Need to Know - The Basics?

Came across this link today:

20 Dishes you need to know

It’s a list of essential recipes for a flatter (or anyone else who regularly cooks for a large group of people). The first thing I noticed was how American most of these suggestions were. Well, obviously the lasagne qualifies as Italian food (but we all know it’s the Americanised version anyway).

Most of the dishes listed revolve around cheese, meat and pasta. Now I have nothing against a plate of meat smothered in (delicious, DELICIOUS) fatty sauce, but as a reasonably health-conscious person I thought it’d be a good idea to add some variety. Mac and cheese by itself is just carbs and fat after all, I reckon we can do better!

So over the next few months I’ll be compiling some recipes that’ll be easy, cheap, tasty and healthy (yes, these do exist).

Mmmm Salt + rice... We can turn this instant Risotto into something that actually looks like what's printed on the packet =)

Happy eating!
