I just made and ate my first ever microwaved chocolate cake in a mug.
Rather impressed, although I need to adjust the timings a bit, it was kind of over cooked and crumbly but taste was there.

I wanted a quick sauce for my steak, so I tried a creamy mustard sauce recipe I found online. 2 parts creme fraiche to one part whole grain mustard. Simple, right? It wasn't revolting, but it wasn't good. Even adding more creme fraiche didn't help.

10g coconut flour, 3g baking powder, 10g cocoa powder or drinking chocolate. 25g whey protein. 60-90g of water depending on the whey or cocoa used.

Mix. 1:45 on medium. 200 calories 20g+ protein.

Try this simple one that uses Worcestershire sauce, it is very nice:-

Its Burns Night, so of course were having haggis, neeps and tatties for dinner

Captain · 25 Jan 2017 at 18:37

What are neeps?

Edit: oh swede, why not just call it swede

Craig1981 · 25 Jan 2017 at 18:40

Cause its Burns night! One does not call turnip anything other than "neeps" on this night!

BennyC · 25 Jan 2017 at 19:43

Rather good.

Wizzfizz · 26 Jan 2017 at 18:15

Poor pic

Slow oven cooked steak, creamy mash, roasties, green beans, stuffing and gravy. Very tasty

Glaucus · 28 Jan 2017 at 15:01

tuna salad with mayo and franks red hot sauce mixed together. probably not many peoples taste, but god it went down well. franks makes everything taste good.

Captain · 28 Jan 2017 at 15:52

Frank's hot sauce is rank, just tastes like vinegar

Glaucus · 28 Jan 2017 at 16:04

What's wrong with you vinegar is great and vinegar based chilli suaces rock.

Captain · 28 Jan 2017 at 19:38

It's not like I don't like vinegar but hot sauce is supposed to be hot, not sour like vinegar.

Stan_Lite · 28 Jan 2017 at 20:44

I also thought Frank's hot sauce was awful. My home-made hot sauce is made with vinegar but you can taste the Habaneros way above the vinegar. With Frank's, I taste nearly all vinegar with a hint of chilli. I believe I described at the time as tasting like a bottle of vinegar somebody had dipped a chilli into.

Stan_Lite · 28 Jan 2017 at 20:47

In fact, here's the very post.

Presumably made with Frank's "Hot Sauce" which is just vinegar that has had a chilli dipped in it for a few seconds - utterly rank.

Glaucus · 28 Jan 2017 at 20:59

each to their own i like it, their xtra hot one is also reasonable strength.
also makes a great base, if i'm doing wings, ill add crushed chilli, garlic, ginger, butter, and chilli flakes.

embrace vinegar, vinegar is so nice.

I bought this for this year's hot sauce. I just hope I get a good Habanero crop to use it all up
