Skin on!!!

bake it in salt.

^ lovely.
but needs a shit-tonne of salt (imperial measurement)

So I'd pan fry with skin on if your salt cellar is running low, Check this out;

Actually needs that much.

or grilled with a bit of olive oil, thyme and lemon juice.

or baked in foil with the same.

simple = best with good fish.

Impressive though. It cracks open and there's a steaming pile of tender, tasty fish within :)

That.

Piece of piss and guaranteed tasty.

My thyme died.
I have basil though..... so, full fishy stuffed with some basil and a little garlic. Foiled and baked. Served with some couscous with beetroot and fetta mixed through? Or is that too much?

I'd say beetroot will overpower the fish and would leave it out.

I'd keep the basil to last thing, it's much nicer fresh than baked.

fish with little bit of garlic, salt, pepper and some lemon / lime is plenty nice as is

Thankyou all. I am now inspired and hungry! Tis going to be fab.

pics or it didn't happen.

Pics?

i took pics of the risotto process but i've pic'd enough these last few pages so i shan't post. besides risotto's not that photogenic. it is delicious though. plentiful leftovers and a tomato salad for lunch. *gurgle

Went to St John last night, had bone marrow which I'd never had before. Tasty. Served with very thin slices of toasted sourdough. Parsley, shallot, caper salad. Sel Gris. and four big chunks of bone.

Hot. Fatty. Sticky. Delicious.

I was london at the weekend - went to bodeans, it was lush.
went to the breakfast club in hoxton on sunday morning - got there just before the queue started, eggs were ok, service was terrible, but it was worth it for the haircut spotting.
had the best macchiatto of my life at lmnh too. excellent.
Also had ace pizza, wine, thai food, salt beef and hashbrowns at places i don't remember the names of.

too much i think leave out the basil keep it simple and have the cous cous salad as freshener.

fish, lemon time, salt pepper in foil or mabe have some roast fennel too.

whole fish is such a treat

uh edit did the fish happen ?? im a bit slow on the uptake today

£5 dinner. at work we have been given a £5 (spend at tesco or M+S)for tea and im out of ideas and bored of crappy ready meals ..so the challenge
£5 tea, only cooking implement is a crappy microwave kettle and a toaster. any ideas.

Beans on toast.

buy a m&s salad and stick some kind of cheese (goat / feta / ? ) and sprouting seeds on, perhaps a few extra cherry tomatoes too

Toasted sandwiches. Nowadays you don't need a proper sandwich toaster, your regular one will do. Supermarkets sell these sleeve things which you place your toastie inside of, and then put it all into the toaster to grill. The results are really good. Invest in these sleeve things (I don't know exactly what they're called), and devour imaginatively filled toasties.

Sounds good - are they reusable or do you need a new one each time?

breakfast club is bizarrely overrated and massivley oversubscribed. i find it's popularity baffling. every saturday morning there's a queue of trendies out the door when there's equal and better food, service and atmosphere to be had all around. who the fuck queues down the street to eat an everage breakfast in a crowded cafe? is it the 80s film referencing name and ironic 80s album covers tacked to the walls? honestly? I think it is. whatever.

same sort of thing with ottolenghi, although the food is actually lush in there i can't imagine ever standing outside in that scrum of bugaboos and saturday guardians waiting for half an hour to get a seat at the one big table for scrambled eggs on toast. it's just nuts. get a grip people.

beans on toast = good but had that the last3 nights..it like blazing saddles on the night shift
salad is good option.
toasty sound good aint seen them.

thanks will investigae
