It is okay, Ange. Those childhood traumas are hard to overcome, at least you have your husband to eat it when visiting your mum.

One thing you didn't mention was the side effect, is your hubby super hairy in his chest lol

Like a flipping gorilla! lol lol lol lol More hair on chest than head!

If you do like hearty stews you will love it, follow that recipe initially, you can substitute beef for lamb or have a combo. Once you've made it a couple of times you will get a feel for it, seriously there is nothing like a good pan of Scouse.

What about the hairy chest though

If you are interested here is the home made version of the closest thing I've ever found to Chinese chippy chicken curry. Dead easy but you do need a blender. You will not be disappointed

Have you never heard that Scouse looks like pavement pizza? That's when you know it's a good one, have you made Scouse before?

Yes. I've made it for 4 people, for 200 people and for 1000 people.
I was born and brought up in Liverpool and I've spent 42 of those years as a chef.
I've made it for people from all over the world and as a representation of the actual dish itself on the city's behalf.

The number one tip I would give to the home cooks is to watch some YouTube videos on proper cutting techniques and do some practice.

Proper cutting techniques and decent sharp knives will save a lot of the time off of recipes because you will get your prep done faster. There are lots of efficient ways to clean particular vegetables and fruits that you wouldn't see unless you've worked in kitchens.

Learn how to protect your fingers and keep your thumb away from the blade.

Amazes me how much people will spend on useless kitchen gadgets but won’t fork out the cash for a decent chefs knife!
Easily the most important too in the kitchen.

I splashed out £80 on a Japanese santoku knife a couple of years back (reasonably cheap believe it or not) and a whetstone. Easily my best kitchen purchase!

Yea def, I spend about 70 on mine. Makes such a difference and you use it like 5 times a day and it pretty much lasts forever with a good knife sharpener.

Chorizo hash for breakfast anyone?

Fry some sliced, decent quality chorizo in a pan to allow the lovely paprika tinged oil to release before adding diced, cubed potato and sliced red onion. Fry until golden.
Add a dash of salt and pepper, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a poached egg on top.
Serve with crusty bread

Chinese chippys use maysan curry powder.

You can buy it in most shops

And add a drop of fino Sherry!!!
