# I'm thinking of learning more cooking
that seems like a nice thing to do

# That is a lovely thing to do.
I recommend salmon and gnocchi in garlic creme fraiche, it tastes much more impressive than it sounds and all you need to do is boil the gnocchi.

# Depends on how much of a poser you want to be about it.
I'd rather eat something that tastes fantastic and took five minutes than a jus of this and a coulis of that, which taste good but not good enough to warrant the hours of preparation.

# Don't get me wrong, cooking is one of the few things I am talented at
English, French, Japanese, lots of different types (my grandma was a chef and she taught me) but I simply don't have the time to cook properly any more.

# Quickest cheesecake in the world
1 tub marscapone
icing sugar
vanilla essence
digestive biscuits
melted butter
round biscuit cutter.

1) smash a couple of digestive biscuits. Melt some butter and mix with biscuits. Put this mixture in the bottom of the biscuit cutter. Place in fridge
2) add vanilla essence and icing sugar to marscapone and keep tasting until it reaches desired yumminess. Spoon mixture on top of biscuit mix and leave in the fridge until required.
3) Put on serving plate and wipe round the side of the biscuit cutter with a warm cloth (or attack it with a blowtorch) just enough to allow the cheesecake to slip out of the cutter.

Can server with a strawberry on top if you so wish. But this takes minutes and tastes great!

# Ahhhhh, you make it in the same way as I do!
Except I chuck hazelnuts in with the biscuits, but that's just because I love them.

You can put strawberries on the top, but I think the best one I did was when I put flumps and dolly mixtures in the mascarpone mix. Sugary as hell but ace.

# Mmmm
*makes a note to buy flumps and dolly mixture next shopping trip*

That's my "bastard guests turning up at last minute! Quick! Make them tasty treats!" recipe.

I do have one which uses a mixture of cream cheese and greek yoghurt (cheesecakey goodness with half the heaviness and fewer calories) which impressed the in-laws so much, they thought it was shop bought *smug mode*

# I have never put coffee in it.
Unknown reason, but next time I shall do. Whilst drinking red wine and being shirtless.

Fuck it, I can be Manley AND you. Drinking red wine, shirtless, and telling manwife how thoroughly excellent I am.

# Easy, swap the salmon for chicken or something.
It just won't be as tasty due to chicken being a boring bitch of a bird.

Erm.... Ooooh, you could do it with rough torn prosciutto.
