In The Kitchen

Successful First Attempt Cooking

Quick and smart cooking scones without using a cutter.  A soft scone dough, cut into strips then roll onto small coils.

9 -10 minutes baking in very high heat 220 degrees C

No, it does not need to light up the oven, the stove would do to cook this pizza.  Non-baked pizza with cheese and bacon.  Serve hot,  sliced and garnished with greens or mixed herbs.

A lazy day,  one-pot meal.  Spiced yellow, tomato rice, steamed with fresh prawns and sliced mushroom.  Delicious, easy dinner from a pot.  Omit the garnish, good as it is.
