I'm a bit of a gastro-head, I find being in the kitchen one of the most relaxing & enjoyable pleasures about - probably cos I love good food, wine & entertaining friends, but don't really have a lot of money.
I got myself quite a lot of wild mushrooms at the weekend & made a great lasagne. Didn't go as far as making the lasagne though, just got it from Lidl's:icon_mrgreen:.
I get a lot out of making a nice meal for people if they come over to my house, but I try not to be too poncy or anything.
My favorite meal to make cheaply would probably be:
Cullen Skink
Steak Pie with champ & roasted root veg
Dark Chocolate Brownies with ice cream.
PS: My Chocolate brownie recipe is the fooking bollox & is guaranteed to get you into the knickers of any bird who tastes them!:50:
Anybody else enjoy cooking, or is it just for big girl's blouses?
Any favorite tried & tested recipes or cheap meals?

Aye, see?
Closet Gastro.
That's how we all start.
Why go to the bother of making French toast, when normal toast will do?
Just indulge your urges a bit further & the next time your in John Lewis's with the missus, you'll be bugging her to get those fancy pans you like the look of. -

Missus makes a * mean chilli...either with rice, or turn it all into nachos. A delight.
For me, after many efforts it comes as follows for ye olde evenings when guests are around:
Brocolli and stilton soup,
Fillet steak - peppercorn sauce, asparagus, tatties (mashed and boiled) buttered mushrooms...favourite meal in the world.
Sticky toffee pudding - have to cheat and get her indoors to do it. Not the * foggiest...have tried and failed on numerous occasions to get it right. -
...and clean all kitchen includin floor :icon_mrgreen:
I'm wee slob I'm afraid :52:
