    I don't see too much of an issue in trying an adventurous recipe or two. Sometimes when you read a recipe book you nearly want to fling it out the window, but that's far from the case here. The recipes don't have to stay simple - once the unusual/rare ingredient(s) serves the recipe and instructions are clear we'll be grand. That or we can use a close substitute if one is suggested.

    Most of the recipes so far have a fairly short cooking or baking time which probably helps given how busy some people are, simmering for a while doesn't seem to put people off, either. I don't drive, I'm unemployed and my local supermarket has a very limited range of things. However, I discovered an Asian shop in Dublin by accident (was looking for a different one) and will be going back.

    Done. I've also tagged people that have already posted a recipe onto the bottom of the list. Let me know if anyone would like to be removed.

    I'm up in a few weeks, so have to get planning on something else.

    Sure there are an infinite number of possible recipes. Do some research!

    I'm all nervous about my contribution! :D

    If it makes you feel better brown bread and the rice bake were also on my shortlist before they were posted :D Think how people in 6 months time will feel trying to find something a variant of which hasn't already been posted :p

    Ah, I know that, it's just funny because myself and IB were just saying last week how funny it would be if someone posted what I had planned before me. :)

    I waited with bated breath to see what Faith would post the week before me, before I was in the clear! Phew!

    I hope this doesn't lead to people trying to book recipes before they go to press. The mystery and intrigue sustains me every Sunday night :cool::pac:

    Can't be having that, although I'll be up early next monday and if my new idea is posted, I'll be deleting the thread and banning the user. :D

    Have to say I'm really enjoying this project. I'm not much of a poster, but the C&R forum has always been helpful and easy going and continues to be.

    The recipes don't have to be anything amazing or unusual. They can even be your version of an every day food like Shepherd's Pie. Personally I'm always open to improving my recipes, so I'd be delighted with basic ones. Anything you cook yourself will be a suitable recipe.

    I would think even side dishes would be a good idea, like if you have a really tasty way of doing veg, or your perfect roast potatoes or something. It wouldn't necessarily have to be a full meal?

    Exactly. It can be a starter, a main, a dessert, a side dish, a treat, an occasion food, a snack food - anything you like. Make your own Mars bars? Post that recipe!

    I think more than anything else it should be a dish that you make quite regularly, or at least one you're very familiar with. That way it'd be easier to give advice on how to cook the dish.

    I tried my dish on a trial last night, and it looks smashing.

    Don't know what it should be served with though. About to have more for my lunch now.

    It's something where I'll be introducing a skill that I think would serve anyone looking to better themselves in the cooking stakes, nothing too complicated, and if people want to try the dish, but not bother with the skill, then they can substitute for shop bought replacement fairly easily.
