How to make Mushroom Risotto

 This is just a simple risotto, a classic Italian dish. Risotto rice is the arborio rice, which can absorb a large amount of water and give out a creamy texture. Don't try it with anything else! Here we have simply used the Arborio rice, mushrooms, onion, Oxo vegetable stock, fresh parsley and grated vegetarian hard cheese (which works well as a vegetarian parmesan substitute). Arborio rice helps keep you feeling fuller longer and also help to detoxify the body. Also it's nice!

How to make Omelette with Cheese and Mushroom Filling

 An omelette is a simple affair, just whip up your eggs, add a little ground black pepper, bit of oil to the pan and off you go. On their own though they don't really have much taste, but you can fill them, or chop up finely a little mushrooms etc and add them to the egg mix before you cook it. They are always good with cheese and beans and make for a simple meal by adding some chips too! They are also good fried in a little olive oil which makes them light and fluffy.

How to make Mushroom and Pak Choi Stir Fry

 Who doesn't need a simple stir fry in their food arsenal? In this recipe I used egg noodles, since then I have also used rice noodles. Fresh packeted ones, and still a great result. The Asda stir fry oil with its mix of sesame, sunflower and ginger oil with extracts of garlic is a real find and worked well. Pak choi is usually found in Asda and Sainsburys too, so all supermarket ingredients. The omelette topping makes for a substantial meal too. Really you can put anything in a stir fry - bell peppers, spring onions, finely cut carrot as long as the pieces are small. Five minutes preparation perhaps and around four minutes cook, this is probably the fastest meal available.

How to make a Creamy Mushroom Soup

This recipe again started out in a book. I doubled up the mushroom quantity, reduced slightly the stock quantity using Oxo vegetable stock, and added some cornflour. This is my daughter's favourite soup so we have to have it at least once a week! It also makes a good Christmas meal soup. Always make sure the celery stick goes limp before you take it out though, and always use the freshest ,white mushrooms. Button or closed cup will do. Semi skimmed is the best milk for this so that it is not too rich. Out come the crusty rolls....

Indian Style Mushroom and Red Pepper Curry

Who doesn't love curry and this is a great recipe for a curry night! This is probably my favourite curry to date. This recipe came from one that was given to me at a party. I converted it and made it vegetarian with mushrooms and red pepper and  used fresh ginger and garlic and lots of Coriander. It tastes very much like a Rogan Josh as it's got fresh tomatoes in it. This is lovely served with Chapattis and a small salad of shredded Iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion. Squeeze a dash of fresh lemon juice on the salad just before serving. If you have it with rice be sure to use Basmati rice as the taste is far superior to plain rice. Made with easily sourced supermarket ingredients of red pepper, mushrooms, garlic cloves, onion, fresh tomatoes, fresh coriander and dried spices this can easily be put together and ready in just over half an hour, it also tastes great the day after too. With its all fresh ingredients this is probably one of the healthiest meals you can make. Everyone who tried this asked for more!! You can serve this with naan bread, or chapattis, rice, chips or anything. You can also make the onion bhajis featured on the channel as a starter to go with it. Grab a taste of India...
