[001]
Boiled Potatoes with tomato and spring onions
baby potatoes or organic potatoes (NOT baking potatoes)
organic tomatoes (at least go for vine tomatoes)
spring onions (optional)
salt, pepper, oregano, olive oil
salty cheese (I prefer feta of course)
Step 1: Cook the potatoes
If using baby potatoes, you dont have to peel them. Using a small knife
simply cut off the parts where the potatoes look rotten or hit. If using
usual potatoes, better peel them because their skin is usually thicker.
Add into the pressure cooker water, salt and few of pepper and wait until
it boils.
Add the potatoes and close the lid. The water should cover the potatoes.
Use the pressure cookers manual to estimate the cooking time. It should
be around 10 minutes.
Step 2: Slice the tomatoes, spring onions and enjoy!
When the potatoes are cooked, drain them.
Add as many of potatoes, tomatoes and spring onions you wish.
Season with salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
Add olive oil. You can be generous, since potatoes tend to absorb it.

[002]
Apple Treat
Cooking apple
Brown sugar
Cinamon
Method
Choose the biggest and most ripe apple
core it and stuff brown sugar, where the left over core was,
add a little bit of cinnamon and put into the microwave.
Watch and keep checking on the apple
bring out too your own accord!
May i just say, leave it too cool for a minute or two
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[003]
Quick midnight snack

Slice of bread
Tomato puree
Burger cheese (the kind that comes in plastic wrapping)
Ham (optional)
Method
Turn on your grill.
Semi-toast the bread. I usually just bang it in the toaster for a minute
or so but you could also put it in the grill to brown one side.
Take the bread out of the toaster/grill.
Spread the tomato puree over the browner side.
If you're using ham, now's the time to bang it on! If you're feeling
generous go crazy and spread more tomato puree over the top
place 2 burger cheeses over the slice (if you're tight, just use one)
throw your slathered slice in the grill until the cheese melts some
(shouldn't take more than a minute or so)
whip it out and chow down :d
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[004]
Really Yummy Pasta
Pasta (any of your choice)
Butter
Salt and pepper
Balsamic vinegar (sounds weird, but its really good) [if you really don't
like the sound of it, you don't have to use it :)]
You can add grated cheese if you want, although i haven't tried this
recipe with cheese, so i don't know how it would work out
Method
Cook the pasta as you normally would
drain and put into the bowl your eating it out of
get a decent knob of butter and mix it into the pasta
add a generous amount of salt and pepper (to taste)
drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the pasta and mix it in :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[005]
Pizza stuff!

For this snack you will need:

A loaf of French bread
Pizza or pasta sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings
Oregano
A baking sheet
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Slice the bread into pieces approximately 1/2 an inch thick. One
baking sheet should fit about 16 pieces. As you can see, I actually used
a whole wheat bread instead of French breadyou can use any kind as long
as it comes in a long loaf.
3. Grate the mozzarella. Or buy shredded mozzarella and save yourself a
step. You could also use any other cheese of your choice.
4. Evenly space the bread slices on the baking sheet and spread them with
sauce. I used leftover vodka pasta sauce for half and pesto for the other
half.
5. Add your favorite pizza toppings. I used pepperoni for the red sauce
and artichoke quarters for the pesto. I also left some with just cheese
and sauce.
6. Sprinkle cheese over each bread piece. Youll notice I actually put my
cheese on first, but I think itd be better to cover the toppings,
especially if youre using pepperoni.
7. Sprinkle oregano over all the pieces.
8. Bake for 10 minutes.

[BONUS]
Coffee Cake
3 eggs
170g (6oz) self-raising flower
170g (6oz) butter or margerine

170g (6oz) caster sugar

1 teaspoon of baking powder
Strong black coffee
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees celsius (340 degrees fahrenheit) and
either grease your cake tin or line it with greaseproof paper. I prefer
to grease it with butter as it means you have less waste at the end. If
your tin is old and well used, though, paper may be the best way to go as
it'll have less chance of sticking.
Make a very small, very strong black coffee using two desert spoons of
instant coffee granules and the smallest amount of hot water that you can
to get it all to dissolve. Certainly don't use more than half an espresso
cup of water. The more water you use, the sloppier your cake will be, and
it might not bake properly.
If mixing by hand, sift the flour, sugar and baking powder into a large
bowl to make sure there are no lumps, then melt the butter and stir that,
the eggs and the coffee into the dry ingredients. Mix well until it is a
smooth paste and you can see no dry flour or sugar in the mixture. Beat
hard, using a circular motion with the spoon that lifts the mixture up
from the bottom of the bowl to introduce as much air into it as you can.
If using a mixer, instead sift the flour, sugar and baking powder into
the mixing bowl, add the coffee, eggs and melted butter and them mix at
high speed for a couple of minutes until you get a smooth, light mixture.
Spoon your mixture into your baking tin or individual cup cake cases and
put into the oven. If baking a single cake, cook for around 30 minutes,
then test by taking it out of the oven and gently pressing the top (use
gloves as it will be hot). If it springs back and is an even brown
colour, it is finished. If not, bake a little longer and try again. You
shouldn't need to cook for more than 35 minutes.
If baking cup cakes, cook for 15 minutes before testing in the same way,
and then 5 minutes more if they are not cooked.
If icing your cake, allow it to cool and then combine as much icing sugar
as you can with a third of a tea cup of very strong black coffee (again,
two desert spoons of instant granules will be about right). Mix
thoroughly to get rid of any lumps. Keep adding more icing sugar until
you have a thick paste and then spread this across the top of the cold
cake. Allow to harden and then serve.
