"A pot of water, A large handful of 'soup mix' (Soup Mix being a mix of lentils split peas, barley etc) A bit of vegetable stock, a little bit of soy sauce, and buckets of fresh herbs, basil, parsley, rosemary, tyme etc... Lot's of Vegeatables. Really add what you want here, some things don't work (mushrooms for one) Carrots, parsnip, zuchini, onion, leek, potato, swede, sweet potato, beans, what ever it takes. I like to add a can of tomoto's as well. Do add pototo or leek or another thickening vegetable. Put it on the back burner of the stove and heat it for an hour or so everyday, Tastes really good around the third day. Keep adding more water and more vegatables as the pot gets emptied. If heated everyday, and there are no unseasonalby hot days a good pot of vegetable soup can last a long time, and become that perpetual soup in which the spirit of the original soup still lives."
"Ground coriander seeds, fennel seeds and cumin seeds, added paprika and chilli seeds. mixed in with natural yoghurt, marinate chicken breast in this mixture. Oven baked. Accompanied with: rice (made with tumeric and star aniseed (my fave rice concoction).sweet corn on the cob sauteed zuchinni and onion"
"Take pears and apples and dice them into cubes about 2cm on the edge. Leave the skin on but throw out the core. Dice some almonds into fine chips and splinters. Add almonds apples and pears to a hot pan, if the fruit is firm add a little water.
When the fruit has reduced a little, add marmalade, about a desert spoon for each whole piece of fruit. Add more water in small splashes if it's drying out too much.
Spice it up with ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Try adding sultanas. Sweeten further with sugar if your taste demands.
When it's just about as soft as suites your taste turn the heat down and add liquor, Bailey's works well and Jamisons, but I imagine Kirshe (sp?) and any number of other things would suit.
Serve hot with ice cream or cream.
(Clean the pan straight away or put in water otherwise it's a bitch to clean)."
Sauteacute; 2 chopped onions in 2 tbsp. of olive oil, stir in 2 cups of uncooked arborio rice, then add 1 large can of tuna, 1/2 cup of white wine (or water like I did due to allergies), 1 tin of chopped tomatoes and 1 tbsp. of tomato paste, then slowly add 900 ml of vegetable stock a bit at a time while simmering for 1/2 an hour or until the rice is tender. Season to taste, stir in 1/3 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley then serve immediately, this amount feeds 4.
"Fried some onion, potato, carrot, green pepper, and boiled celery leaves with cumin, tumeric, coriander, and paprika (and a touch of pepper). Then stirred some couscous through. Tastes fucking grouse."
get a decent hot chocolate mix thingy
heat about 2 cups of milk in a pan and add a handful of marshmallows
stir over a low heat until all the marshmallows melt into the milk
add a dash of brandy and stir in some dark milk chocolate before pouring into mugs with the chocolate mix thingy (anything but cadbury *ick*)
(done from memory so probably not 100% accurate)
"onion, garlic, beef mince, red wine, malt vinegar, mixed herbs, paprika, pepper, mixed spice, plain tomato paste and a tin of diced tomatoes. feeds 5 at about $1 per person."
"Saute onions garlic and ginger, mix corriander, tumeric and chilli and add a little water. Add 2 diced potatoes, and 1 obergine [sic], simmer till veges soft. Add 2 tins of chickpeas and a heafty glob of sweet mango chuckney [sic]. Serve on a bed of brown rice".
"its pretty easy when you have (any sort of Curry I guess would work) left over. The pastry is easy to make, i use wholemeal plain flour, pinch salt, tbsp oil, a little warm water to mix it into a dough. roll out cicles, and a spoon of filling close em up, and (now the naughty bit) deep fry till brown and crispy."
"Just finished making a fetta olive & pesto quiche for dinner tonight. You guys that do the egg inner thing should give it a go. The only extra thing you have to get is some sheet pastry. Put the sheet pastry into the dish, chuck in whatever bits you have around (Mine was the fetta & olives) whisk the eggs with a bit of milk, stir in the pesto, pour over into the pastry case & chuck in the oven for about 30-45 minutes (My oven is stuffed so I can't be more accurate than that.)"
"fry up onion, garlic and mushrooms, then add mince - the trick is to use a mix of beef and pork mince (and, a smoked pork leg hock if you can get one) but I only had beef mince last night. The next trick is, you must fry the meat til all that water evaporates out of it. Once you've done this, add some wine, and again reduce it down, then add a can of chopped roma tomatoes, some water mixed with vegie stock, tomato paste, capsicum, celery and grated carrot. Cook for at least an hour on a low simmer and serve up with pasta and lots of cheese."
"You need a packet of savoiardi (sponge finger) biscuits (Ital make a good one), a tub of marscapone cheese, couple of eggs, caster sugar, some liquer (sherry, brandy or suchlike) - and about a cup or so of very strong espresso coffee (cooled/chilled).
Separate the eggs, then mix the marscapone cheese with the beaten egg yolks - you could also then whip the whites and fold them in if you wanted a fluffier mixture, or use cream for more richness. Add a tablespoon of caster sugar to sweeten, and then a dash of the sherry/brandy/whatever.
Add a generous dash of the liquer into the coffee also.
Now, take a large flat dish (eg a lasagna dish). Take the sponge bikkies, and dip them into the coffee mixture til well soaked, and start layering them into the bottom of the dish. Then add a layer of the marscapone/egg mixture. Then soak and add more biscuts, then another later of marscapone til youve used it all up.Finally top with whipped cream and grated chocolate, and chill for a few hours to let all the flavours soak together =)
Its the richest, headiest thing in the world and I love it. Its my mark of a good Italian restaurant - if their tiramisu is shite, I wont eat there again ;)"
