Lulu, if you want any curry cooked from scratch then Kelly is the mumsnetter to look out for.

I just use a jar of Patak's (which is excellent btw) but may not be suitable for those with nut allergies.

hope it goes well UCM...

thanks lully.. i donl;t have that book. but some of those ideas are delicious !

thanks mercy x

so lulumama what's for dinner tonight?

last night was turkey breast roast, broccoli and roasted new potatos, tonight is chicken and spinach wraps !

Sounds yum.

Having paella tonight, prawns, a bit of leftover chicken, stock, peas, spring onion and peppers (think a recipe from the dinner ladies book!) Last night we had ham in cola! Now need inspiration for cheaper meals...

yum. We're having tuna steaks with roasted veg and cous cous. Lurve thinking about my dinner all day. Almost feel sorry for dh that he never knows what he's going to eat until it appears on the table

have bought some interesting mixed wild rice too and have asked for a slow cooker for our wedding anniversary so want to start getting to grips with good recipes for that !
