Title: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book. Post by: RED-DOG on August 25, 2016, 03:04:50 PM Best ever cheese on toast.
Do two slices of your favourite bread in the toaster then put them on to a plate and top with slices of cheese. (I suggest mature Cheddar but what ever you like best will be fine). Next, hold the plate out on the palm of your hand and using the other hand, cover with an upside down non-stck frying pan, then in one smooth motion invert plate and pan so that the toast is in the pan with the cheese on the bottom. (If you're using a small pan you can do one slice at a time). Now set the pan on the hob and wait until the cheese melts, then, wait until it starts to burn, then, wait a little longer. Just at the moment you think it's all gone Pete Tong, it's ready. Flip it back on to your plate, season with a little black or cayenne pepper if required and enjoy the best cheese on toast in the world. Sorry I couldn't show you a whole slice, I couldn't wait to bite it.

Absolutely love cheese on toast , might give it a go , but what's wrong with the grill and seeing all the cheese gradually melting into the bread rather than having a lucky dip ? Title: Re: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book. Post by: Cf on August 25, 2016, 03:49:14 PM That looks really good to me.
Don't like the plates. Good idea for a thread I will try to contribute at some point :) Title: Re: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book.

Absolutely love cheese on toast , might give it a go , but what's wrong with the grill and seeing all the cheese gradually melting into the bread rather than having a lucky dip ? You have to try it before you judge it. Watch the cheese that leaks out from beneath the bread while it's cooking, if it's bubbling, it's not done. Title: Re: My own recipe.

Firstly nothing toasts, melts or tasted better than a white cheese on toast, done under the grill of course. Topped with either baked beans, tinned tomatoes. Brown sauce or Worcester sauce to finish off. I'm with all the other guys regarding the offending pic. Lol at smoke alarm. Title: Re: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book.

2. Start with your own recipe 3. Attract interest from people interested to see what you have cooked 4. Give recipe for cheese on toast. A courageous decision. Reminds me of a recipe Her Royal Connectiness Victoria C-M tweeted about. Victoria Coren M. @VictoriaCoren Thank goodness for this recipe in today's Times.

BTW- I would love to be able to make gravy like Ralph does. It's fantastic. Title: Re: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book. Post by: MrDickie on September 01, 2016, 06:25:56 PM Pasta with Pesto sauce

Post by: Longines on September 01, 2016, 07:27:54 PM My staple meal when it's my turn to cook: Chicken and Chorizo Risotto
1 onion 1 garlic clove 2 or 3 chicken breasts About 6" of chorizo Arborio rice Spice chicken stock cube Frozen peas Chop onion and garlic, sweat for a few minutes until soft in a decent sized pan/wok. Cube the chicken, slice the chorizo, fry with the onions for about 5 minutes. Add some spice - I like Ras El Hanout, Moroccan and in all the supermarkets. Couple of teaspoons. Add a mug and a half of arborio rice. Stir for a bit so it soaks up all the chorizo juice. Add chicken stock, 1.75 to 2 litres is about right. Bring to the boil then simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add a handful or two of frozen peas. Stir. Wait two minutes. Serve. Also make it with frozen white fish and prawns instead of the meats. They go in around 6-7 minutes before it's ready. Title: Re: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book. Post by: RED-DOG on September 13, 2016, 11:51:33 AM Any mealtime porridge.
1 cup milled/old fashioned oats. 1 ½ cups semi skimmed milk. 1 good pinch of salt. 1 heaped teaspoon sugar. 1 dessert spoon honey. 1 level dessert spoon mixed seeds. 1 heaped dessert spoon chopped almonds. 1 small handful dry roast peanuts. Put porridge and milk into a large bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. You're looking for a cake like consistency, i.e. turn the bowl over and nothing falls out. Scatter on the other ingredients in the order they are listed. Enjoy. (Pics available tomorrow if required) Title: Re: My own recipe. The official blonde cook book.
