Bairnardo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 For those that use the Pinch of Nom books, I had the orange chicken lastnight and it was really good. Only tweak to the recipe was a wee bit of ginger added. Seemed a no brainer since ginger and orange go good together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 My attempt at this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/sicilianstylesalmonw_87777 I used too few mushrooms by far and should have used more brocoli, but it was tasty, especially the salmon. Pleased with it and would have it again. Very easy and quick to make. Cheap too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try making that sort of food (lean mean/veg) for lunch and dinner and berries for breakfast and you'll lose weight very quickly. Well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 @19QOS19 @Bairnardo that’s me got all three of those books and my problem now is choosing what to make first. They look tremendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 [mention=12169]19QOS19[/mention] [mention=68117]Bairnardo[/mention] that’s me got all three of those books and my problem now is choosing what to make first. They look tremendous. Enjoy! This week I think 4 of our 7 meals are from the blue book. We had honey chilli pork last night and it was really nice (though didn't look like the photo). Tonight we had Mongolian beef and it deserves the rave reviews it's been getting. If you make the latter, the recipe says 100g of sweetener. f**k that. I put in about 10g and would have been scared if there was even 5g more. It must surely be a typo. The weeping tiger my fave so far but tonight I had the Coq Au Vin and it was excellent. Very impressed with it. If I had time to thicken the sauce it would have been even better. That's my only criticism of the books is that sometimes there isn't enough! But they do say add or take out as you see fit so it's a decent starter. Coq Au Vin is on next week's list 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think I might buy the books also. If I was going to buy one to start with, would you say blue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think I might buy the books also. If I was going to buy one to start with, would you say blue?I couldn't really recommend a particular one as they are all varied. I used orange most early on but then that was the first one I had so obviously I would have used it more. Since having all 3 we've used them all almost equally and I can't say I have a favourite as there are loads of good meals in each one. I'd just buy any of them and if you enjoy the food get the other two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often pitch it totally wrong for me. PoN does it a wee bit sometimes but what I dont like like is "CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING CHEATS STROGANOFF* AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING!!!" type patter. Its not, and I dont want some shitty cheat version of something good. Theres plenty of tasty and healthy food available. Tell me how to make that. The recipes in this book by and large arent like that. They are more honest about what they are, and so far, for me theres been no shortage of flavour in anything iv made. Theres nothing worse than making a creamy diet dish that tastes of f**k all but fat free yoghurt. *other versions of this patter available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say a wee bit about it and give you the recipe. You're right, they don't try and sell the food as something else - the sausage and egg muffin would have been the place to do this. I think I would struggle to tell the difference between that and McDonalds one. Absolutely incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
