Hey guys,
The cookalong is happening Tuesday, and this week we're cooking Burger and Chips! I'd like to thank the good Doctor Stothers for allowing me to steal his recipe for oven chips, which I will be shamelessly reposting once the cookalong has come and gone. Incidentally, the recipe for the chips can be found on his new(ish) blog, First Contact, which is just as awesome as his old one.
Anyway, the ingredients:
For the Chips:
Potatoes
Vegetable or Olive Oil
Salt
Garlic
Pepper
Fresh (if possible) Rosemary.
For the Burger:
Some Buns
Cheese
Mushrooms (preferably the HUGE ones)
Onions
Lettuce
Tomato
Mince
An Egg
Plus as many condiments as you would like.
See you Tuesday at 8pm for this weeks live #cookalong!

Chicken and Mushroom Risotto
You will need:
Risotto Rice
An Onion (chopped)
Garlic (crushed)
Some Chicken Breast (chopped)
Mushrooms (chopped)
White Wine
Chicken Stock (I get the liquid stuff, not the cubes, although you can do otherwise)
Butter
Some Side Salad
Cheese
I'll post a recipe after tomorrow nights cookalong...
Update!
The recipe:
Stick some butter in the pan, get it hot and stick in the onion and the garlic, and when ready, the mushrooms. When they're looking tasty stick in the chicked and fry the lot till the chicken is white all through.
Pour in your risotto rice. Get it stuck to the chicken if you can, but mix it about for around 30 seconds, and then pour in about a glass of white wine. Heat up the chicken stock while your doing this.
When the wine has reduced, pour in the stock, a bit at a time, and let it all reduce, while the rice absorbs all the flavours.
After you've used up all the chicken stock, put in another glass of wine, and some more butter. When these are reduced, you have a risotto!
I normally add some cheese and mix it up, and serve with a side salad.

Bangers and Mash
Ingredients:
- Sausages (your choice)
- Potatoes (the bigger the better)
- Beans (Because that's how I roll)
That's right - I have my bangers and mash with beans.
Also, have some milk, butter, oil, and fun stuff to add to the mash ready.

Another blog, this time with a self referencing pun.
Hello, and welcome to the other cook club!
This is mostly going to be used by me to post ingredients lists (and possibly recipes) ahead of my monday night cookalong on Twitter. In case anyone wants to find me there, look for @otherjamesgray, and if you want to contribute please use the hashtag #cookalong.
As with this blog's sister, the other book club, feel free to join in! Though followers of that blog will appreciate that doesnt happen too often... If you have a recipe you would like to share let me know, or if you want to lead a monday night cookalong, I'd be more than happy to let you take over for a week!
