What’s the tastiest cooking recipe?

I want to learn the best recipe ever.

My personal favourite:

Chicken & Apple Fajitas

Ingredients

450 g (1lb brambly apples peeled, cored and thickly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsps oil
2 medium onions thickly sliced
2 gloves garlic, finely chopped
1 – 2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp coriander
1tsp cumin
450 g (1 lb) chicken fillets cut into thick strips
Seasoning
1 tbsps fresh coriander, chopped
8 wheat tortillas

Method:

1. cut each apple slice in half and put in a bowl with the lime juice and toss together
2. heat the oil in a large frying pan, add onion and cook over a high heat for 2 mins, add garlic, chillies, spices and chicken then fry stirring for about 5 minutes until chicken is golden. Lift chicken out of the pan and set aside
3. Add apple with lime juice and 5 tbsps of water to the pan and cook with the onions for 3 minutes.
4. Return the chicken to the pan and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes, until apples are tender but still hold their shape
5. Heat the tortillas as directed on the pack. The quickest way is to transfer them to a plate, cover with film and microwave on high for 20 – 30 secs
6. Season filling with salt and pepper, then add fresh coriander.
7. To serve, place 2 heaped tbsps of filling in each tortilla, roll up and enjoy!

Cooking Recipe?

OK. So for at school we have to do a technical writing project. We are supposed to take a recipe with really bad directions and fix it. Do you have any recipes with bad directions? Thanks!

I could write out a recipe for you and give you bad directions, first because I don’t measure. Secondly, because I don’t measure. Gave a recipe today, for what I made This morning. Here is the link of the question, so you can fix it.
If you need help on fixing it . Head to Kraft foods, look up on breakfast, I think it was the 4th recipe down, I just added my own ingredients and used what i had in the fridge.

How are ‘Religion & Spirituality’ and ‘Cooking & Recipe’ connected? Is there even the remotest connection?


There is no connection as such. But the same person can evince interest on both these categories of subjects. There is Zero Cool who has scored thousands of points by answering questions from Yahoo Products, Cooking and recipes as well as those on Atheism, Bible and Religions and specially on Scientology. One Thetaawal and The Outsiders have been countering her on Scientology. It is a different matter that her answers on religion and Spirituality are of mediocre standard and mostly her personal opinions rather than intellectual analysis based on sound reasoning.

As one cooks recipes, Zero Cool is good in cooking stories in spiritualism because she knows the recipe of language and vocabulary.
