Hi ladies and gents.
I know there is a large selection of people that enjoy cooking on ye old forum, so I was hoping to pick a few tips up on cooking a Vegetarian Roast Dinner.

Not simple things like boil the potatoes etc, I know the basics. I'm hoping to get a few titbits of information that turn average cooking into taste sensations, the type of info parents or nans pass down.
I.e how to get fluffy crispy potatoes, or the tips to honey roast carrots.
I know I can google recipes but I'm hoping for home grown ideas.

Lastly, thanks.

Do we now!!! I did not know that. Apologise, can this be moved.

Haha I knew it would happen, hence the bold. No worries.

I know how to make a good old time roast with fats from meats, but without it I'm at a loss how to make the flavours. I'm hoping to get some ideas on adding flavours to boring old veg

The better this taste the more brownie points I earn.

Nah she told me what she likes as a main. It's a Linda Mcartney veggie pie, some good veg is going down as small accompaniment. Just want to make it look like I can cook by added some funky extra tastes.
