Brace yourself! It's a happy thread!
As the title says, I effing love cooking me! Most days I'll be cooking my dinner from scratch, and I do enjoy experimenting.
For instance, this past week I've mostly been making pizza. Base dough is dead easy, and one batch provided enough for ten bases. And will cost you about a quid in ingredients. Divvy it up, bung in freezer wrapped in cling film. Topping? Whatever you have or whatever you fancy!
Tonight? Sauce is tomato purée. Rest is grated cheddar, bit of chopped red onion, half a chorizo, and some pepperoni. Took the dough out this morning, knocked it back and rolled it out when I got in, and pizza was ready to go before the oven. All for around a quids worth of ingredients. Fancy something different? I like to use Reggae Reggae sauce. Spicy and barbecue, it works really well as a base sauce. Again bung on what you fancy.
I also do a mean stew (love my slow cooker) and once I have the readies, I'll be plundering the spice store up the road for fresh curry ingredients. Including turmeric as the root!
So any other kitchen potterers on here!
