Ingredients:

One decent sized banana;
As much cheese as you like.

Mash banana.
Spread banana on naan.
Grate cheese.
Sprinkle cheese on naan.
Cook...at about 200 degrees C/400 F/Gas 6-7, until...erm, it's done. About 12 minutes, I think.

It's fucking good, I tell thee.

Everyone knows, but you can cook scrambled egg in the microwave.

Here's what I made today (and yesterday):

Baked Alaska

Cookie Base (find your own gosh darn recipe)
Ice Cream
Meringue:
60mL pasturised egg whites
A pinch of Cream of Tartar (or a few mL of lemon juice)
60mL (maybe) of granulated sugar
-Beat egg whites untill they form "soft peaks"
-Add Cream of Tartar
-Gradually add sugar, and beat untill dissolved.

Place ALREADY COOKED cookies on a cookie sheat or jelly roll pan. Place a scoop of icecream on each. Cover icecream completely with Meringue. Freeze over night. Next day, bake in the oven for approx. 5min at 300F, untill lightly brown on top. Serve immediately.

Erm...I meant the naan thingy...I might try your bolognese recipe some time, but veggie mince isn't that nice. I'd be forced to add Marmite as well (the mince is crap otherwise).

I would of never thought of adding marmite to mince I suppose it would improve the flavour *applause*

Or Bovril--they're banning the beef :O.

Mmmm, yes. Works best in a shepherd's pie, but anything where you use mince, it improves it.

i figured that out too late... and then couldn't be bothered to edit in the hope you'd just ignore me. plus, forgot you're a veggie

If there would be one food that I would think that everyone in the world would benefit from knowing how to make, it would be tortillas. All they require for ingredients is flour( ~ 3 cups, 350g if you want to measure things that way), salt (1 tsp/ 5g) and water. Combine flour and salt well, add some water, and start kneading. If it seems too dry, add a little more water. If it seems to wet, add a little more flour. The main thing is that you want to knead the dough for a while - 8 minutes at least. Longer is better because they are supposed to be tough anyway. Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.

Rip off some dough and roll out into a nice flat, thin circle. Heat a little oil in a pan on high heat. In this case, a little oil is when you can get it to separate into small drops evenly distributed over the bottom of the pan. Cook tortillas for 45-60 seconds on each side, and that's it.

What it comes down to is tortilla + anything = burrito.

The Carpenter Family Potato Soup Recipe(Converted to modern, easy to obtain ingredients by Matt Carpenter.)

Ingredients:
Two Cups Brocolli
Five large Russet Potatoes
Two Cups Celery
One Cup Carrots(optional)
2 Sliced Precooked Chicken Breasts
1/2 Cup Mushrooms of your choice (optional)
1/2 Onion
1/2 Clove of Garlic
One Can Chicken Broth
One Can Cream of Mushroom Soup (If you are allergic or just don't like mushrooms, substitute Cream of Chicken instead.)
Two Cans Evaporated Milk
One Teaspoon Butter
A Small Amount Olive(or your choice) Oil
And the following seasonings in amounts of your choice:
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Italian Seasoning
Cloves
Parsley
Oregano
Tumeric
Red Curry

Directions:
Plop a huuuge pot on the stove. Wash and microwave the potatoes and carrots(optional, though this makes it far easier to slice them.) Place the amount of olive oil into the pan, then chop up and toss in the onions and garlic. Turn on the heat to a medium level, add a small amount of water to prevent the onions and garlic from burning. Then, while they are cooking, slice up and toss in the potatoes, carrots, and celery. If you wish, slice the brocolli as well, though I prefer to merely toss them in whole. Then place in the chicken. Now here's a key for good cooking: you have to add all of the seasonings--except for salt and pepper--right now. Take a spoon of some sort--wooden is my choice--and mix it all up so the seasonings and the fixings spread nice and evenly. Then put a cover on, turn up the heat, and let it cook for a while. How long depends on where you are, your type of stove, and all that good stuff. Once the fixings have cooked, place the chicken broth, mushroom soup, and evaporated milk in, along with the butter. Stir it up, making sure to keep the fixings spread evenly. Add in the salt and pepper as needed, wait till it's all finished, and you're done! Enjoy.

Heh, created this when I forgot to add the right amount of flour to a cake...

Twice-Baked Cinnamon Cake

1 1/3 cup sugar
4 T all-purpose flour
2 t cinnamon
2 T butter

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 c sugar
1/2 t salt
1 T baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 c lowfat buttermilk
3/4 c lowfat milk
2 T oil
2 T grade B maple syrup
1/3 c lowfat ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 c egg beaters
1 T vanilla

honey

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine streusel ingredients in a small bowl; set to the side.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and all remaining cake ingredients. Mix well until no clumps remain; batter will be runny. Spray a large rectangular pan with non-stick spray and pour batter into the pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel on top of the batter. Bake for 8 minutes and then remove from oven. Pour batter back into bowl and add remaining cup of flour. Pour batter into non-stick coated circle cake pan. Sprinkle remaining streusel topping on top of batter and press down until the streusel covers the entire surface. Squeeze honey over the top in a criss-cross pattern.

Bake cake for an additional 35 minutes or until centre is done. Let cake cool for 5 minutes and then invert on a piece of parchment paper. Streusel will create a sticky bottom for the cake.

Cut with a sharp, clean knife and serve warm. Makes 18 servings.
