Pizza I find quite easy. By which I mean start-to-finish pizza, not just sticking one in the oven. Y'know, make some dough, stick it to one side, dither around, make a super quick tomato sauce (with garlic and spinich) and then some crap for topping (anything, doesn't seem to matter).
Or there's the lazy curry - chop up a load of things, hoof in some spices, a bit of cream or milk or tinned tomatoes, leave in the oven on a high heat for a bit. I don't really do complicated, now I think about it. I sometimes make pasta from scratch, but that's more long-winded than complicated.

There's nothing complicated about it, it just takes a cuntload of sweat to make. Water, eggs, flour and sweat. And then I'll usually make lasagne or some shit, which is easy, innit?

all cooking is easy, yeah? it's just a matter of wanting to put in the time. i have never tried to make pasta. i guess i need to look it up, huh? i'm not usually a fan of lasagna.. which is weird because i love all the incredients. i'm going to do this. i have found the longer you have to cook something, the better it is. |

my recipe for success: penne with ricotta in spinach in the oven
for four people: 500 gr. of penne 500 gr. of ricotta cheese 100 gr. of parmezan cheese 750 gr. of fresh spinach sour cream 4 eggs pepper and salt cook the pasta al dente, dip the spinach in boiling water and chop it into smaller pieces. put the pasta in an oven dish. mix the ricotta cheese with the eggs, sour cream and parmezan. add the spinach, papper and salt. put the mix on top of the pasta and put it in the oven for about half an hour. leave to cool and stiffen for five minutes, then serve. i'm sorry, i only know the quantities in the system we use here, but i'm sure the internet can give you something to translate this... ps: roast some pineseeds for extra tastiness and turning it into a full vegetarian meal. |

Chop some mushrooms, and fry them at low heat. After that, chop some potatoes, some, leeks, onions, and a little bit of garlic. Boil them, add some salt and one vegetable stock-cube. Add a little soy sauce to the mix, pour the mushrooms into the pot with the rest of the vegetables, boil for a good 40/50 minutes. Serve soup.

For me, I was intimidated by cooking for a long time because there's always this sense of 'parboil for EXACTLY 32 seconds then add 1/52nd of the cubed parsley [etc]'. There is a lot of cooking that's like that, but for the average person, all you need to do is know that undercooked meat = the shits and dry things tend to soak up moist things. So with pasta, you get 2 eggs and a small amount of fine flour in a bowl, mix up (with your hands, take off any rings so they dont get covered) and keep adding flour every few minutes (and a tiny smidge of water & salt) until you've got something springy and stretchy. You then spend a million years rolling it out (roll/ flip/ roll) and cut into sheets. OR if you're doing other pasta, boil it for not too long (2-5 minutes I'd say, but too long and it goes shit). I tend to make lasagne with a layer of potatoes, peppers, herbs and spices on the bottom, a sheet of pasta and then a layer of mince fried with onions and tomotoes and a few spices and then another layer of pasta, with optional cheese on top. Stick it in the oven until it looks like it's alright (bearing in mind that everything's cooked already, this shouldn't take long) then serve. Piece of piss.

I've found decent curries are all about marinading the meat over night with those small button peppers, a whole lime's worth of juice, a smidge of orange juice and paprika, ginger, pepper and garlic. I tend to prefer using cream over yoghurt when cooking, and add onions and tomato at the same time as the cream (ie, when you're cooking it after it's marinaded) And basmati rice - steep it for 30 mins before boiling, boil and drain, then fry with butter (or ghee!) and a smidge of milk/ cream and 4 or 5 cloves of chopped garlic. This cooking writing lark's fucking difficult.
