I made a pie for the first time and it turned out pretty good! I slow cooked some steak and onions and I used left over puff pastry for the crust. It didn't look that pretty but was yum!
Just been thinking about getting a wok. I've never owned one and been browsing around and noticed quite a few of them say they need to be "seasoned." Not sure if its the same thing but at least one I looked at also had to be 'oiled' after every use.
Just wondering about the pros and cons of...
At the cinema I think it was Sausage Party (I know, I don't go much) which happens to be food related and absolutely hilarious and clever.
With TV programming being so good these days I find I don't watch as many movies. Bring on the return of GoT!
Here's a couple from my childhood;
-This wasn't a disaster from my perspective but my mom was not impressed and the food didn't getting eaten. Anyway, I was tasked with making dinner one night and it was spaghetti bolognese. I thought it was a bit boring to have the same recipe as normal but...
Hi all, hope this post fits into this forum. I'm a cooking noob and looking for some flexible recipes that I could use at the end of the week to use up odds and ends leftover in the fridge or cupboard that might go bad if they're not used up.

Thanks for the replies everyone, lots to think about. I've been thinking about the possibility of growing herbs indoors under lights so I don't have to worry about different climates etc. I wonder if anyone has any experience with that..?
How do you make the bacon stick?
When I did a bacon wrapped meatloaf I couldn't get the bacon to stay woven stuck to the meatloaf as I moved it.
Are there any tricks for this?
Hi all, thinking about growing some herbs at home (for cooking) and wondering whether its best to have a small amount of a lot of herbs or a large amount of a few herbs.
Also, which herbs to start with.

I'm working on a Google docs sheet to organize everything. So far I have a tab with all my shopping list items and a recipe tab. On the recipe tab I can select the relevant items from my shopping list and that helps me calculate cost per serve of each dish.
Each dish I make I'm rating the...
Playing with food and hitting some home runs from time to time is a process/skill I wish to develop. It would be cool to be able to just take whatever is on hand and make something good with it.
