Oven chips, is it ever possible to get them right?, the hardest of all things to cook.

I've very rarely made them myself but when I have, I just wait for them to go the right shade of brown.

Try using an Air Fryer instead. Really good from one of those.

Of all the oven chips, I find 'french fries'-style the most successful in replicating the real thing. The thicker cut ones are always a bit soft and stodgy IMHO

Spent ages prepping a paella (with noodles) fresh mussels, squid, prawns ...... sadly was surprisingly tasteless, disappointing.

Tonight will be steak, pepper and onions on skewers over the bbq with a salad, bbq'd corn on the cob and fries.

Clear blue skies here in the SW so will require some gin and tonic.

NOTHING requires G&T, might as well drink 'Enry Cooper's Brut.

Always enjoyed a French onion soup..cooked one yesterday for the first time and it was very good indeed and a nice relaxing way to kill a couple of hours in the kitchen. For reference I used Tesco finest beef stock from pouches.

It may have been nice but it was not french onion soup. You need chicken stock.

Two fried sea bass fillets with new pots and a Greek salad. Must eat more fish, easy and delicious.
