Hello all
As I think I've mentioned 400-500 times, I am no cook, and pre-Atkins could only cope with just a few simple recipes, like...toast, for example
So thought I would share my eventful day in the kitchen! I've been scouring the Just Recipes thread and got stuck in today -
- tuna patties
- celeriac dauphinoise
- butter chicken
And the results were pretty good (probably because the recipes are foolproof).
They didn't go all my way...with the tuna patties, I was halfway through adding feta (wait for it) when I realised I was following Bren's meatballs and feta recipe (goodness know what my brain was thinking!). Persevered and they were v nice except for the explosive amount of chilli I put in! Had three for lunch on a bed of rocket with a squirt of mayo on top.
I've just had butter chicken with lettuce for dinner, and it was fab - and so easy, even I could do it and not muck it up!
Also made the celeriac (which I've never had before) dauphinoise - which looks lovely - and then quelle horreur realised that celeriac is 15g carbs per 100g - so will have to cut it into very small squares and freeze it for treats.
Next challenge before I conquer Everest is to try an oopsie!
