Only four dishes???

Posted Date: Monday, March 19, 2007 - 5:09 PM
How can people in Britain only know how to cook four things?  That's mental.  This is my list of currently rotating dinners (ie. I've cooked them at least twice in 2007 so far)...

-chickpea curry
-okra curry in which the okra are generally replaced with courgettes
-stirfry with random veg and crunchy peanut butter (yes, I am disgusting)
-soups (vegetable, carrot and coriander, brocolli, spinach, parsnip and ginger)
-puy lentil warm salad thing
-ratatouille
-risotto with random veg (courgette, butternut squash, cherry tomatoes)
-chilli con carne (sin carne)
-baked peppers with tomatoes in them and couscous
-various breads, sponge cake, chocolate fondants (YAY!), pancakes, biscuits etc etc.
-and things which I'm not sure really count as cooking like omelettes, baked sweet potato, and my most frequent dinner of a couple of different veg (often raw or masquerading as a salad because I'm lazy) and whatever soya/ veggie processed crap is on special offer in tescos.  Or falafels, which I'm addicted to. 

Probably the hardest thing I've ever cooked is quiche or when me and Matt made pasta or had to debone that monkfish (stupid bloody monkfish).  Cooking new recipes is definitely one of my favourite things to do, so I find it really hard to understand that only-cooking-four-recipes-and-one-of-them-being-sausage-and-mash-which-is-frankly-not-a-recipe-but-just-the-cooking-of-a-potato thing.  More falafels!
