Tried and true favourite recipes

I think we must be related. My mum was a very poor cook. My granny lived with us and she cooked basically until I left home. I don't think mum ever actually cooked for me. But Granny was very UK style, and the concept of curry was to throw sultanas and keens curry power into it and serve it with boiled potatoes 🤷‍♀️

Bloody jingle stuck in my brain now. 😂 Thanks.

MrP's mum made fabulous baked goods (as did my other granny but she did it on a wood stove. Refused to use a new tangled electric one when grandpa bought one.) But his favourite meal was when his mum burnt the chops once and they actually had some flavour.
We had that version of curry! Usually made with leftover cubed lamb roast
 
I've been making the usual buffalo Chicken style wings, usually with out the blue dressing, varying the method slightly according to what I've recently searched for on the internets (that's my name for this thing now) but made these on the weekend and they are just fabulous. I made far more than we needed so have been snacking on them and today towards the end there is this wonderful gooey lip smacking sauce in which the leftovers are bathing in. Don't forget the crushed peanuts.
 
@blackcat20 I know you're a big sourdough maker - do you ever put anything in it - I'm thinking rosemary, olives and garlic or something like that but looking for inspiration. I know I can google it but would be interested if anyone else has some suggestions.

I've put mixed grains in it before, but I'd really like to try some mixed dry fruit at some point.
 
I have made a spiced fruits sourdough - I'll post the recipe later. Makes a beautiful bread but I'm looking for something a bit more savoury. All of my bread recipe books are in storage and I like browsing cook books

I’d just work with my standard recipe and mix In whatever I fancy.

Mrs FB has a round birthday coming up ...... any suggestions on a recipe for making a cake, that an idiot like me couldn't stuff up? :)
 
A chocolate mud cake? Don’t have to worry about it rising and if it’s a little undercooked doesn’t really matter
 
I do have a recipe for a Guiness chocolate cake. Maybe I could give that a whirl.

Very easy and quick. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave on low - don't worry about over a bowl
Use at least 70% chocolate

Elizabeth David’s Flourless Chocolate and Almond Cake​

Ingredients

115 g bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces

85 g butter

85 g sugar

85 g ground almonds

1 tablespoon brewed espresso

3 eggs, separated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 290 °F/145 °C. Line the bottom of a spring form cake pan or a tart pan with a removable base, with parchment paper and butter the sides.

Put the chocolate and the butter in a bowl and melt over barely simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, almond powder, rum and coffee until smooth. When the mixture has cooled, mix in the egg yolks, one by one.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks then fold them into the chocolate batter. Pour into the prepared mold and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Allow to cool in the cake pan before unmolding. Sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
