Courgette Love

Posted on July 31, 2008January 2, 2012 by redeye

I have grown some courgettes and I have rather a lot. I have made a courgette cake (courtesy of a Nigella Lawson book) and, I have taken to pickling them as well. it’s a recipe we’ve mucked about with, so we can safely call it ours. I’d be happy to post it if anyone’s interested. [note: […]

Wild Garlic Burgers

Posted on May 26, 2008January 2, 2012 by redeye

Gee went to Brighton for the night for her best friends birthday, so the kids and I thought that we’d cook. Cool. I thought about an amazing lamb dish I saw on the F Word the other night, but thought better of it. It might work, it might not and the kids get nothing to […]

Toaster Tongs?

Posted on August 2, 2007August 15, 2009 by redeye

While perusing Gizmodo I discovered another one of those “gadgets” that defies belief – Toaster Tongs – so that you can safely get toast out of the toaster. I love toast. I’ve been eating it for about 30 years and I can’t once ever burning my dainty little fingers trying to get already popped up […]

Update on the “Sesame Oil and Eczema”

Posted on July 16, 2007August 25, 2012 by redeye

Should have posted this ages ago as an update to the Sesame oil regime that I started with my son. Anyway his eczema completely disappeared after about four weeks use, he still gets a little itchy every now and again, but nothing that would indicate a full on eczema attack, so we rub in a […]

Good afternoon fellows of the world. We’ve been hibernating from the awful “summer” that we three Brits are having. So to get us back into the MCC madness we’d like to get some ideas for summat to cook. Any suggestions? Nothing too complicated, something that we can learn from and then post back here to […]

Sesame Oil and Eczema

Posted on March 16, 2007August 25, 2012 by redeye

My boy(7) gets eczema on his arms, it’s nothing compared to some of the people out there, nevertheless it’s highly irritating for him and he scratches it until it bleeds. We took him to the doctors and asked not to be given any steroid cream and were given an alcohol based cream instead. The idea […]

Now this is Man Cooking…

Posted on February 18, 2007 by redeye

Lightly toast some bread. Add a really, really thin spread of marmalade (optional, but try it…). Top with grated cheese and apply the MAPP torch. You’d be surprised just how close you have to hold it to get the cheese to brown—I started waving it vaguely in the direction of the bread, but ended up […]

Posted on January 22, 2007August 15, 2009 by redeye

I’ve just found this amazing site, which gives the science of cooking a whole new meaning. It’s inspired me to add a new “science” category for the geeks among us. Here’s the formula for boiling the perfect egg. 🙂 Yeh, it freaks me out too… A quote from the article: “As is evident from the […]

Steak and Kidney Pie

Posted on January 20, 2007August 15, 2009 by redeye

First up this year we have a surprise. Anyone who’s been perusing this blog over the last few months will realise that most of us at the MCC are pure novices in the art of cooking, which is why the “steak and Kidney Pie” is special. It’s the first recipe where we the disciples have […]
