raw food

elolaugesen — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 17:24:33 GMT

While chefs(and potential chefs) must be able to cook all kinds of food for customer's taste (including rosemary) I think that the constant demand and requests for undercooked beef, lamb, venison and tuna is not what the real world wants. In a group of people discussing various cooking shows not one of them really like the raw food that Rosemary Shrager and other chefs seems to be pushing and make viewers believe they should be eating.

Also the constant demand for salt - salt - salt is not what most of the world wants (only britain seems to ask for it)

The cooking shows should be looking at the healthy(less salt) and more average tastes that most restaurant customers wants rather than the extremes.

britains best dish.

I just cannot understand how this programme selects 3 winners of the day daily from mon-thurs . Thereby making 12 winners (3 in each catagory) by the friday, only 6 are present for that weeks final. What has happened to the other 6 winners. Otherwise a great programme.

robertandpat — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 18:35:13 GMT

I have a pieice of parma ham. As I do not have the facility to thinly slice the meat, I cannot use it to 'wrap' or to include it in salads. Does anyone know of a recipe that can use the meat in chunks?

Ever hopefull

I do wish Anthony Worrall Thompson would show a little more respect to people who are more talented than he is, especially with regards to Gino D`Acampo.On today`s programme he made what could be construed as a racist remark about Italians.He was the same in the last series of this programme and while I appreciate that a little banter is par for the course, deference to other chefs would not go amiss.

Britain's Best Dish

pauljay — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:55:18 GMT

whilst the recipes and finished product are good. If anyone of them tried to cook in my kitchen with untied long hair and nail varnish, they would soon be taken to task. How can renowned chefs let this happen on television.

pork & leek sausage rolls

iwilldoit — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:05:08 GMT

Did anyone see the alan titmarsh show today. The pork and leek sausage roll receipe calls for 'double minced belly pork' Can you buy this already prepared. Is it raw - or do you have to buy belly pork - cook it - and mince it. I am new to this message board so I hope there is someone out their that can help. Thanks

Coffee machines

Velvet — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:35:24 GMT

I just love the Cafe latte you get in the coffee shops. I would like to buy a coffee machine that makes lovely lattes, I purchased Kenwood Mr Frothie, but the coffee always comes out too strong and not as much froth you usually get with lattes. I have also bought the sachets, of the switch, (the one you pump), - not a nice coffee taste. Kenco lattes, are not creamy, I have even tried making the coffee with milk, but you dont get the layered top bit.

I quite fancy the Nescafe ones, Duco? or the Tassimmo. But when you buy the refills for these ,they are really expensive for a pack, .

I cannot afford a lot, as I dont want it to be a waste of money again, I know I am fussy, but I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and certain milky drinks give me diarrohea, that is why I need a machine, as I never have problems with the coffee shop lattes.

Can anyone suggest or recommend the best ones to get, if they have tried or got one.

thanks

Where are the cooks

fatwizard — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 06:08:48 GMT

How the ( Insertyour own rude words ) can some one else take all these dishes around the country and say that they were cooked by someone else.

Did the owners of the dishes cook em or did ITV fool us again by telling porkies by cooking the dishes and not the cooks who were on telly cooking them.

or am I wrong about it?????????????

Britains Best Dish

proudbrit — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 16:35:42 GMT

Britains best dish as seen on itv is a cooking competition to find britains best dish. So hence why i bring up this subject is the fact that on this programme britains best dish they are cooking foods from a diffrent country someone please tell me this. I want to find out britains best dish not every other country and a bit of british cooking. So why are these idotic people who made the show making out as if we are not proud to be british these recipes are not british so why is it on britains best dish. its simply idiotic we are so afraid of being british and it all comes back to "we are so multi cultural" and who are they trying to impress certainly not me. So i believe you should rethink either the name of your competition or your rules and outlines

'Bumbles' Brownies Recipe

angel459 — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 08:53:52 GMT

Hello all. I absolutely love this programme. I've been signed off work for two weeks and am addicted to watching this programme. I made Farida Patel's (week 4) Chicken Tikka Masala and Ian Bubb's (week 4) Apple and Plum Crumble with Hazelnuts and Plum Ripple Ice Cream which was divine. All my family loved it and that means a lot as I'm not known as having the best cooking skills! This week I'm going to try a few of last weeks main dishes, but can anyone give me the recipe for Rebecca Marfell's 'Bumbles' brownies with clotted cream and raspberries as I'm having trouble accessing the web page. With all that said, I hope they produce a 'Britain's Best Dish' cook book as I would definitely be in my element and prove to those that I do have some culinary skills albeit from a cookbook!
