Don't you just love it when you bung radom ingredients in a pot...

[JoshandJamie]

and it works! Tonight I did just that :

chicken pieces browned, chopped leeks, mushrooms, carrots and celery softened, flour added as a thickener, a splash of vermouth, big sprinkle of dried herbs de provence, big jug of chicken stock, mixture of brown rice and wild rice and into the oven for an hour.

And if I don't mind saying so, it is particularly scrumptious.

John and Gregg would hate you!! Don't you watch Masterchef

Just noticed that I left the N out of random in my haste to brag about my meal.

I don't watch masterchef - my DH has banned all cooking shows after I became slightly obsessed with them. Who are John and Gregg?

J&J, Greg and John are the judges on Masterchef and their pet hate is people who 'throw everything into a pot' and hope for the best

Am sure yours was lovely though!!

John and Gregg are obviously not mums with two little boys destroying their house at the same time that they're trying to cook.

Sounds good.
It takes an innate understanding of what works well together though and some people have got it and some never will.
