I am not a great cook but do cook a stonking roast.

No great secret, just use quality meat and veg and do not be afraid of unhealthy fat!!!!

Also, use the fat in the gravy and NEVER NEVER overkill the veg. Use a steamer!!!

My baked cheesecake and chocolate fondants go down a treat. Also my steak pie.

I am a great cook figs but I dont like to boast about it though.
But washing up have not mastered that yet.

I find well seasoned foods are always a hit. I love macaroni and cheese made with five or six different cheeses.

[Ice.Maiden]

Irish coffees and the like - and Sunday roasts.

Knobbs, then buy disposable plates and cups, spoons etc. lol

[~max~]

I'm good at roasts (so I'm told!lol). Like Wardy said, you can't be afraid of fat, because that's what makes it good and gives it flavour, although not TOO much of it. I'm not bad at stuffed peppers, and any kind of pasta dish either.

[Ice.Maiden]

Hi Figure - where's my email? And lol - think it'd be great if we ALL used disposable plates, etc!

Hi Ice! Good to see you. Hope you are all better from that awful flu. x

Do you make your roast together with vegetables or cook the veges. separate?

[figure]

LoL Ice, I'm not finish with it. But soon doll ...

[Ice.Maiden]

Still got a headache - but improving, thanks. If I cook honey roast parsnips and roast potatoes, I do them round the meat.

[~max~]

Always separate, because you (well I, really) never know exactly how long the meat is going to take. Then transfer the veg in the serving dish once the meat has rested, and pour a little gravy over it all. Yum!

[Bewlay Bros]

The only veg I roast is parsnip (and the spuds of course), the rest in a steamer.

[~max~]

Of course, you don't roast everything. Only potatoes and carrots, and parsnips (yuk). The rest, like sprouts,green beans or peas get either boiled for a few minutes or steamed.

Your roast sounds like mine, Wardy. I say mine..really it's Mr Ps, as he enjoys cooking roasts more than I do. He uses meat juices, fats etc in his gravy. And lard on his roast potatoes.

My signature dishes are usually something with rice. He cannot cook rice the way I do (perfection..always basmati, steamed). Maybe a chilli con carne or mexican chicken with fresh tomatoes and peppers.

I also make a mean stroganoff and risotto.

[hau kola]

Chilli con coction,make it like a normal chilli,put it in an oven proof dish,sprinkle with cheese then brown under the grill.Serve with salad and garlic bread.Yum.

I do a mean Roast too....bit of a tip...when roasting your potatoes in the juices from the meat....peel an onion and put it in with them.....yummy....and just baste the roasties as normal...gives them a lovely flavour :D

I also do a lovely Shepherds Pie, with cheesy mash...my grandaughter loves it.

[kp nonuts]

OOOHHH icy you have made me go all warm now with your honey roasts parsnips round the meat

[Ice.Maiden]

Lol - well it obviously warms the cockles as well!
