I've just joined Dooyoo but I'm going to write a few of my own recipes when I get the time. I'm a student so I always look for relatively cheap recipes that still provide a good balance of protein, carbs and vegetables. I really love making paella because for something so simple, it always turns out delicious. Plus I find that you can adapt a basic recipe to include whatever ingredients you happen to have leftover from your last meal or that you can find in the reduced section of the supermarket. And that's what this recipe is about - giving a framework for ideas of ingredients that will work in a paella - but don't feel restricted by what I mention here - try out your ..  Read the complete review

A couple of year ago a friend and I booked a self catering cottage in the Cotswolds. We just wanted a quiet few days away as we both had leave but did not want to spend half of it travelling and waiting in airports. We were quite isolated so on the first day went to stock up. She said that as it was cold she would get the ingredients for a quick meal her Auntie used to make for her. She bought rice, onions, eggs and a tin of creamed mushrooms. That night we had what I thought was the nicest - and quickest meal we had that week. The rice is boiled and when cooked placed into a pan. While it is cooking the onions are fried and the eggs scrambled. Then they ...  Read the complete review

I've had this recipe for so long that I can't actually remember where it came from. It was a firm family favourite in our house when we were growing up and one that featured regularly on our dinner table. I now make it at least once a fortnight as it's quick, easy, uses only a handful of ingredients and is fairly economical if you shop savvy! Although chicken can be quite expensive nowadays the thighs used in this recipe are usually cheaper than buying breasts, although if all I have in my freezer at the time is chicken breasts then that's what I use. My local independent supermarket does a meat deal where you can buy either 3 packs for £10 (which is common ...  Read the complete review

We eat quite a bit of pasta in our house and one of my favourite pasta dishes is pasta salad. Some may think it's a bit boring but I love it. We make more than one but that is only because people like different things. I find it is best if you use fusilli (I just like this pasta best) and if you use the tri coloured one then it adds more colour to the dish. I don't weigh or really measure the amount of pasta I just guess what is the right amount for the 4 of us (just estimate what you normally eat). The pasta needs cooking so I add it to a pan and then add boiling water, I also boil a couple of eggs. Whilst the pasta and eggs are cooking it is time ...  Read the complete review
