About Patrick

Member since Dec 20, 2006

While I enjoy food, I sometimes find it hard to cook for myself. I find that most recipes are setup for more than one person, so if I can't convince a friend or two to come over for dinner, I usually just do take out. Food is fun. Recipes are fun.

Mouth wateringly good eggs.

As someone who doesn't cook for himself, this recipe has proven to be the perfect gateway into cooking more complicated meals. I just really love these eggs. The Boursin is a nice change from regular cheese, and substituting whole grain toast for the Brioche (still can't find it anywhere) is amazing.

I've made these eggs 5 times in the last two weeks. It's nice to have a recipe I can prepare for my friends and have them think I actually know how to cook.

Really tasty!

So, I have to admit to not liking polenta very much... too grainy for my taste. That was of course until I tried these cakes.

hmmm

I wonder what this dish looks like...

Amazing

Fried chicken. It's so simple, yet quite good. The hint of lime really makes this one.

I look forward to making this one soon.

This recipe rocks

Unbelievable! I actually almost drank the marinade when the prawns were gone. Just great flavour.

salt fiend

Hi Liz.

I do agree that the marinade is pretty salty, but I think I just really dig salt myself. It probably could do with a reduction.

I will be making this sauce again soon, so I'll try it with half the soy sauce as you recommend.

Again, I loved it with lots of salt, I'll probably drink even more with less salt...

wow

That is by far the most detailed step breakdown of a recipe I have ever seen.

Phenomenal. Even a lamo like me could probably make this one, I would know exactly what it's supposed to look like.

Bravo! And great pictures...

Olives

I know, I know.

Most people love olives, but I hate them. The ruin the taste of any dish they are in. I do fully respect that there are people that love them, but I just can't get behind that.
