Ok so, here are a few of my favourite things to cook

Spaghetti Bolognese

You will need,
As much spaghetti to feed whoever is eating
As much garlic as you like
Beef (or other) mince (as much of) I prefer lean mince
A bolognese sauce
Some chunky chopped peppers
3 oxo cubes
Herbs/bay leaves
(optional) finely chopped chillies
(optional) chopped tomatoes

First get a pan of water on for the spaghetti. Plus a lil oil to stop it sticking together.
While that's heating to boil, take a separate frying pan and throw in the mince, add the oxo cubes (ground with ya fingers) this will coat the mince and turn any juices into a nice thick gravy/sauce.
When the mince is all browned off, add the peppers, garlic, chillies, herbs / bay leaves, and bang the spaghetti into the water. Fry off a lil more to get them flavours going.
Add the sauce and tomatoes and leave to simmer till the spaghetti is done.
Serve up to hungry mob!


Potato salad

You will need
New potatoes
A lil butter
As much mayo as it takes
Herbs (parsley / mint)
As many hard boiled eggs as it takes
Peppers (chopped to pinky fingernail sorta size)
Chillies (finely chopped)
Onion (chopped as per peppers)
(optional) some kinda hot sauce but I prefer not too hot otherwise you can't taste everything else

Steam the potatoes, leave to cool and chop into cubes then throw them into a big enough bowl for serving.
Add the mayo, peppers, onion, chillies, hot sauce, herbs and butter.
Shell and quarter the eggs then run em through a slicer and add, mix, stir and serve to starving mob!


Beef stew

You will need
Beef (ribeye or medallions work well)
3 oxo cubes
Fresh veg of choice (in my case sweetcorn, peas, carrots, french beans)
Powdered casserole mix (sausage tastes better)
Load of water
Potatoes
Garlic
Dumplings (suet)


Simple as, bung the cubed meat into a pot, add the powered mix, oxo cubes, boiling water, garlic and cook for 2 hours.
Add the potatoes, cook for 2 hours
Add the veg & dumplings and cook for an hour and half. Serve to ravenous mob!
