Meat Reviews

I enjoy cooking. Well, I enjoy the idea of cooking. When it actually comes to cooking, especially when I have to prepare dinner under the constraints of time, I have a tendency to get rather stressed, to the extent that I start kicking the excrement out of the oven to make it cook faster. It doesn't work though. So I start having a go at ...  Read the complete review

Ingredients 3 tsp of olive oil 4 green chillies 2 chopped tomatoes Red chillies Salt 2lb mince meat Parsley Tin of processes peas Nan breads Natural yoghurt ...  Read the complete review

In this age of processed food, quick fixes and institutionalised mediocrity nothing pleases me more than taking hours over preparing supper for me and my flatmates. We are four “stouter gents”, preferring a good feed and a few drinks to a night down the gym and a pureed lettuce leaf drink. We like our food and this recipe has come to ...  Read the complete review

Yes I know it sounds weird, but pork is one of those meats that has its own flavour and is very hard to do anything with that is original and doesn't require apple or sweet and sour sauce. The good thing about this recipe is its simple and it really is up to you what you add to it, I am only giving you the beginnings, do with it as you wish, ...  Read the complete review

Married German men want a nice, tasty Roulade on their plates on Sundays. What did YOU think? Have I led you into a trap? Not ‘into’, at the most ‘to’, you’ve fallen into it yourself. It’s not my prob that you’re mainly guided by your base instincts and can’t use your senses any ...  Read the complete review

I thought I’d have another go at telling you about one of my favorite recipes that my husband created. It’s taken me a while to get round to it because I had the pleasure of my oldest sons company over the Christmas holidays, we haven’t seen him for nearly two years and unfortunately Dooyoo kind of took a back seat – ...  Read the complete review

Hello, I don’t usually write in English on the internet so I hope I’ve gotten everything right. I have been in my boyfriend’s hometown of Newcastle for the past four weeks and have cooked some typical Korean meals for his family during my stay, which they have all enjoyed; I would like to share one of my recipes with you. ...  Read the complete review

I discovered this recipe after I bought a shop 'cook-in' sauce and decided I could probably do much better myself. My family love it and it always goes down a treat after footie matchs with my garlic potatoes, a recipe I will write up another time. It is seriously tasty, even if I say so myself! You will need for four people: ...  Read the complete review

I love Italian food. So much so that I am often inanely jealous of anybody and everybody I hear saying "It's so easy to make and it tastes good!" when talking about their Italian meal attempts. (Any other dishes I normally just cringe with embarrassment at the thought of what my feeble effort would be - my attempts at custard whilst ...  Read the complete review

Well i'll have to tell you mother in laws are'nt really good for much, LOL, but mine gave me a brilliant recipe for stuffing your turkey at christmas. I also think it makes a good meatloaf for any time of year. It has a little preperation, but we like to make an effort when it comes to christmas though dont we! I ...  Read the complete review

The key to good cottage/shepherds pie is the mix of herbs and spices added. You don't need a lot but to have a great pie you'll need the right mix. The recipie I'm about to give is an adaptation of one I found on an old OXO packet, tried it, liked it, improved it and am now passing it on to the world. Recipie: -------- ...  Read the complete review

Frankfurter sausages are an instant meal, they are a mild German sausage that you can eat cold or make a really quick and delicious hotdog in a bun, all you need to do is prick the frankfurter a couple of times with a fork, place the frankfurter in a finger bun, wrap in absorbent paper and microwave on high for about 45 seconds and you have a ...  Read the complete review

Ever Since September 11th a lot of people have been wondering "How do I know if someone is a terrorist", as they ride on a plane or bus, knowing that very well the person sitting next to them at any time could leap up and commandeer the plane. It is a fair question. And I have an answer in my Porkies Pizzas. All you need to do is take a ...  Read the complete review

This is a recipe I invented one day, but it does bear similarities to other dishes (such as chilli), and I'm sure you've probably heard of something alike! But here goes anyway. Oh, and it doesn't contain spicy sausage, but the dish itself is spicy! The amounts given below usually just serve myself and my fella cos ...  Read the complete review

As the main cook and bottlewasher in this house and as the person who does all the shopping ( How do I get chance to DOOYOO I hear you say!) I am solely responsible in ensuring that my family get a balanced diet. It is not always an easy task as everyone has their likes and dislikes, and in this house that means everyone dislikes the ...  Read the complete review

Beef in Beer This is really simple but so tasty that you could make it to impress a date. A combination of two great loves, food and beer. The quantities are approximate, I never bother weighing. Braising steak (about 1lb) One onion chopped finely * (see tip) 1 can beer (must be bitter or stout!) 1 beef oxo ...  Read the complete review

Ok I know the following recipes may sound disgusting to most people, however, you cannot judge until you've sampled my delicious recipes. Who knows you may like them, I know me and my family certainly do. Anyway here goes. Calf's Head With Brain Sauce. Cooking Time 3 hours. Ingredients. 1 Calf's Head ...  Read the complete review

I’ve found over the years three recurring themes in my favourite recipes: chilli, soy sauce, and alcohol. Actually, I’m sure somewhere I must have one with all three! This is an example of the last (and possibly best!) category – alcohol. Sherry isn’t exactly a ‘trendy’ drink, I know, but it works ...  Read the complete review

Meatballs. Hmm, well, yes. They aren't really exciting, you know. They're that sort of sensible foodstuff that brings to mind the 1970's OXO family, all sitting down to a nice sensible, dull meal, with cabbage, carrots and gravy. They just aren't exotic, I suppose. I'll defy anyone to find anything remotely exotic about a ...  Read the complete review

On Sunday mornings it’s nice to get away from tasteless cereal and a snatched coffee. Coming from the West of Scotland I still hanker for a traditional cooked breakfast. Even living in England I can still get all the essential ingredients, including potato scones and black pudding, except one sliced sausage. I have always loved ...  Read the complete review
