Better eating for crap cooks?

I need some kinda cheffing help. Basically, I'm a bit of a shit cook, I can only cook about 4 or 5 meals, and I wouldn't say any of them out me in contention for any head chef's jobs! That said though, I do like to get a little bit creative from time to time, and in fact have what I would call two of my own trademark meals... Pollo del Ross (chicken with a mushroom and sweetcorn sauce), and Hag Bol (it's like spag bol, but with haggis... don't ask).

Basically, I was wondering if anyone had good recommendations for simple but healthy recipes, or even like some websites that have stuff I could fling together with simple, cheap ingredients. I mean simple to the point that it's even pretty difficult for me to find things like peppers in the crappy shops near my flat!

Any help would be much appreciated

Hmm, look a little bit complicated for my liking, and the ingredients are mostly things I don't have any hope of ever getting my hands on

Anyone try cooking fish much at all?

ok. this guy has a good deal of meat recipes, but his dishes are tasty and about as easy as it gets without resorting to frozen and canned everything

same recipe

Original recipe given on Food Talk with Rocco on WOR Radio. Exact measurements and method was not given during the show so it is open to individual interpretation and method.

Acorn Squash
Sea salt
Olive oil
4 eggs
Tarragon (chopped)
Shallots (chopped)
White Wine Vinegar
Red Wine Vinegar

Get a couple of acorn squash, split them and bake them in the oven with a little bit of sea salt, some olive oil and a little bit of molasses, and then just serve them halved or quartered. Actually, the porcini mushroom stuffing right inside those little cavities in the squash would be great. You can even put a little bit of egg in there and then stuff the squash and slice it like a pie…


I like vinegared mushrooms as a matter of fact. Just get regular button mushrooms or whatever mushrooms you like, cut them in halves, put a little bit of oil in a super hot pan sauté them quickly, and cook them until they're brown on the outside.

Then deglaze them with white wine vinegar, remove them from the pan and put them in a bowl. If liquid starts to drain out, remove that and reduce it. Toss it with chopped tarragon, chopped shallots and red wine vinegar, and then take the mushroom liquid that you reduced and add it back in there. Toss and serve at room temperature

Yield: Serves: 4
