Without passion there would be no attitude ;D By the way - I watched the US KN a few months ago and it amazes me that there are worse "chefs" over there than over here and I use the term "chef" very loosely :-X although some would say I'm loose with more than words (right mike? lol)

I'm a huge Gordon Ramsay fan (not in girth lol...... : OK OK before Cory says anything.....in girth too ) and I'd be happy to have him scream at me all day if I got the same results culinary-wise as his understudies (I usually have to pay for someone to talk to me like that :-[ ;D).

I'd give it a go but unfortunately I make Jade Goody look cultured and refined LOL

here you go unclebuck

Anyone been watching the new series? How do you think the two chefs compare? Personally I'm a GFR fan ;D I watched the new HK-US series a few weeks ago (I won't give any spoilers but the right person wins it IMO ).

This new UK series is a bit too calm for me although given MPW's reputation I'm sure it won't be long before he throws a wobbler lol

Who do you tip to win it?

Hi pH

Just add enough water to keep the sauce to a soup-like consistency, I like my soup like I like my men (a bit on the thicker side lol).

@Woks Up....I only go shoe shopping at the bondage warehouse ;D Are ya sure you wanna join me? I might make you try on an outfit or three although I dunno if you'd be able to totter about in my 8" spiked heels

Hi Chiz

When I cook curry for a lot of people I usually cheat and make 3 or 4 large batches of different curries - madras, vindaloo, dopiaza and a CTM for the wimps lol -  (sized to feed around 10 people) that way I don't have the worry of making one large batch and not being able to get the spice mixture right for my liking I also cook the rice the day before and freeze then microwave to heat it when serving ;D

There again I have to cook it all the day before 'cos these days I need a whole day to get me slap on for a party but that's another sad story : lol

There's one here although I haven't tried it personally

Thanks Mike

I used darth's base as that was my current fave at that time. The pic I posted was of the leftovers but I got enough for three hungry eaters and what's left above out of it I've since made it using Stew's base which gave a bloody good result too, although a little hotter lol ;D

If you prefer a sweeter flavour to your curries, sprinkle your onion rings with a little salt while frying as it releases more of the onion's natural sugars and cuts down on bitterness i8f you happen to slightly overcook your onions

Thanks for the replies guys Glad you liked it ;D

LOL @ Woks......Remind me never to go shoe shopping with ya luv ;D I don't need to try every pair in the shop to know what suits me and fits my style and they say women are hard to please :
