YD Cook Book for MND Research

[Helen F H]

Ok, following on from the spectacular thread about cooking and recipies....

I plan to do a YD cook book to raise money for MND. Not sure of cost yet as it will depend on printing costs and how many i need to get done etc.

What can you do?

Post your favourite meals on this thread. Anything you like, from beans on toast to a five course meal. Everything will be credited to you, so dont worry.

I have other plans, but they need time, and thats something i dont have a huge amount for the next few days.

Also please vote on the poll if you would be interested in buying one of these. This will let me get a quote for the printing.

Go YD go

I's sure amongst my list of disasters I have cooked something edible - I'll try to remember what it was

This superb and good for vegetarians and meat eaters:

175 g / 6oz red lentils
1 chopped onion
2 gloves of garlic - crushed
1 tablespoon /15ml ground turmeric
1 tablespoon / 15ml ground cumin
1 tablespoon/15ml ground coriander
2 teaspoon/10ml paprika pepper
1 large (14oz approx) of chopped tomatoes
vegetable stock (water with a stock cube in it!)

Soften the onion in a little oil until it is clear, not brown. Add the garlic and stir for a moment. Add the lentils ( I always pre cook mine for about 10 minutes in lightly salted water and then drain and rinse before adding to the onion.)
Add the tomatoes and the spices and paprika pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly and then bring to the boil adding stock as required to prevent the lentil mixture from becoming too dry. Don't overdo the stock, add a little at a time. Cook for about 20 minutes until the lentils are soft but not too much of a mush. It will become obvious as you make it how it should look.

And yes to a cook book

(I'll ask my mum if you can publish it!!!!!)

Without wantig to dampen any spirits, i don't know how you can go about ensuring that any recipes aren't lifted from already copyrighted material, but it is something to consider. i.e. DON'T enter your favourite recipe from Delia etc....

For my recipe ideas, just add salt.

And yes to the cookbook idea; the original YD Can't Cook, Won't Cook....

I'd buy one.
