Okay I will join in. Take 500 grms of mince, a splash of olive oil and brown in a pan. Take a Discovery Chilli jar and sprinkle the spices over the meat whilst browning. When the meat has browned pour in the source and the required amount of water. Bring to boil. Simmer for 30 mins. Serve with rice and soured cream. See, I can do modern!
Drink all beer and cider, kill off beer munchies with dairylea and ketchup on toast, add pepper to taste

Vietnamese pork kebabs:
One for the BBQ:
1 boned shoulder of pork, sliced finely (to put on skewers)
In your blender/multi chef thingy finely chop 5 stalks of lemon grass, 3 cloves of garlic, 4 large shallots.
Add 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, + salt pepper and msg if you don’t mind it.
Marinade pork in this overnight then thread on pre soaked wooden skewers, mashing into sausage shapes on the skewer.
BBQ over very hot coals.
Take a while to make but you will want to eat them at every bbq.

Oh come on…it’s not like I asked for fresh herbs - was lowering expectations already! 
Go lower!
I refuse to cook anything that takes longer to prepare than it does to eat. I leave actual chef-ing to the Professionals!

Good thread!
A basic pesto. Serves two*
You’ll need a jug type blender. Put in:
All the leaves from two medium sized basil plants
Half a block of grated Parmesan
Half a small packet of pine nuts
Bit of sea salt
Couple of crushed garlic cloves
About 100-150ml of decent olive oil.
Whizz it in the blender, if it’s not turning into a smooth paste, stick some more olive oil in
Cook about 400-500g of Spaghetti, drain, mix with the pesto and serve
* Two adult humans with good appetites, not, as in most cookbooks, two anorexic dwarves who are a bit off their food at the moment

Cheat’s pizza
Take 2 slices of brown bread. Spread tomato ketchup over both.
Take the cheese from the Dairylea lunchables snack pack (ham) and place carefully on top of the ketchup.
Turn the grill on.
Place the two slices of bread under the grill for 3 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.
While you are waiting, thinly slice a fresh tomato. When the pizza has started to brown, cover the top with fresh tomato slices. Leave under the grill for another 2 minutes.
Remove pizza from grill once tomatoes are sizzling and serve with salad made from grazed carrots and remaining tomato. And beer.

Can’t guarantee nutritional value but at least you’ve got some salad on the side.
I had this amazing dish in Chania, Crete. I will attempt to relive the experience now I’m back in miserable England:
Because you’re an honorary scouser? Although if you actually are in Warrington, obviously then that epithet won’t apply, Decent recipe though.
Edit. P.S… More recipes needed - ta!
Ridiculously Easy DIY Pizza (makes one)
You will need:
- 150g self-raising flour
- 125ml plain yoghurt (Greek or natural)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Sun-dried tomato paste / passata
- Pizza toppings
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
- Put the flour, yoghurt and oregano in a bowl and mix to combine. The dough should be soft enough to knead by hand - add more flour if it’s too wet.
- Knead for around five minutes on an oiled surface, then stretch out into a pizza shape. Place on a lightly oiled baking tray.
- Add a tablespoon of sun-dried tomato paste and spread evenly across the pizza base. Sprinkle over your toppings, then bake for 15 minutes. If the base isn’t quite crisp when you take it off the tray, return it directly to the oven shelf for another 3-4 minutes.
Seriously, the best provencal fish soup. I used to buy it from Culinaria in Bristol. It closed a year ago sadly, but you can make it yourself.

I was reading somewhere the other day that Garum was possibly making a comeback. Maybe I’ll find my old latin books and see if I can find a recipe
