Please teach me

Last nights fish dish comes to mind.........can't think why. lol Anyway, Whitefish slow fried in lemon butter under cover so the steam poached it. Just before taking it out I squeezed fresh lemon juice all over it and spread fresh picked dill over the top of the fish. It came out crispy on the bottom and tender and juicy everywhere else. Sound familiar? ROFL Served with avacado salad (an art in itself!) and boiled tiny new potatoes topped with fresh grated parmesan and chopped parsley, dinner was a feast. I LOVE this fish dish! ROFL

I'm not too good at 'saying' teaching, I'm better at 'showing' teaching, but I'll try, so here goes:(I have no idea of weights or anything like that either) BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING:You will need, several slices of bread (even slightly stale bread will do, but not mouldy bread) a handful or so of raisins or random mixed, dried fruit about half a pint of milk sugar (it's up to you how much sugar you use, it depends on how sweet a tooth you've got, I think I use 8oz though) 1 thing to cook it in, like maybe a pirex dish or a roasting pan Way to make it, cut the bread into strips (whatever size you fancy will do) place bread into whatever cooking container you're using mix the milk and sugar together pour milk and sugar over bread (as evenly as you can) pour fruit over the whole thing (as evenly as you can too) Cook in an oven until you smell that it's done (I think it's about 30-45minutes on gas mark 7). Once it's cooked take it out, let it cool if you like, or eat it hot (be careful as it will burn your mouth, so blow it first), serve with cream/ice-cream/custard or any other thing like that of your choice. (Maybe there should be an egg in there somewhere, I can't remember) FRUIT CRUMBLE:You will need, fruit of some description, I suggest apples, but you can use almost any hard fruit (don't use strawberries, that doesn't work well at all). 6oz sugar 4oz butter or margarine (I use stork, it's the best I've found for baking with) 4oz flour (preferably self-raising, but plain will work too) 1 dish or something to cook in Way to make it, cut the apples into smallish chunks, not too big, but not too small place the apples into the dish, make sure they're spaced as evenly apart as you can get them pour 3oz (of the 6oz) of sugar over the apples rub the butter and flour together, until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs, don't over rub as you'll turn it into normal pastry and you don't want that. once you've done the crumble mix, pour the remaining sugar into the crumble mix, stir it gently round, making sure it retains its breadcrumb consistancy. pour the crumble over the apples, making sure it's even pat down the edges of the crumble, just to make sure it's sealed place it in the oven on gas mark 5 for 30-40 minutes when it's cooked, take it out and eat it straight away, or leave it and eat it cold, I prefer to have custard with my crumble, but you could have ice-cream, cream or whatever you choose. SPAMOODLES:(these are (c)MrPanda) (you can make them though, we'll let you) You will need, 1-3 packets of instant noodles (actually, it depends on how many you're feeding, how many packets you need) a few bits of spam (diced) hot water how to make, make the noodles up, as per the instructions on the back of the packet (different noodles have different instructions) once the noodles have been cooked, place them into a pan put the spam into the pan with the noodles cook on the hob until you think they're cooked enough (5 minutes is normally enough) if you like, you could add some herbs or spices or basically whatever you've got to hand once it's all cooked, drain the water from the noodles, put it all on a plate or in a bowl and serve with lettuce or whatever else you fancy with it.

You wouldn't be let loose in my kitchen. If you're good at boiled eggs I might make an exception though, I can't cook those the way I like them. The only thing I could be bothered to teach you to cook would be a chocolate and fruit tea bread because it's easy and doesn't make much mess to cook. I would show you how to make Cornish pasties but it takes too long and makes too much washing up.

Hi p1, hahahaha! I am not the chef here, it's my husband..I do know if I can impart you something that you would love! Anyway, maybe I will just introduce you some of our "Filipino dish" for a new learning but I'm not sure if you will love it! and the easiest I know is "lumpia", it's like spring rolls! LOL! Before leaving I will asked you to teach me any menu that you know for my new learning as well! LOL! Have a great day!

Well I'd probably start with some simple things first. One would be beef stew, its so easy to make in the crock pot. Then some homemade bisquits to go with it. Then maybe my cavatelli and garlic bread - both of those are pretty simple too.

Hi P1kef1sh, I've just started cooking about 2 months ago - so well, I've got this very simple dish that you can try. It's baked chicken - marinate chicken drumsticks / pieces with black pepper sauce and ginger paste. Leave to stand for about an hour, and bake it in the oven at 250degrees C for about 25 mins. It's quick, simple and we like it very much (at least my husband does!) Maybe you can come over to my kitchen, and I'll make this dish for you to try!

