When my ex and I were together, my aunt would come and spend a weekend with me when he was out of town. We'd go through cookbooks and make something we'd never made before. Dinner and dessert.......the last one we did still sticks out in my mind - tilapia with asparagus and cashews, and tiramisu for dessert. Yum!

You're so bad! :p

That sounds awesome! My husband and I cook almost everynight from cookbooks. We love making things from scratch as they taste so much better and you actually know what's in them.

It was a very time consuming recipe, therefore had to be done on a weekend. All fresh ingredients. I had never worked with fresh ginger before, so it was a learning experience.

Holler if you can see it.

ROFL!! That's funny!

Putting together a Cook book..
 

I love cooking - well veggie cooking anyway since i have no idea how to cook meat (longpig or otherwise).

So I started to keep recipes I liked or liked the look of with the intent of putting together a scrap book type Cookbook of my (stolen) Recipes. So I started keeping print outs and photocopies etc. Then it came to me I'd photoshop them a bit and make each page a big more personal....

I just started today and I'm still working on the 'look' of it:

Heres some Dips I wanna try:

Also a recipe for the famous Elvis PB sambo:

I hope to keep this up and eventually get it bound :-)

Name it , "To Serve Man".

Any recipes I may know have meat.......I'm very carnivorous.

I'm sure Cheebs can help you out a great deal.

I have a good recipe for Masoor Dahl

1 cup of red lentils
1/2 brown onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried corriander
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp chili powder
4 cups of water

combine the above, bring to the boil and then simmer for 30 mins covered

Then add :

cook in a frying pan some fresh chili, garlic, and ginger in ghee for 2 mins then add to the above mixture

1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tsp salt
olive oil

cook the above covered for 30 mins

I do pretty much the same dish but fresh tomatoes and no ginger (i must try that) - and onions are fried with the second part. I just use olive oil - i must try Ghee but its hard for an irish person to buy :-)
