Online recipes- do not be in a hurry to innovate

Many persons make the mistake of searching for recipes on the Internet only to behave like a professional chef when they find good recipes online. How many times have you searched recipes on the Internet only to come up with your modifications once you found a good one? There is no harm in adopting such an approach, right? After all, the recipes you find online simply happened to be the basis of further experimentation, right? Well, there is a small problem in this approach. If there is no guarantee that you are qualified to make the changes to the recipe. Your knowledge of the technical aspects of cooking may not be vast enough to facilitate such innovation. Unfortunately, very few individuals have the ability to admit this fact to themselves. Instead, they will make changes to the recipe and then complain that the Internet is not a good source for recipes when the dish comes out bad.

You know it’s been a bad time for food when you visit the local supermarket and realise that your budget just isn’t going to stretch as far as it did last week. Winter seems to be mimicking the economic climate; as the nights draw in so our purse strings tighten. However it’s always good to look on the positive side of things and what better way to do that then figure out what recipes you can make with the restrictions you have money wise. Hard times can breed creativity.

Glastonbury Recipes Made Easy

Summer time is festival season and I am an die hard fan. There is nothing better than pitching a tent, listening to great music, and then waking up in the middle of a field with thousands of strangers. Times are a bit tight this year and opportunity is the mother of invention, so I decided to invest in a really good omni fuel cook stove, so that I could make my own food on site at my selection of summer festivals.

Your first step after buying the stove is finding the fuel. The cheapest option is burning home heating fuel it is called red diesel, and it is so simple to find a supplier. I simply typed red diesel guildford into google and got a season’s worth of fuel for a very small amount of money. You will want to focus on one pot meals, fry ups and hot drinks, so get a kettle, small pot and a frying pan. It helps to plan your menus for the whole festival so that you only take what you need. I find that if I don’t plan I over pack and end up carrying in too much. for Glastonbury I planned for:

• 2 pancake breakfasts
• 2 vegie fry ups (veggie fry ups are easy because you can get a dry sausage mix and just add water)
• Chick Pea Moroccan tangine with cous cous
• Chipotle Black Bean Chilli with masa dumplings
• Spicy Peanut Noodles

Spicy Peanut Noodlesthe one pot trick to this recipe is to use thai rice sticks which are soaked in boiling water for 15 minutes instead of cooked. Boil the water in the kettle and in the bottom of a large bowl place a few handfuls of snow peas, put the noodles on top and top with boiling water and a lid. Let steep while you make the sauce. The easiest way to make an excellent sauce is to combine the following ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of pure crunchy peanut butter
• 3 spoonfuls of sweet chilli sauce
• 1-2 spoonfuls of soy sauce
• juice of a lime
• a small knob of fresh ginger grated
• a small splash of rice wine or rice wine vinegar
• a small splash of hot chilli sauce
• coconut milk is optional you can simply add a bit of boiling water and gently warm the ingredients.

The trick to festival cooking is to make a meal that combines a protein, vegetable and grain while only using one pot and focusing on grains that do not need to be cooked.

I was wondering what other vegetables would suit this method, thinking about fun and easy dinner party More