Well, I would have to teach you all my favorites..Homemade spaghetti sauce made with sundried tomatoes and sweet basil with a hint of garlic. Spread over spaghetti noodles and sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese. Or Baked Mostaccoli,pizza,chili, burritos,lasagna, and a few others. My dishes are easy to learn and make. Nothing to complicated and I am easy to please..I would have you make Baked Mostaccoli because it is a favorite of everyone. I think you should have a journel of your visits and then make a cookbook and publish it with little bits and pieces of the journel in it so people will get a small look into the lives of the people who taught you how to cook the meals...

im from Asia and people here mostly opt for rice but i know you people love bread,tomatoes,leafy foods more than rice so i cant just tell you our Indian food receipes.Any ways if your intrested jus try this tiffen cook the rice and cut carrot, beans, cabbage,raddish . take the pan take add some oil to it and add these veggies and cook for 4 mins ( if needed add onion too ) then add some salt and pepper ( add salt according to your taste and pepper for spice,the more you add pepper the more taste will be added) then add the cooked rice mix the rice along with the veggies for 3 mins, serve it with tomato ketchup or kitchdi kitchdi - cut onions ( 1 or 2 ), cut carrot ( 1/4), cut green chilli ( 1/2 ),add curd ( till all these ingredients get mixed in it ) . You can use noodles instead of rice too. Will you try this receipe? If you have tried just write to me about how it tasted [em]happy[\em]

Meatloaf is a good thing to cook and it is fairly easy. My recipe for meatloaf is simple. Take a pound and a half of ground meat, put a egg in it, a little bit of milk, some ketchup and Liptons dry onion soup mix. If you choose to add a few other things like bacon pieces or chopped up muchrooms. The oven should be heated before mixing up the mixture to give it a chance to heat up. Then squish all the ingredients together and form a shape of a loaf and stick it in the oven. The oven should be at 350 degrees. Cook for 1 to 1 and a half hours. Comes out nice and moist. To me this is a simple and quick way to fix a meat loaf. My husband loves it and it is very moist.

I reckon it would take you about a week to work your way through my washing up and locate the cooker. You may want to allow a little longer here

I'll teach you how to make a fantastic caramel appletini, then a chopped salad with roasted walnuts and blue cheese crumbles topped with olive oil vinaigrette, grilled salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, oven baked shrimp scampi, and steamed broccoli with parmesan and pepper. For dessert we can have lemon berry crumbcake and some iced coffee with vanilla syrup. Enjoy!

Well we have alot of different enjoyable dishes here in Jamaica. We have rice and peas with Chicken. Maybe you are use to this one so I will teach you our national dish. Ackee and Saltfish. Two dozen Ackee. Take out the seed and the inside. Rinse and put to boil. Saltfish. You boil it. After boiling, you scale and pick it up. Chopped escallion. onion, pepper. After the Ackee is cook, then you throw off the water. You used your sauce pan and heat it. Put in some oil, when this is heated you put your chopped seasons with some black pepper and then you also heat these. Afterwhich you put in the Ackee and Saltfish and stirred. After about 10 minutes you take it off. This can be served with fry dumplins, roast breadfruit or eat with rice and peas. I hope you will enjoy your stay here in my kitchen.

I am in the sad predicament of being married to a man who eats only meat and potato. Either steak and mashed potato, steak and chips, roast meat with roast potatoes ... it's boring! My son and I cook up stirfries and other more interesting fare, but my husband will not eat onion, mushroom, tomato, capsicum, rice, pasta, garlic, chilli, curry ... if you get the picture. You'd hate being in my kitchen. (Almost as much as I do ...)

This one is for dinner my dear p1ke; first you must taste Jamaica's favorite soup the "Manish Water" that is a mixture of different kinds of meat type but it must include mutton. Secondly you have to try out rice and curry mutton or festivals (an oval shaped fried favored dumpling) and fried or steamed fish of your choice. STOP! STOP! STOP! You can't go back home without tasting our national dish Ackee and salt fish with boiled dumplings. Would like some natural mango carrot drink beside all that or some papaya juice OK I'll just give you some bread fruit and potato juice with vanilla if you please . Just take home your dessert for i know you'd want to eat our sweet potato pudding all year round. HAPPY EATING

P1ke,if You can boil an egg,you can make muffins! A cup of plain flour,a half cup of corn meal,half a tsp baking powder,half a tsp baking soda,a couple of dessert spoons of caster sugar (more if you like 'em sweeter) a pinch of salt,about 1.5 cups of milk,1 egg,half a cup of sunflower oil,a little vanilla essence..if you like dried fruits,cherries,etc,about 1/2 cup of those can go in..or not..mix all the dry stuff,mix all the wet stuff (just stir 'em together) pour the wet into the dry,mix,not beat,and pour into muffin paper cups in a muffin tin,or use one or more of those newfangled silicone muffin cup trays-they're non stick,so no paper cups needed..this is enough for about 6.sprinkle some sugar on top,it helps mahe the tops a little crunchy..bung em in an oven at gas mark 5 for about 25 mins..(stick a sharp knife in one and make sure it comes out dry-then they're ready..) and voila! corn muffins!

The one meal my mum taught me to make was cheese and potato pie! We loved it as kids, it goes well with baked beans. Ive also learnt to make chocolate cake so that can be for afters if you wish. You make the drinks and I'll get the ingredients together.... Other than that Im pretty useless at making meals unless its simple!!

Gee all these wonderful things that people are suggesting sound delightful. Although I am from the States and don't know what half the things are that you are talking about, I would be willing to try. Right now this time of year, the most simplest thing around here is a grilled beef steak, a baked potatoe topped with sour cream, corn on the cob and for dessert strawberry shortcake topped with whipped cream. Depends on the time of year what I am going to cook. I hope you get saome great ideas. Best wishes!

wow... i love to learn cooking too... i learn quite a few from my mom but she's still the best cook. no question.. ummm i am interested too in learning some new recipes from mylotter =
