Hi, does anyone have a recipe for the above they can share. I've spotted Raine's post for lamb curry in yoghurt, but fancy something with whole spices. Thanks

Healthy? No. Creative? Yes. http://baconcamp.org/Bacone

I'm a novice at growing vegetables. This is only my second summer - last year wasn't that great due to six weeks of constant rain followed by gales. Turns out I can grow whopper onions and good brassicas, my tomatoes are pretty decent, as are my peppers, chilis courgettes, potatoes, etc. But...

Does anyone here keep bees? I'm thinking of starting but am having difficulty finding anyone local to let me watch what they do. It's not the ideal thing to learn about through books, but it looks like that's the way I'll have to go. Most of the hives near me are inhabited by bees but abandoned...

Hi, Can anyone let me know what N/A means in the members list? I'm trying to catch up with old friends on the site. Two I'm especially keen to link up with have N/A against their names. Before I put my foot in it, can anyone give me the heads-up or low-down on this? Thanks. Snoop

At long last I have an internet connection at home. So I'll be around a bit more than I have been these last two years. I won't ask if I missed anything good - bound to have done. Looking forward to catching up.

BBC NEWS | Health | Alcohol 'makes fruit healthier' OK, don't have so many that you fall over blotto. But the odd one (or two) might not be a bad idea.

There's been a recipe for marrow chutney passed down the last few generations of women in my family. Sadly, my Mum is now getting on in years and I reckon I ought to start thinking about learning to make this chutney. I've got no kids (and too old to ever have any now) but at least we'll make it...

Taking a few days r & r. As Goodweed would say, Seeeeeeya. And as Arnie would say, I'll be back. Have fun.

Due largely to kitchenelf (for which many thanks), I seem to have accumulated some karma. I've checked for karma in the faqs but there are no matches. What does one do with karma? Do I just keep it as it makes me feel wanted and popular?:smile:

A food blogger sent me in the direction of the following on-line shop that sells very cheap vanilla. Five Bourbon vanilla pods from the island of Mayotte for seven euros, ten pods for 12 euros, 20 pods for 20 euros, postage included. They ship around the world. The site is only in French...

The weather is cooling down here, so having the oven on in the kitchen doesn't seem like torture. I've started the baking season with this cake, which I've made on lots of occasions before as it has proved very popular. I'm not a great Delia Smith fan but she does have the odd moment of genius...

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a restaurant here in Spain where they served the very best chips/French fries I've ever had. I asked what the secret was and the man told me they were home-cooked from fresh potatoes (not frozen fries) in olive oil. This surprised me because I was under the...

A recipe posted in response to a post by Essie looking for recipes that include aubergines. Only one in this, but it's a big one so I hope this will do. The recipe is a version of a low-cholesterol recipe I found in a book. Seems odd, given that it uses lamb, but I guess all the other bits up...

Over at the "Spanish rice and what?" thread posted by DaCook in the General Cooking Questions forum, Steve A joked about whether I could cook him a plate of Riñones al Jerez. Not my favourite kidney dish but I started looking around on DC for offal or organ meat threads. And I can see they're...

I'm a Brit living in Spain. So sorry for asking what is probably a dumb question for 99.9999% of the DC population: What exactly is a stick of butter? I've been guessing it's what's sold as a standard 8 oz /250 g block in Britain and Spain. But I've just spotted a sweet potato halva recipe that...

I love mangos but always make a bit of a mess of them when cutting them up when they're good and ripe. Has anyone tried one of these? http://www.chefsresource.com/oxo-mango-splitter-slicer.html
