    Can anybody recommend a good cookbook for a total noob such as myself?

    Eating out all the time is too expensive but I love eating good.

    The internet.  Thats what I usually do, searchof dishes/ingredients you like and you'll come up trumps.  If you like, start with steak (some recipes in this thread) and move on from there..

    I don't have even a single cookbook! I just get inspired by recipes I see on TV, or use the internet! So many recipes online, and on youtube, so many cookery shows teaching you how to cook simple dishes!

    Something like that. I think cakes are a bit thicker though. Might just turn the leftovers into pancakes tomorrow. How high a heat should I be using? They're quite difficult to flip.

    Where did you go wrong, Peru? They're really easy to make.

    Dinner tonight was chicken and courgette burgers with a mint-yoghurt dipping sauce. It was fun making chicken mince Afro:

    Grated potato, not mashed. You grate potato, thinly slice an onion and bind the two together with whisked egg, season, form into pattys and fry.

    I think my mum does an indian version, served with youghurt and a sweet brown sauce (cant think of the name), but think that has much fewer ingredients and tastes like its potato on its own.

    They don't form into pattys, they're too sloppy. I didn't grate them, just roughly mashed them. That's probably where I went wrong Tongue Oh well, I'll just fry them into crispy mash. They taste really good so it wasn't a complete mess Tongue

    I think my mum does an indian version, served with yoghurt and a sweet brown sauce (cant think of the name), but think that has much fewer ingredients and tastes like its potato on its own.

    Just spoke to her, and she calls it aloo tikkeya, and the brown sauce is sweet tamarind chutney.  She just fries mash potato, and we normally used to eat it as an appetizer when breaking fast.

    Had a sweet tooth this evening and could be bothered going to shops and found a quick recipe for making toffee on the web.

    4 ounces of butter, 1 pound of caster sugar & small tin of evaporated milk in the microwave for 5 mins.  Stir, and then in the microwave for another 4 mins.

    Pour and wait for it to set in greaseproof paper lined in a tin.  NomNon, just hope they dont pull my fillings out

    Are you sure its not just because its out of your comfort zone, and you've had little practise?  Try making something you really like thats quick & easy, it might make you see it differently.

    I know what you mean IsLame.  There's a strong element of that, plus I think until now, I've taken the easier and quicker option (microwave or oven 001_tongue).  Perhaps I should be brave and take the leap.  I've done that with many challenges in the past, including of course, apostasy (which is not an easy challenge by any means). Afro

    On a side note, it occurred to me when I was in my leaving stage, that perhaps religious/traditionalist parents from the desi culture ensure that their sons don't have cooking skills, because that way they are dependent on their mum to cook for them until they get married, after which they are dependent on their wife to cook for them.  Hmmm...
    Thinking hard
    Seems like a clever strategy that many traditionalist cultures have evolved to survive.  Of course, the daughters are denied an education to keep them trapped too.  Maybe I should start another thread for people to add their ideas about these kind of strategies.

    You dont need to be brave, for many (including me) reach a stage in their life when they can no longer eat another, never mind even look at another, microwave or frozen ready meal again. 

    At that point you will have no choice but to move onto stir fry's and you'll fly from there..
