I can't believe I've only just found this thread! After being on SW for a year now, I'm certainly starting to get bored recycling the same recipes all the time but not anymore! Last night I had the chicken in bacon topped with mozzarella and tonight I'm having the breaded turkey goujons, can't wait to try them!
 
Pete, a quick question. Would your peanut curry be ruined without the chilli? I have 2 young kids and they freak at the smallest bit of heat in food. I was thinking of a little chilli powder instead. Do you think that would work?

Thanks ;)
 
Hi Babylove.
Welcome to my recipe book thread, yes you can remove the chilli if you want to, it will make a small difference to the taste but not too much, just watch if you use chili powder as some can be just as hot, try without it, if ok leave it out, if you save a bit, add it to that and try yourself.
Almost all of the recipes can be adjusted to suit, it it personal preference!
Enjoy.

I made these last night although used chicken, all I can say is wow!! It really felt like I was having a naughty treat, they were delicious, I will definitely be making these again, now I just need to work my way through the rest of these yummy looking recipes!
 
Hi Pete

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long but I finally made your peanut curry last night. It was deeeeelish. Thank you for sharing the recipe :)

I am making your Beef Curry on Saturday for my parents both of whom are curry fans and love new dishes. I only have a beef stock pot rather than the dark beef stock pot but hopefully it won't matter.

x :D
 
Hi GinMummy.
Don't worry about the stockpot type, I use the dark beef just to darken the curry appearance, enjoy.
Pete
 
Well Pete, I've just tried it and WoWSERS - it tastes great. It'll taste even better later when it's had time to...brew! Thank you again x

Hi Pete. I was just wondering if you could recommend a 'chip shop curry' type recipe? My husband is searching for a SW friendly one & all your recipes have been gorgeous so I thought I'd ask you!!
