Split from: What%27s+For+Dinner%3F+3That's what I was thinking. One can never tell from a recipe and a photo whether the food tastes good  Besides I hate having to buy a whole bunch of stuff then only need a sprinkle of it. Maybe we can have a fave recipe thread?? So it is done  I like making cannelloni, and it is something our whole family loves to eat. Very simple to make too.

I make chicken parmagiana about once a week.
Chicken schnitzel, cooked under the griller. Top with tinned spaghetti sauce (or tinned tomato mix) and grated cheese and nuke in the microwave til the cheese melts.

I dooon't cook  I honestly would, but my mum really likes cooking and my brother (who is currently living at home to save money) is a chef, so I don't really to need to at the moment. If I do cook, it's generally just pasta or stir-frys. |

You have a chef in the house, get him to teach you to make some things, you'll be glad once you move out |

He's a TERRIBLE teacher. He gets frustrated at the way I chop vegetables - um, it works fine and it's for ME not for a restaurant! I like making cupcakes. That's about the extent of my baking! |

Microwave food is not real food you lot My favourites to make are lasagna(and a mexican version i made up), crumbed chicken and pesto sauce, vege pizza, heaps of salads (especially asian noodle salad). Dessert wise i'm a fan of cheesecakes (choc mint and mars bar), puddings (chocolate and butterscotch) and pies (apple and peach). |

The only food I can make are a few pasta dishes. So I guess they are my favourite to make. |

I love minut steaks, I marinate them for a full day, maybe close to two at the most. Then grill them up with lots of steak spice and Baked potatoes.

So what are some easy starter recipes people would suggest to the non cooks to learn on (or the lazy cooks like me ) ? |

Raimon's favourite (a bit fattening though I think)
250g fettuccini
4 rashers of bacon chopped into little strips
6 mushrooms
300ml cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan
cook pasta.
fry bacon in pan for about 2 minutes, add mushrooms and cream and simmer til it starts to thicken.
add parmesan and mix well then add pasta and mix until it looks good.

We had this with veggies a few nights ago but we melted the cheese under the grill. Turned out well and the kids loved it  |

Yeah I was just reading through this and realised I'd said that haha. If I use frozen schnitzel I cook in the george forman then nuke it in the microwave. Sometimes I do it all in the oven.
