Talking of moose ... one of the finest and most popular vegetarian cookbooks in the world is the "Moosewood Cookbook".

I've been to a friends house for a slap up meal, it turned out all her meals were made from that books recipes.
I tried a sampling from each of the dishes she placed before me.

My feet didn't touch the floor after I said, "can we come to a compromise? Throw this lot away, I'll eat the book".

I imagine it being something like venison -not a fan of "gamey" stuff myself.

Much prefer a straightforward gammon steak topped with a fried egg! Can't get 'em in Italy, or decent back bacon either for that matter. It's like being in the third world - and no Vimto either as I recently discussed with Sue on another thread, though I discovered you can get it in the Cape Verde Islands!

So it's either a visit to Accy or there next time I fancy a glass...

Ha ha Dianne you'll have to go a bit further for your Vimto - it was Gambia not Cape Verde, sorry!

It's kinda like venison ... or maybe horse

... And from reading the economic news from that side of the pond, much of Europe seems to be heading for third world status. By the way, the best bacon in the world comes from Canada. But no Vimto

Sounds nice!I couldn't cook it at the moment as our oven's broken lol but if I was cooking xmas dinner I would definitely attempt it. I like vegweb.com, for the odd time I do want to use a recipe-I love cooking but mostly just figure things out for myself.

Haha to be fair, I do cook the contents of the wrap before I 'bung it in'

You are right about that Eric - things are really bad over here especially for young people. Latest statistics in Italy show that 36.6% of 18-24 yr olds are out of work and have never worked! The others are all students...!

As to Canadian bacon -not so sure -been watching a programme with a famous Canadian chef called Lynn -yesterday she was using turkey bacon -YUK! I did like what she did with maple syrup though...

Thought I'd show you where I spend much of my day - was cooking rib eye steaks last night on a special "stone"! We don't eat in the kitchen -have a separate dining room.

Is there a video of it? perhaps you'd have to put it in over 18's?

Forgot to mention she was with a bunch of Lumberjacks for the maple syrup episode -very entertaining...Would much rather leave it to your imagination -so much more scope for enjoyment then! You can invent all the recipes you want that way

Roast chicken every Sunday up here at Rishton Towers, a firm favourite. Prep for dinner then it's into the Great Hall with a book and a bottle of red by the fire while everything cooks.

Has my favourite day of the week for several years now.

Sounds like a recipe for success!

I had a change of plan today as my other half didn't fancy lamb - Roast pork instead with crispy roast potatoes, apple fritters, mashed carrots with buttenut squash, cabbage and a delicious onion herb gravy! Went down a treat - afternoon indoors as it's freezing cold outside and I went for a walk this morning crunching through the snow.

I think it might be a hot chocolate sort of afternoon here!
