Now we've got our own sub forum this would seem like a good place to share some things that I've been shown, picked up, made up. This might be seen as simple and straight forward but once apon a time I didn't know anything about this, but my mum was a great cook and also a good teacher which has made me the foodie(god I hate that term) I prefere gluttonous heathen that I am today.
Some off these everyone might know but we've all got to start somewhere. And also there's no accounting for everyone's taste. And you'll never know everything.
The main one is never go shopping when you're hungry(or inebriated) you'll come home with all sorts of crap.
Get to know your local butcher. You look after him,by bringing your custom and he will look after you.
A couple of squares of good quality plain chocolate(60% ) in a chilli
Homemade tomato sauce for pasta/sauces add a teaspoon of sugar to take away bitterness.
Sunday roast. I always use the water I parboil potatoes in for roasties to make the gravy.
Never salt broad beans whilst cooking to avoid tough skins.
To make a pasta bake add mayo to homemade tomato sauce to make it creamy.
Egg mayo, try a little less mayo and replace with salad cream or sandwich spread.
Always keep leftover wine(as if) freeze it in ice cube tray,bag up and use for gravy or sauces.
If you want to brown mince, do not move it in the pan for a least 3/4 minutes.
Now I've started this I can't seem to remember anything, I'll be back. |
