I have a Lemon Drizzle cake in the oven to take over to my brothers new house. I've never baked before but just felt like making something cakeish!

Also I have some meatballs under the grill which will be added to some sauce for work this weekend. Needless to say a house smelling of baking AND beef has me in heaven right about now.
 
Turnip, onion and potato, about to mash em up with a bit of seasoning and butter... To go with some tuna steaks that I'm going to try wrapping in foil to see if it keeps them a bit more moist.
 
These ones aren't that decent. Got them in aldi, they're frozen. They're ok, and this time in the foil they didn't dry out.

I've had proper tuna steaks before and they're a different thing altogether.

That's it there. I think I might get them again actually. It was pretty tasty considering it's very healthy eating. The foil made a huge difference, that and a bit of pepper. Went well with the mash.
 
Wouldn't know how to - I'm very amateur in the kitchen.. and now that I've tried them baked in foil I don't think there'd be a way to improve on it.

When I cooked them the first time around without the foil they weren't nice at all, that's why they've been in the freezer for a couple of months because I never felt like eating them.
 
Pop em in some non stick paper (baking parchment), with a little oil or butter, and seasoning (salt, pepper, maybe lemon, chilli). And steam them for ~10 mins. Might be worth a try.
 
What would I steam them in? I've never steamed anything in my life. (I have the feeling that question exposes me as a cooking nub)

Everyone has to start somewhere :)

Some pansets have steamers (they sit in the top of pans). If not a colander / sieve (metal) would do. Boil water, put sieve over, put in fish, put a lid of some description over it steam.
 
I've marinated 2 pork shoulder steaks overnight so will stick them in the oven for a couple of hours and have a late lunch.
 
Preparing a beef curry. Using brisket marinaded for an hour in home made curry paste. The paste consists tomatos, onions, garlic, fresh ginger, ground coriander, ground mustard, ground fenugreek seed, gournd ground cumin, tumeric, a cinammon stock, a teaspoon of cider vinegar and finally a whole lime juice and strips of rind. I'll remove the stick and rind when i cook it tonight.

I'm also making chana dall, just soaking the dall at the moment.
