Advantages: Full of ideas and advice for real people Disadvantages: None I can think of
My husband and I are trying to make our diet healthier by cooking more food from scratch rather than relying on the convenience foods that we were each brought up on. This is difficult when you're busy, skint and don't really know where to start, having never been taught to cook properly. That's where Easy Cook comes in.
We came across issue two of BBC Easy Cook Magazine by pure chance when browsing the magazine section of the supermarket. We thought it looked different to other cookery magazines so we bought it to see what it was like. The title is probably what attracted us the most, and the fact that it is a BBC magazine and they have a reputation for high quality publications.

Hello there
Having a look around the Ciao website I was pleased to find a category section for main recipes whereby you can share with others on how to make different type of foods from all over the globe.

This is a simple and healthy way to make this dish, at a cost effective price. It has been widely thought of that most Indian food is unhealthily and fattening. However this is not always the case for you can make it healthy and better for you.

Advantages: quick and easy to make, versatile, ingredients not too expensive Disadvantages: i am a terrible cook

The recipe below is for two people.
