Greetings fellow foodies!

Welcome to the food group. The place for all food related chat on sheffield forum. Whether you need a quick recipe, some advice or share your wisdom or tips about something this is the place to do it.

I'm also going to try to organise interviews with local chefs who we feel are doing good things and post the interview for you to see whos keeping the restaurant scene busy and using local produce. I'll also try to prise a recipe or two out of them!

We're also going to try to encourage local food producers to tell you exactly how to get hold of them and encourage you to buy their product.

Overall, use the group well and productively and don't forget all the usual forum rules still apply so lets try to be nice and constructive to each other and then we can all reap the benefits

Thanks

Great to see the food group up and running at long last :thumbsup:

Is it just food or does it extend to restaurants and drink recomendations too?

I was thinking how about some "sticky" threads for different categories of recipe, e.g one for meat dishes, one for desserts, one for veggie dishes etc?

I was thinking how about some "sticky" threads for different categories of recipe, e.g one for meat dishes, one for desserts, one for veggie dishes etc?Had thought of it but where does it end? Too many sticky threads means that new threads might not get looked at. However if the demand for it is there and it makes sense to merge very similar threads then we'll do that.

Fantastic:D just posted my mainly choccie recipes, hope
you enjoy!

All are welcome here! Do you have a good recipe for cookies?

Yay! At long last! I shall look forward to using this group!

WOOHOO :banana: at last!

I've been waiting for this section all my life :hihi:

Yay, only just come across this forum -fab.

As for the cookies, here is a very simple all in method recipe for chocolate chip cookies - we do this in Y8 food so it is quite easy.

75g Soft margarine or butter
75g soft brown sugar
1 egg (medium)
half teaspoon vanilla essence
150g SR flour
50g Choc chips (or nuts, cherried what ever else you want to put in)

You basically put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until mixed.

It should be a fairly stiff but often slightly sticky dough - not runny

Divide into about 20 equal pieces of mini cookies or 12 for large ones. roll into rough balls, place on a greased baking try and flatten.

Bake 180 C gas 5 for about 15 - 20 mins.

Wow were really here are we after all ????????????:banana::banana:

Hello

I am a local food manufacture. I produce pickles and I am wanting to supply shops, restaurants and catering outlets.

My company is called Polydora's Pickles.

My pickles do not have any added salt, sugar or preservatives and you can see what the pickle is made of. Not the one colour fits all pickle of brown.

Do you know anybody that would be interested in purchasing my pickles?

Good to see this section - I've been thinking of starting a "wine bargain" megathread for a while - this looks like the place for it.

OMG. I could not believe that this is up and running at long last!
Now we don't need to feel ostricised for posting recipes and discussing bits and bobs about meals. Kittena, where art thou? :hihi:
