    I thought I'd start a thread for people to put their favourite recipes into, for to have others experimentationalise with them.

    I have a seriously simple one here:

    Skin some carrots and celery and cut into batons. Other vegetables will probably work, use your imagination and keep it sane (tomatoes are a bad idea). Blanch them in white wine over a slow heat, then when the wine is reduced, and had a little time to permeate your vegetables, place them on top of a fillet of salmon or trout. Wrap in baking foil and bake on a medium heat for about 20 minutes (depends on the size of your fillet). Once done, arrange on a plate and serve as-is with a glass of wine.

    Doesn't go well with roast potatoes, which is my next simple recipe:

    A little paprika, melted butter and garlic drizzled over the potatoes, shoved in the oven for 30-60 minutes (depending on how large your pieces of potato are) and serve. You can bake them in foil if you want the potatoes to be soft instead of crispy.

    Ginger cake!

    Melt 3oz margarine, 2oz soft brown sugar, 4oz black treacle and 3oz golden syrup in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Allow mixture to cool, then add to 6oz sifted plain flour, 2tsp ginger, 1tsp mixed spice, 1tsp bicarb soda, a pinch of salt and 2 eggs and mix thoroughly, gradually adding 4floz milk. Bake in a moderate oven (Gas Mark 4 / 180°C) for 40 minutes.

    Faster roast potatoes than CeeBee:

    Heat the oven to maximum (gas mark 9 / 230°C) and melt some lard in a tin. Add herbs and things to the lard if you like. Chop the potatoes to the appropriate size, put in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Simmer for 10 minutes and then drain off the water. Put the lid back on and give it a good shake to make the edges fluffy. Put the potatoes in the tin (now with hot melted lard in it) and put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Mmm. Perhaps slightly less healthy... For the final touch, drizzle with honey once out of the oven. Now definitely less healthy...

    I have a tip for those doing curries.
    Sprinkle paprika over your chicken after it's sealed and fry for 2 more minutes.

    Adds a fantastic earthy taste. (y)
    Got more recipes will post them up soon.

    Does your recipe work satisfactorily if I wanted slightly more, say 4 sccops?

    My bf makes something very similar, called "Ice Cream In a Cup". Put 2 scoops of ice cream in a mug. Add a splash of milk. Microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir a bit and serve.

    I prefer my ice cream cold. And on a stick.
