What an excellent introduction Petri! I feel sure you will find your cooking "niche" and will come to enjoy cooking (and eating the results). There is no end of help and ideas here to get you started! Welcome. :)

Coffee: So, having grown up with Irish, tea-drinking parents in the UK, I had never tasted coffee at all until my next door neighbour gave me a cup of instant. (I was 16) And I liked it! (Never really liked tea to be honest.) Nowadays, I cannot even consider drinking instant coffee...

This is very interesting! Before my tulips bloomed, I had bulbs with green bits poking out of them too and I planted them with the green parts up. Seemed to work as they all came up beautifully!

Wily Dragn! I am trying to build up a variety of planting at the front of my house, (Low walls and a lot of people passing by on foot), so the entirely unused area can be made a bit more useful. I have put in some prickly plants at the edges, and about to plant a small pear tree...

Can't tell from this picture, but if those were thinly sliced, they could be what I would call "rashers" here in the UK. (Back bacon.)

I have a marble P&M (which I just wash like any of my other dishes). It's okay for grinding dry spices, but absolutely hopeless for garlic. (Or any dried leaves.)

My kit produced not a single mushroom. Very disappointing! Glad you got something to eat from your Dragn!

I got a bit over-excited and went for an online deal - so now I have a pear tree to plant! It's a bare root, and about 1.5m high. I am going to plant it out in the front garden this weekend and see what happens. (It only cost £5 so not the end of the world, but I am not sure I will ever...

I am an omnivore, though I don't eat a lot of meat. I do find that there are few meals you can't add more vegetables to! Any "stew" type meal - I will always add more and different vegetables to whatever the recipe says. Also rather bland things like Couscous are vastly improved by the...

These are basically canapes CD - what's the recipe please? (I can't replicate exactly in the UK, but I want to make them!)

Anything is bad for you if you eat or drink too much of it. I read, (years ago) about a person with mental health issues who drank themselves to death - with water. They effectively drowned. Broccoli is good for you. But if you only ate broccoli - you would die. Humans are generally...

Well, here it is - almost TOO easy and delicious! So thanks to GG as well!

Only 4 ingredients - all of which I have. I shall try it out this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion Taxy. (y)

Ah, maybe that was the problem GG. I sprinkled it on both sides of each fillet. But I couldn't really taste it at all.

Hi and welcome! I have a fair few Primroses in my front garden currently. Never thought about eating them! Are the flowers and the leaves edible?
