I want to make Nandos style chicken. Can you help?

A question about : I want to make Nandos style chicken. Can you help?

I love Nandos chicken. Unfortunately it's a very rare that I get to eat it as we don't have one in my town : (.

Has anyone tried or know how to make chicken as close to Nandos as possible. Hmmm it would be delicious with chips and a salad. Our Tesco has a few Nandos sauces which one is best to use and how do I do it?

Thanks

Bread

A question about : Bread

Sorry folks, I know this has probably been done to death, but thought I'd ask anyway.

I've been thinking of making my own bread, but I don't know whether it's worth getting a breadmaker, or just doing it by hand. Aside from a one off in primary school I've never made my own, so I really have no clue what I'm doing! title=Smile

found some possibly valuable collectables during my KonMari forays. Where to sell?

A question about : found some possibly valuable collectables during my KonMari forays. Where to sell?

Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, I have come across a few potentially valuable collectable items during my first decluttering expeditions!
I hope I'm not posting in the wrong place, but you are all so knowledgeable.
I have uncovered a limited edition Steiff bear, it's a Harrods Christmas bear, name is Frederick :-) it's in box and has all the bumph with it.
Also have several Lara Craft figures/tableaus, still in original box unopened.

Slow Cooker

A question about : Slow Cooker

Just bought a slow cooker, but the recipe booklet that accompanies it is rather complicated ('brown meat and veg before putting in the cooker') and I wanted to bung it all in a leave to cook. So does anyone know any easy (really easy) recipes or a book that gives easy recipes?

Thank you.

A question about : Expensive ginger cake

I have just hurriedly bought an expensive ginger cake as a friend rang to say that she's going to pop in for a cuppa. It's nice BUT too expensive. I have now found this recipe and will try to copy the bought one.

200g/7oz sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
55g/2oz margarine, plus extra for greasing
1 free-range egg, beaten
2 tbsp golden syrup
240ml/9fl oz hot water

Cook in a round tin.
