I love to cook, I think I'm going to be spending the next few days making pickled onions and chutney as I've just cleared all the tomato plants from the garden and have loads of half rip ones.
I took a Yottam Ottalengi recipe book out of the library yesterday, I started drooling almost as soon as I started looking at it, unfortunately I think you need at least 6 people to feed as nearly all of it can't really be frozen and it dosen't look like you could realistically make smaller amounts.
I've started baking again too, I love baking, but I don't have a very sweet tooth and I crap at all the fancy icing and stuff, still no reason for not making a lovely moist apple cake, or a light carrot cake.
This is what I made for dinner; loaded baked potato soup

I boiled diced red skinned potatoes for about 15 minutes prior to draining them. I then put them in a pot, roughly mashed them (so that some pieces would be left in chunks), add some of the boiled potato water, a cup of heavy cream, and 3/4 of a cup of diced Swiss cheese. I also added a cup of steamed broccoli and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. The only seasoning I used was a bit of salt.
After putting the soup in a bowl, I added some salad toppers (crumbled bacon, sunflower sseds, and sesame seeds) along with some shredded Cheddar cheese
