Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Chips Chips Chips

I'm not usually once for absolutes, but oven chips are DISGUSTING!

Except curly fries, they're amazing once in a while (see maybe not so absolute).

The worst thing I did for my health was to buy one of those mini deep fryers you put on the hob from Wilkinsons,
Still it's a damn sight cheaper than the chippy,
And if you leave the skin on, they're kinda healthier (yeah whatever!)

After much trial and error I would recommend..
Slicing your potato into little finger ish width chips and pressing them gently between two kitchen towels whilst heating up the oil until it sizzles when you drop a chip in (I usually reserve a runty one I dont mind wasting).
Bang your chips in and put the heat on medium, for 8 minutes, then turn it up as hot as you can get for another 5, or untill they're a nice golden brown. Shake out on more kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt.

Mmm chips!
Gotta go do me some right....now!
