Katkinn - have you tried my carrot cake recipe ? It's a massive quantity but could easily be halved or so.

It is really the best carrot cake I've ever made !

ooh nooooooooooo. Most shop bought lasagne is evil

[lucypede]

I agree - what do they put in it to give it such a vile taste? With one exception - I tried a Lidl one this summer, it looked really homemade so thought I'd give it a go and it was pretty nice! Ok, so nowhere near proper homemade lasgane but quite decent!

[Adelelee]

I am doing a fabulous receipe tonight called "Chippy a la chips an curry"

[glitterygirl]

where do you all get your recipes from?
They all sound yummy

[shamu]

Oooh - have just had the Tana Ramsay book arrive (delivered upstairs ) so will modify my plan for the week to include
lime and ginger salmon fillets
chicken breast with red lentil sauce
chicken and butter bean casserole

[Skerry Berry]

Shamu, could I have your recipe for spaghetti with garlicky king prawns please? I may have that on Saturday night

A bit late to this thread, but we had steak with pan-fried rosemary potatoes tonight. I am working twighlights tomorrow and Thursday, so will probably do some sort of casserole in my slow-cooker on those nights. Not sure about Friday, but am planning to do JO's slow-roasted lamb on Sunday.

[katkinn]

skerry berry have you done that lamb before?

I keep looking at it and think that I'd like to do it, but I'm terrified of slow roasting things as I've done Nigella's slow roasted pork before and I managed to cook leather

shamu - looking forward to hearing how your chicken with red lentil sauce goes!

I'm just doing my shopping list now actually and I'm going to do another new dish as well - flipflop's chicken in parma ham with dolcelatte. Am going to do it with green beans and smashed new potatoes. Very much looking forward to it on Sunday!

Sounds fabulous dharling, i think we'll try that tomorrow

[Diddlum]

So, do you all cook something different every week?

I'm so bored of the stuff we eat but I'm scared off by recipes that have loads of ingredients or look a bit fancy. Generally I can make a decent job of it if it's made with minced beef and that's about it I imagine.

[Skerry Berry]

No Katkinn, but I have been wanting to try it for ages. My mum cooked it a few weeks ago, and it was gorgeous. My new cooker was delivered today, so I want to try it for myself (would never have trusted my old oven with this as the thermostat was temperamental).

Err OK but it's made up and not very elaborate!!!

Cook spaghetti until al dente then drain.
In another pan melt a big knob of butter then add 2-3 cloves of crushed/chopped garlic and brown gently. Add a handful of pinenuts until they start to brown then take everything off the heat. Add the prawns (I used cooked peeled ones so they didn't need cooked through iyswim) and stir then throw over the spaghetti. Serve You could add some lemon zest and parsley to the garlicky prawn mixture. It was v v nice and simple - James loved it and DH devoured it and asked for more!

We had a chicken with tomato and tarragon on pasta on monday and lasagne with salad last night.
DH has lasagne again tonight and tomorrow if he can manage it 3 days in a row as I'm out. Tonights meal is going to be Moroccan Chicken and tomorrow, who knows. Whatever the pub has to offer.
Friday is Sausage and Bean casserole thingy, which will hopefully last till saturday.
In laws for christmas lunch sunday.
I tell you this forum has really inspired me. Thanks ladies
