I happened to have just eaten some bad Indian food and came down with food poisoning. For liability reasons, I'm not going to disclose what Indian restaurant it happened to be in Temple Bar, Dublin. Let's just say that the experience encouraged me enough to take up daily cooking once again. I started out with something easy--chicken noodle soup--to help get me back to health:
The recipe for the dishes will follow as Google Documents. Where I have taken the recipe from a cookbook or other source, I will so indicate. If there is no citation, then the recipe is my own. The recipes are written from a cook's perspective, I don't specify particular technique unless it is important. If you, my reader, ever get to a step you don't understand, feel free to leave a comment; I'll try to respond back!
My new found interest in home cooking continued as i stepped up to something a little heartier: a roast pork chop with apricot-mustard glaze.
