Pizza that didn't rise but tasted OK. I need to get new yeast.

Yet another curry. I got carried away so this one had a nags chilli, two birds eyes, a couple of long dried chillis and a couple of normal chillis too

The mushroom looks especially fab!

I would quite likely kill for a go on that curry.

I would quite likely kill for a go on that curry.

If it didn't kill you I had to have a drink with it.

[Topcat]

Of course!

I still cannot do curry at home. I made one last weekend, and whilst it is nice it's not the madras that I was led to believe.

I will carry on trying though.

[Heebie Jeebie]

I got some Tastesmiths packs and they were good, and better after freezing the results. I'd recommend giving them a go. Also are you adding plenty of salt, oil and a stock cube? I find that makes all the difference.

[Topcat]

Cheers, I'll take a look. I rarely use a stock cube, that's something to think about.

[Epponnee Rae]

Heebs commitment to the chili is truly marvelous. And the curry and everything else looks delicious (though I’ve no doubt the curry would have me sweating and calling for a lassi )

I had more wholesome pizza dough to use up. The toppings look better as I got some mozz but I didn’t stretch enough so the middle was a bit thick/doughy. Had to go back in the oven for a bit. Anyway, I feel I am at least learning what not to do each time!

I made a worthy but tasty lunch today, inspired by a ‘power bowl’ I got off a sinker market deli counter a couple of weeks ago. It’s basically grain (quinoa) + chickpeas and some veg in a lemony turmeric dressing. Plus houmous.

[Derek Nimmo]

That curry looks amazing but would have me running for the milk!

Prompted by Ken's thread - nothing revolutionary but fridge bottom roasted veg, olive, avocado, honey roast ham and pea shoot salad. Nice change from my usual sandwich / bagel.

[Heebie Jeebie]

Black pudding "salad". 8/10, next time I'd add bacon.

[Kenickie]

Oooh I haven't had black pudding for ages. Must rectify this soon.

[Pippedydeadeye]

This was lunch.

Is that tortilla pip? The tomatoes look gorgeous.

Inspired by you and the fact that s is in school for a week from today, I cooked today for tonight. I’ve made beef and pork koftas (they’re a bit big and messy and obviously as yet uncooked) with garlic, onion, oregano,cumin, coriander, and mint with some chilli flakes through them. I made my own tzatziki with dill, mint, garlic and lemon juice and it’s gorgeous if I do say so myself. I’ve also made a tomato and onion salad with loads of basil as a leaf (our greengrocers has brilliant herbs fresh and really cheap) I’ve made a balsamic and olive oil dressing ready to pour over with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. We have wraps but I might skip them given the size of the kebabs.

[Heebie Jeebie]

That salad looks so fresh and lovely. As do Pip's tomatoes I'd love to be on holiday right now, eating tomato salad and drinking white wine from a carafe at an outdoor table.

[Blondiejude]

Oh yes heebs preferably on a Greek island. Ah well, I can have the wine with it in my pjs in the living room watching the rain

[Pippedydeadeye]

That looks great!

Yeah, I just bought a couple of ready made tortillas for lunches.
