Homemade gingerbread with a crust is the best, soggy gingerbread like in the shops is rubbish.

Homemade scones, shortbread and rock cakes are good. I don't like fancy cakes too much but that doesn't stop me eating them if available.:o

Highlander you can drop any excess home baking off here LOL!

For me the best thing about home baking (well my wife's cheese scones & bread anyway) is scoffing it lashed in butter while it's still hot. Mmmmmmm *homer style slevers*

I make a leg of lamb with a sticky sauce from a cordon bleue recipe which was in a set of magazines which were published in 1969ish. Its FANTASTIC and i have done it for twelve people with three legs of lamb and watched them fight over who gets to pick the bones - - wonderful

i think most ppl love home cooking....i love baking...especially when i was a child with my grandmother....she taught me most of what i know.....personally i think there is too much added ingredients in food today.....most of u cant even pronounce never mind know what it is.
Although it never stops us buying these products too......does this make us hypocrits??
Home cooking rules....lol

Recipe for Guacamole - Avacado dip

Me, I love home cooking and baking too, but I'm rubbish at baking as I get bored creaming the butter and sugar and they end up like weights.

sorry i had to laugh at gettin bored with creaming the butter and suger......that what its all about though.....gathering and mixing all the fresh ingrediants together and tasting the end result....lol
as it happens modern technology is on our sides now so if you enjoy baking invest in an electric whisk....as this maybe a lazy way but to say the least a quicker way...this should surpress the bordem before it set in...lol:lol:

When I was at 'home' I used to get my dad to cream the butter and sugar once I got bored. Hubby is actually better at baking - but only because I won't let him stop creaming the butter until its light and fluffy!! I do have an electric whisk now ..... just need to find the time ..... and buy in ingredients!! :lol:

I've never been a very patient person....always loved getting a taste of the uncooked mixture from the spoon...:lol: and I'm afraid I still do that now :eek:

Well, as a result of this thread, I went out and bought ingredients and made a batch of butterfly cakes, but as I kick started my diet I didn't get to lick the bowl :( They seemed to turn out ok, Jeid had first sample and I think he survived it and hubby, well, he'll eat anything :eek:

I don't have a lot of choice with home made as a ceoliac I have to make sure everything is gluten free, so it is easier to just do it my self.

Drudgery Cooking (rush home from work, look in fridge, and whip up something) versus Glory Cooking (have all the ingredients, time to cook properly, and diners who say thank you).

Hate the former, love the latter.

My husband makes excellent cheese scones, pancakes that are better than the baker's, girdle scones etc. Only thing is he gets really grumpy when he stands for ages at the cooker making the pancakes, and when the mixture's done, there's none left because the girls have eaten them all!

I'm the one who can throw everything in the pan and make something quite tasty - he's not so good at that.

I can't cook, bake, or any of those culinary things, but I do enjoy my wife's cooking, etc. My tastes are simple. Today I ate a good chicken salad and chicken noodle soup. As a diabetic I must be careful about too much sugar and I must control my weight. I did too much of the wrong type of eating during my youthful years and now I must be careful.
