I got this book about 6 weeks ago and absolutely LOVE it. Rachael gives you a whole shopping list of things you should keep in stock (and of course, I went out and bought EVERYTHING on the list, even clams, which I know I won't use as DH hates them - but maybe when he's away on business?)...

Hi everyone! We arrived back from our 3 weeks of vacation in England at 2am this morning. It was wonderful to be able to see all our relatives again - my little niece has grown so much!! LOL! It's also good to be back in my own kitchen again - I had taken a couple of my favourite recipe...

Since moving over to the USA from England, we have celebrated Thanksgiving every year with a special meal...but our Thanksgiving Dinner has been more like a traditional English Christmas Dinner (Turkey, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, bacon-wrapped sausages, peas, brussel sprouts, carrots...

I decided to buy some (more!) new cookware yesterday...I have loads of saute pans/frying pans of various makes and types (Lodge, Le Creuset, Calphalon One, Calphalon Commercial non-stick and Calphalon tri-ply stainless), but my set of saucepans was limited to just one type - Circulon non-stick...

....my laptop is sick and has to go to hospital to have surgery on it's hard disk and fan :( Will see you all when she's feeling better ;) Paint.

I went to my local 'Tuesday Morning' store 3 weeks ago and fell in love with a 5qt Calphalon One saute pan - on discount price of $117 (they are usually around $235). There was only one available. I kept my self-control and didn't buy it as I'd already recently got a new Le Creuset skillet, but...

I have the Ultimate Teen Picky Eater in my family - my 15 year old daughter. I have looked at countless magazine articles on recipes for picky eaters, and have bought tons of recipe books full of 'Family meals that ALL the family will love'....she hasn't liked a single new thing that I've...

I am currently trying to steer my teenage daughter into healthier eating. She has never been very good at trying new foods and maintains a typical teen 'junk food' diet. Anyway, we came up with this recipe, as an alternative to pizza, which she loves: Low Fat Pizza Sandwiches: 2 slices of...

When I had my dog-trainer friend over the other week, she brought two toys for my Great Danes to try out - both are hollow rubber toys that you fill with peanut butter or kibble (we used soy-nut butter & kibble), and the dog spends ages trying to get the food out. Well, I had a bit to drink and...

I was intrigued by this - back home in England we have 'back bacon' that is extremely lean. The bacon you get here in the US, we call 'streaky bacon' because it's streaked with fat. English back bacon has hardly any fat on it - just a 'rind' of fat along one side, that is easily trimmed off...

Many years ago, I remember watching a cooking programme on TV back in England that had the chef wrapping fish up in a tight foil parcel and then putting it into the dishwasher to cook - the heat of the circulating water & steam cooked the fish to perfection (obviously there was no dishwasher...

So I decided to have a dinner party for my girlfriends tonight, while DH is away. One of them is a neighbour that I know fairly well from other people's parties and chatting in the street. Well, I asked for RSVP's by yesterday, so I knew how much food to cook. No RSVP, so I called her and she...

I will be sunning myself by a pool in Santa Fe and drinking lots of Sangria next week....see you all when I get back! Anyone recommend any great restaurants down there? Paint.

I've never really looked for a butcher or fishmonger during the past 5 years I've lived here - just got meat & fish at the local supermarket. Now I'm wanting to find a good local butcher who could maybe cut me some British style back-bacon, or who could provide me with venison or a good filet...

What can I use as a substitute for veal in a recipe? I won't eat veal but have found some wonderful recipes for it that I would like to try with a substitute. Thanks, Paint.

It says "Caution - I can go from Hostess to B*tch in 2.3 seconds" :devil:

I was on the 'phone to my Mum, back in England, the other day and I was telling her what I was cooking for dinner that night. Her comment was something like "Well, that sounds absolutely delicious sweetheart, but surely you have better things to do than spend your time cooking? It sounds like...

For a medium-spiced curry for 4 generous servings: * 2 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil. * 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of visible fat & cut into quarters. * 1 medium and 1 large onion (thinly slice half the large onion and save for the onion salad, chop the...

I bought a 10" frying pan (Calphalon One), and was so impressed with it that I went and ordered the 7 quart sauteuse, which has a 14" diameter flat bottom. I only have a standard size electric ceramic hob and I don't think it's heating the pan up enough, because meat just isn't searing or...

After last weeks excitement with the arrival of my new french oven, I was even more excited about the arrival of my 12" skillet yesterday - again got everything ready to cook something in it to try it out. This time, it arrived well before dog-walking time.....but had a big crack down one...

My very first, ever, Le Creuset arrived on Tuesday evening. I was so excited - I knew it was being delivered because of the tracking number, so I prepared all the ingredients ready to make a Chicken Basque (Spanish Stew). Well - the UPS man usually comes around 3pm, and I had to go out on a...

Hi everyone, Nursing school has finished for the Summer, and I have over 3 glorious months to relax, hike and cook yummy dinners again. I passed my first year with straight A's, and so I've rewarded myself by purchasing a couple of Calphalon One Infused pans, and my very first Le Crueset...a 5...

Well, my next nursing courses have started and it's going to be hefty semester of burying my head in text books rather than recipe books. There may not be much time for posting here for the next few months, but I'll be sure to pop in from time to time. I have to have a lot of self-discipline...

http://www.deliaonline.com Delia Smith is to British cooking what Julia Childs is to America. There are some really excellent recipes on this website, with international and some traditional British recipes. A lot of the entrees are game based, so if you love your venison/pheasant/pigeon...

....and suggestions on what to serve it with too? Thanks, Paint.
