Curries in all their variety, richness, and amazing flavour have got to be my favourite kind of food. I like cooking too, but to make a decent curry can take a long time, which is fine sometimes but I kept trying out different recipes looking for a decent, quick to make, recipe that I could knock up after work with no hassle. I ended up making up my own recipe to fill this gap and here it is. Ingredients (serves 2 hungry people) 1 Onion, thinly sliced 1 Green Pepper, cut into chunks Corn Oil 2 Cloves Garlic, crushed 1tsp each: Mustard Seeds, Ground Ginger, Cumin, Coriander ½ tsp Ground Turmeric 1 Bay Leaf 1 Red ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ Ful (pronounced "fool") means "fava bean" in Arabic, and is one of my favourite Levantine foods. Unusually for my meat-orientated palate, it's vegetarian (and vegan) as well. At its heart, it is a bean stew topped with fresh chopped vegetables and herbs.

Ingredients ½ cup/100g dried red lentils 2 cups/150g chestnut mushrooms/crimini mushrooms, sliced 2/3 cup/75g walnuts, chopped 1 medium onion 1 egg 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 ...  Read the complete review

I know Vegetarians get alot of flack sometimes, but there is alot to be said for cutting out the carnivorous proteins once in a while, even if it isn't going to be a life long lifestyle change, or for animal welfare reasons, its worth it. It often makes for a lighter meal, and can be far quicker to cook and prepare than when meats are involved. Also as you will see below, it need not be a very different alien meal to what your used too, or for that matter taste particularly bland. Like the infamous 'nut roast' unfortunately sometimes can! As is often the case on a Sunday evening, I invariably get one or two of my friends (or neighbours) ...  Read the complete review
