hummus and pita bread lately.
You GOTTA try making it from scratch sometime, the hoummous, that is...it's really on another level...if you want a recipe, hit me up.

Yeah, as Spal said, all that stuff...FRESH herbs and spices are a BIG thing when you do this cooking thing...so yeah, some frozen stuff, alotta asian brand noodles, stir-thru's, soup bases...etc, fresh veg, asian veg, rice, uh....on the more boring side, yeah, there's stuff like bread, cheese, pizza bases, eggs, the occasional pack of mince-meat pies, a lot of the time we'll have pastry, junk-food (too fucking much), Not a great deal of meat, but yeah, chicken & lamb usually, sometimes kangaroo (which is all kinds of awesome), we bbq when we can, and we're trying to get more fish happening too.
Coconut milk = ALWAYS, crazy-versatile in cooking.

I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty too, but thats a start.

i generally like to buy everything all at once, except htat veggies need to be bought every week, which is annoying. so i usually get bell peppers, mushrooms of sorts, lettuce of some kind, avocado. potatoes, onions, garlic.. yuo can get an they last a wihle at least.

i buy bread of some sort, usually whole wheat type stuff. im really good at reading nutrition index as wel as ingredients list. i get tomato sauces and pastes to make pasta shit, i use non fat milk and i make my bechamel with them (white sauce, for alfredo... or mac n cheese even!)

i always have veggies with my pasta, whether artichokes, peas, mushrooms.... whatever.

then i get ben and jerries.. cherry garcia and lately dublin mudslide. the nice thing abou CG is its lowfat frozen yogurt, the whole thing only has 12 grams of fat! w00000000t

whenever I go to buy groceries I usually end up buying DVD's and video games. And then Junk food to go along with that. So my gf has to do the grocery shopping.

I know you're in the culinary gig, and that's uber-cool. I work in food management for a healthcare contract company, and my girlfriend does the same, and is a J&W graduate.

However, if you have a good recipe you'd like to share, I'd be happy to receive!

Well, I didn't really have my own personal recipe, just saying that home-made, it's best...but yeah, here's one from cooks.com, a generally pretty handy site that I frequent:

HUMMOUS (CHICK PEA DIP)

2 1/4 c. whole chick peas
1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 1/2-2 lemons
4 tbsp. olive oil
A pinch of paprika
Finely chopped parsley

Soak the chick peas in plenty of cold water overnight. Drain, add the bicarbonate of soda and cover with water. In a pressure-cooker, steam for about 20 minutes, or simmer for 1 1/2 hours in a pan. Drain the chick peas, reserving the liquid, then set aside a few peas for garnish.
Using a little of the cooking liquid, reduce the rest of the chick peas to a puree in a blender or processor. Add the garlic, salt and tahini, and blend together thoroughly. Lastly pour in the lemon juice, by which time the hummus should have a rich, creamy consistency.

Pour into a shallow, concave dish (about the size of a salad plate), pour the oil in the center, and garnish with the whole chick peas. Sprinkle the paprika and a little chopped parsley as a decoration around the edges.

Serves about 6.




On site, I'd back that one...all the right stuff there, just be careful with the salt, because when it's too salty, it's fucked.

Haha, chances are, my PERSONAL version would have all kindsa other things in it, including that...but this is just a cut n paste job - it's the basic.
However, I always say, add what u like yknow...

Another thing we ALWAYS buy, red birdseye chillies.
Use them SO damn much. 90% of the food I prepare is spicy.

Oh, and I ALWAYS gotta have fresh cracked pepper...I get pissed off without it.
