About me: Almost vegetarian (I eat some fish and seafood, and all cheeses). Not a great cook but I like to eat, so I give it a go. I'm a big fan of simple, nutritionally balanced dishes with a lot of flavour, and I often come up with my own variations after trying any number of recipes. I'm not a fan of dinner parties and I don't tend to make anything special for guests unless they have food allergies or pet hates and can't eat what's cooking - home for me is somewhere to hang out rather than 'entertain'.

THE BEST OF SAINSBURY'S ORIENTAL COOKING

By ANON.
SAINSBURY - 1994

Simple but a lot of stirring. Very sweet but not sickly.

The recipe is flawed - the aubergine and potato is put in at the same time but the aubergine cooks quicker, which means it is mushy by the time the potatoes are cooked. I'd rather find another recipe than faff with this one.

Melt-in-the-mouth, cooks quickly under a grill or on a bbq. Recipe does not include any sauces or accompaniments, and it really does need to be served with something else.

A very good, simple chutney to serve with cold meats or hard cheeses.

I enjoy this very much and serve it with Tomato Rice from the same book (pg 127). It's not as nice without it.

Not bad but I prefer it with something than on it's own. So far the only recipe I've found that it works with is Egg Curry with Yogurt from the same book (pg 31).
