box boy.

[GK55]

Aye im nae bad at the ol' cooking.

I think daytripping has been kidnapped by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, somebody alert the authorities.

[amancalledbuck]

I'm amazing at cooking.

Can you make curry from scratch amancalledbuck?

 

You should try it, it takes forever, is frustrating as fuck, and the end product renders your hours of toil pointless, as it tastes at best reasonable without the magical MSG used by fly-as-a-bag-of-ferrets staff in Indian takeaways.

Piece of piss.

 

Loads of onions and plenty of salt, that's the secret.

[tup]

Salt, MSG, same thing really.

 

Bad news, very.

[tup]

I did not say I only eat mince, haggis and tatties.

 

I'll have you know you can add neeps to that list.

[tup]

I wonder why they don't use corned beef or spam or red pudding or polony in Indian takeaways, it's always beef, chicken, pork or lamb, with the odd prawn or some other pish chucked in, bit of variety wouldna go wrong, Red Pudding Tikka Masala sounds lethal.

[tup]

Localise it, specialise in locally sourced ingredients, for instance:

 

Deep fried Macaroon bars.

 

Cream of Irn-Bru soup.

 

Beef and Skullsplitter Pie.

 

Dauphinoise clapshot.

[SkyeDon]

Average at best, usually leave it to others!

[looksgoodinred]

Amazing? Are you available for hire?

[ollie1903]

Terrible.

 

I once set a bag of popcorn on fire in the microwave.

 

I really want to learn.

 

Mrs O is a fantastic cook though.

[dervish]

Think I set a bag o' popcorn on fire before too.

That said not gonna lie, I'm not bad. DIY pasta/bread etc. etc.

[dervish]

Just made these bad boys (brunch of kings), banana pancakes with bacon and strawberry sauce. Looks showy as fuck but easy as shit to make.

 

 

[CrazyBullSheep]

I'm nae a bad cook

 

Make a good chilli, spag bol and make a mean steak n chips, Jams and chutneys are a skill i have picked up. Started making my own breads too Pizza dough for the kids they love it

 

Do a lot of BBQing too but the wife will tell ye I'm a wee bity anal with my grill

 

Although Baked cheesecake is my speciality done in my aga fuckin magic

[stef]

Living on my own, I just can't be arsed cooking for myself.

 

I used to really enjoy cooking and the folks that ate my stuff always complimented me, even him.

Sounds outstanding

 

How are agas to use? Does it make a difference to stuff you cook in it?

I notice a big difference it tastes a lot better and makin shit like merengues is pretty easy in the slow oven

I do a pretty good slow cooked curry too which you cant really do in a normal oven.

 

As for using them they are on all the time so no need to pre heat. only thing is you dont use the tops like a normal hob coz it loses heat quite fast so if boiling spuds you bring it to boil then chuck it in the oven to finish.

 

Cheesecake recipe is Nigella's I think canna really mind

[looksgoodinred]

i would happily sell what's left of my soul for this beauty, plus a wall oven and warming drawer.

[zander]

Whipped up nae a bad portion o chips cheese and gravy accompanied with some tomato sas and vinegar.

[dervish]

I'm a legend in the Scullery, whip up some great Thai food, some cracking Italian dishes and puddings, well my Lime Cheesecake is a fucking winner.

 

Hey Bullsheep, making fucking Meringue is easy using any cooker laddie, fucking egg white and sugar!! Dinna get carried away with yer aga skills eh!

 

Look at ourselves next it'll be cooking scraps, "ma da can cook better than your da" "away and shite your da dinsa even use seasonal ingredients" "ats it , it's fucking on now... get out the camping stoves".

[dervish]

Never been happy at having such curly pubes. I had a question and "ghds" gave the answer.

 

I wonder if I gave my pubes a goatee used self tanning products and that if I could win "king prick"?

 

To be fair that's a ludicrous statement I've no idea how to fashion a goatee into pubes.
