SO this is the recipe section! I have a million recipes, typed up or in my little hand written recipe book, but slowly I would like to add them here and share them. My advise when cooking is actually not to follow recipes, well maybe do the first time, but just use them as guide. Get inspiration from them and ideas and then play with the flavours and ingredients yourself and then you become a great cook. I don’t really measure and never follow recipes, although I have hundreds of recipe books, I suppose the exception to this rule is baking, which I don’t do a lot of myself and also if making spice mixes or curry pastes. . If you don’t have all the ingredients, especially veggies, rather than things contributing to base flavour, use what you have or what is in season and substitute things. With a few core items in the pantry, you will be able go to the garden and use up what is left in your fridge and make amazing dishes.

Please add any great dishes to the blog or get in contact- also check out the GULP project page , to join in our community based local food, recipe project!
