The cooking thread!

Absolutely love cooking! I made Cajun chicken last night with Cajun seasoning, basil, garlic, lemon pepper and cream, served with pasta. Really tasty and dead easy to make.
 
I do most of the cooking in our house and last night had a stab at lamb kebabs, they were bang on. Clean plates all round.
 
For breakfast this morning I made an omelette. Omelette with Onion and Tomato, When I poured it onto the pan I put two small slices of bread in it and turn the bread to wet it both sides, When the bottom is cooked flip it over and do the other side that both sides of the bread is toasted too. Got shredded cheese put it on top that it melts, And bacon out of the grill and put it on top of the Omelette. Take it out of the pan fold it that it's a sandwich. Jobs a good one!
 
Cooking from fresh is often seen as time consuming and fiddly, but I can knock up a large bowl of skin on garlic and paprika potato wedges for a fraction of the price of a packet of shop bought frozen ones, and they take about 5 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes in the oven.

You just need a few basic skills, and a couple of decent pans/ oven trays, and you can cook a whole load of different meals. It's just a matter of good quality ingredients.

How true, chillis, lasagnes, mousakas, spag bol, kebabs, burgers etc all done in a couple of hours, chuck them in the freezer, job done, weeks of supply. We save any takeaway containers and use them for storing.
The secret for Spag bol, chilli, lasagne, mousaka etc is to cook a huge batch of basic mince, tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, garlic and herbs and then work from that.
