Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Saving recipies
« on: February 16, 2016, 07:41 PM »
Hi, is there a way of saving a recipie, or adding it to favourites, or some other way of finding a recipe that you can locate again quickly.

There are so many fantastic ones here that I'm getting lost  :)

Cheers
Mike

Thanks for the welcome guys, I've spent the last few hours reading posts and watching videos, think I'm beginning to get the basic idea, and your right, there are some great recipes, hints and tips here.

We've got an Indian Wholesale shop in Newport so it's off on the weekend to pick up some new utensils  :)

Cheers
Mike

I'm Mike, from Blackwood,as the member name suggests  :) in the South Wales valleys.

Getting on a bit, and missing the Tandoori and curry of the 80's.  Why can't I smell charcoal in any restaurant, the tandoors are all gas fired now, and even more disappointing, every BIR that I try has a kitchen with shelves of Pataks catering size pastes?

Neil Kinnock once gave an interview on Radio 4 salivating over the delights of "Blackwood Tandoori" in his words "best Indian food in the UK". It's now a very poor cheap and tasteless all you can eat Chinease "restaurant"

So, after years of searching for decent food I'm trying to recapture the curries that I used to cook myself, back in the first days of the curry club, where that was the only place I could buy genuine ingredients.

I've had a good browse and there looks some promising stuff here that I'm going to try and leave my feedback.

Me and the missus are able to make decent Tikka using an halogen oven, and our own spice blend (which I'll post on here) and are looking forward to creating an authentic Bhuna in particular.

Ok, sorry to ramble, but cheers for having me  ;D
