Would you like to help us test recipes for the Mumsnet Cookbook?

[CatherineHMumsnet]

Shhh .. don't tell everyone but we're working on a top secret new project in the form of The Mumsnet Cookbook and we need your help.

We'd like to get together a Mumsnet Cookbook cookery group to stop us from piling on the pounds help us test these shortlisted recipes.

Each volunteer will be allocated a recipe which they'll then cook for their family and give us some feedback on how easy, hard, good, bad, expensive etc they are and whether they'd make it again. All the recipes chosen were submitted over the years by Mumsnetters, so there shouldn't be any outlandish or particularly difficult to source ingredients - and they should all be pretty easy to make (we hope!).

As a thank-you, we'll be putting everyone who helps out into a prize draw to win a Bloomsbury cookbook.

And if that's not enough of an incentive, everyone who helps will have their *Mumsnetter nickname featured in the cookbook's acknowledgements.

Nope, none here.

We eat anything and everything!

Nope but dislike tripe and marmite.

no allergies

Vegetarian (or fish, but not shellfish). Or dessert

No allergies of any kind, though (but please don't make me do a nut roast!)

No cheese here please. Chocolate recipes always welcome

Veggie, pescetarian here:)
intolerances are additive related which shouldn't apply with cooking from scratch, so anything meat free is fine by me

I'd love to do another one but have pesky nut and fish allergies. Fine with cake though!

I missed it

I'd do another one, would love baking but can do anything

No allergies here

Poorly 1 and 3 year old for the last week has meant I have failed to testy recipe...! It's salmon something can post it up tomorrow if someone would do it, it looks a yummy one!

No special requirements here, Catherine.

I can test another recipe, would prefer a dessert or something a child can help make. We don't eat mushrooms, aubergines, offal, or anything too spicy, but we are just feeble, not allergic to anything :)

How are you??? Haven't seen you since the baby came....is all good with you??

As you were :)

Well have bought my lamb shanks. Ouch.
I remember the days when it was a reasonable cut of meat.
But just as well I am not counting pennies, because it would cost me 20 quid just for the meat for a family of 4, (giving one shank each) compared to a 2k free range chicken for instance for about £8.00, and I'd get sandwiches or another dinner out of it. Anyway I LOVE lamb shanks, so I'll see how this recipe goes.

No allergies but not really a fan of red meat.

Waves at Fillybuster!

Hi CatherineMumsnet we will try out another one too if you still have recipes begging to be cooked!

Can't do anyth

Try again!! Can't do anything with tomatoes (allergy) and don't cook veggie meals often ever

Boo hoo, just broke a bit of my molar (more filling than tooth) on the pan roasted potato tart with red onion and goats cheese..... Think it was more to do with eating is hot from the pan than it being too crunchy!

Would love to do another recipe. Can do anything!
