I hope don't mind another newbie.
I don't know where this one came from but I make it occasionally as a large snack.

Garlic Mushrooms

1 cottage roll
4oz butter and a dash of olive oil
2 or 3 cloves of garlic crushed
8oz mushrooms


Fry all mushrooms in garlic and oil/butter
Take the roof off the roll, scoop out the middle of the cottage roll, and place garlic mushrooms in cavity. Pour over the remaining juice and replace the roof.
Place in oven Gas 4 for 5-10mins
Eat and enjoy whilst hot.

This is really filling, and all ingredients are approximate according to taste.

As I looked at this thread today I thought how can I leave Genes? Certainly as far as the new setup, which I think of as a catastrophe , I could leave today but.....how can I leave my friends and helpers? The answer is I can't, so I will change my platinum and go back to basic with this new and horrible way of seeing our tree.

So you will all have to put up with me for alittle longer, and keep sending your Recipies

:-)

Thank you Bridget,

There is one or two recipes that i will try very soon :-D

Mea culpa comes to mind, I did see your ebpntry and am going to use it in a day or two for husband and myself

Thanks for the reminder.

I wonder if anyone noticed that I put a recipe on on the 26th. Bridget did you see it?

Pleased to read that you are trying our Recipies, I hope you enjoy them.
Perhaps you could add some of your own Recipies or suggestions re meals etc.

Good luck with your hunt for the book. I just wondered if you have a radio station where you live? I know that in Norfolk for example you can call the station and they try to help.......might be worth trying.

I look forward to reading your recipe

Thank you very much for taking the time to look on ebay for me Bridget, I am on the case. In the meantime I am enjoying the recipes (tried and tested) on this thread.

Thanks again.

I have just looked on eBay and there are many recipe books on there including the year you are looking for and at a reasonable cost. I typed in the following

cookery book book for Kenwood multi cooker 1980

They were quite a lot

Hope this helps,if not I have a few other ideas.

Good luck

Bridget

Thank you Bridget. I have looked on the internet and although I found the appliance (or similar) no recipes. I would appreciate you trying if you have time, thank you so much.

Oldbean

I do not have what you have asked for but just wondered if you have tried asking on the Internet. I use this very often, I just write what I want and the send it. Not failed me yet.

I will try this for you tomorrow and let you know the outcome.
I am fairly confident that you will get help on here.

Bridget

Has anyone got a recipe for a Kenwood Multi Cooker please? It is the one with a non stick lining and a crock pot inside with domed lid. Probably circa 1980's. Just bought it second hand no recipe book! I would be grateful for replies as I hope this has a tenuous link with this thread.
Thank you.

Hi Bridget, quite a pleasant day here today although a bit breezy. Here is the recipe our son in law cooked for us last night. It was very tasty.

Chicken braised with cider and bacon

Serves 4

Olive oil
4 chicken legs or 7/8 thighs
4back bacon rashers cut into strips
1 onion sliced
1 tbsp plain flour
450ml dry cider
1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard


Heat oven to 190C/fan 170/gas5

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a roasting tin or large casserole/pan over medium heat.
Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove.
Add bacon and onion to tin/pan/casserole and cook 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute, then gradually add the cider. Simmer 2 minutes then stir in mustard.
Transfer to casserole dish if using a non oven type dish sit the chicken in the dish and cover with foil. Put in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve with potatoes and veg of choice.

That frozen mousse makes a lovely milkshake.

Big dollop,pint of milk in the liquidizer.

We have some fruit in the garden such as oranges, apples, pears and even some figs so I might just harvest them on the day and make a fruit plater. It is toooo HOT to do much more. However I appreciate your suggestion as it is in line with my thoughts.

Hope you are slso having good weather.

If you are looking for something for afterwards how about fresh fruit salad? Or even just fresh fruit.

BBQ on Monday

Have bought the steaks, the German sausages, chicken and friends are bringing fish. Along with potato in a sauce which I make, some new potatoes, variety of salads and fresh crusty bread I think we should be OK. I used to make cakes and sauge rolls etc but it is just too too hot

Any other easy suggestions are welcome.
Bridget

Just reading this made my taste buds ride high, i will try this in the next few days

Thank you

Frozen Fruit Mousse

15fl oz fruit puree
2 egg whites
10 fl oz double cream

Easier than ice-cream,none of the whipping and beating houry.

Chill the puree and cream. The recipe says to lightly beat the cream and softly whip the egg whites.

Then you fold the cream into the puree followed by the egg whites.

Put it into a container and freeze it.

This is how I have used up some blackberries.
