Sunshine and Scenery Cocktail
Course: Cocktail
Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /vhost/therocknrollcookingshow.com/html/classes/recipe.php on line 222
Ingredients:Gin 50mL
Cointreau 25mL
Fresh or canned peach slice (3 pieces) (the Sunshine)
Sugar (1 tspn)
Lime wedge
Lime slice (the Scenery)
Lime rind
Method:
Crush a wedge of lime in a cocktail shaker. Pour the gin, Cointreau, and sugar in with it.
Blend a couple of peach slices with ice, and add to the shaker when it’s done.
Shake well (30 seconds). If this seems too long and you’re likely to get bored on your own, enlist a friend to play maracas with you.
Place a peach slice into a chilled cocktail glass (the sunshine) and garnish with a slice of lime on the side of the glass (the scenery).
Strain cocktail mixture into the glass.
Burn a piece of lime rind and drop into cocktail. Watch your fingers!
Enjoy!
WARNING: All those kids who are making this heavily potent alcoholic mix might want to ask their parents for some help when it comes to burning the lime rind. Stay safe.

The Love Pizza
Course: Main
Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /vhost/therocknrollcookingshow.com/html/classes/recipe.php on line 222
Ingredients:
1 large Pita bread
10 Button ‘shrooms
1 large knob of butter
1 tsp of chopped/crushed garlic
150g fresh mozzarella
1 tbsp Basil pesto
Handful pine nuts
Method:
Take the pita bread and spread it lovingly with the basil pesto. Chop the mushrooms into quarters. Then in a fry pan, melt the butter and when bubbling and add the garlic. Wait till the garlic smells delicious, then add the chopped mushrooms. Continue to fry them, flipping and stirring them to coat them in the buttery-garlicy goodness.
Once the mushrooms have sucked up the butter mix and are becoming soft, take off the heat and pour out onto paper towels to remove the excess juice.
Once the mushrooms have cooled, spread them over the pita. Slice up the mozzarella into thin slices and place them liberally over the pizza. Top with pine nuts and season with salt and pepper.
Wave your hands over the top for a bit of extra magic… and put it under the grill till the cheese is golden brown. Yum Yum!! Slice and enjoy!!

Dubdoubt's Best and Easiest Pizza
Course: Dessert
Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /vhost/therocknrollcookingshow.com/html/classes/recipe.php on line 222
Ingredients:
1 large Pita bread
1 chicken thigh
1 large knob of butter
150g fresh mozzarella
1 tbsp Cranberry jelly
Handful fresh chopped basil
Baby bocconcini cheese
Grana Padano cheese
Camembert cheese
Salt and pepper
Method:
This is really similar to the pizza above, but it replaces the mushrooms with chopped chicken thigh and the basil with cranberry jelly. Mmmmm.
Take the pita bread and spread it liberally with the cranberry jelly.
Chop the chicken into stir-fry sized pieces, removing any sinewy, gristly bits. Fry the chicken with a knob of melted butter and a bit of salt and pepper. When it’s cooked, place the chicken in paper towels to absorb any excess juice.
Spread the chopped basil over the pita bread base, then spread the chicken over the top.
Cut the camembert cheese into slices, and place around the pizza. Drain the baby bocconcini, and place them around the pizza. Grate Grana Padano over the top.
Put it under the grill till the cheese is golden brown. Yum Yum!! Slice and enjoy!!

Meetch's Patented Chocolate Mudcake
Course: Dessert
Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /vhost/therocknrollcookingshow.com/html/classes/recipe.php on line 222
Ingredients:
1/3 cup hot water
½ cup cocoa
150g butter melted
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
4 eggs separated
1 cup ground almonds
2 blocks dark chocolate
Lots of Pears and more brown sugar
½ cup cream, plus cream for serving
Method:
Do the cake thing
Add the hot water to the cocoa and mix until smooth. Melt
1 block of dark chocolate then add it to the cocoa mix, again mixing until smooth.
Melt the butter and add this to the mix, along with the ground almonds and sugar. Don’t tell your dentist. Just keep mixing.
Phone a friend who can hook you up with a Tupperware egg-separator. Phone a friend with a chicken that can supply you with four eggs. Separate the eggs with the Tupperware egg-separator.
Add the yolks to the mix one at a time. Keep on mixing (or make someone else mix for you).
Whisk the egg whites until peaking. i.e until the egg-whites are peaking, not you. Fold in the egg whites in two batches. All the kids are doing it that way now.
Get out a cake tin that was given to you by a famous person. If you don’t have one of those, a standard cake tin will be fine. Line it with baking paper.
Pour in the mix into the tin and put it in a moderate over for 1 ¼ hrs. When it’s cooked, let it cool before attempting to smother it with ganache.
Do the Pear thing
The pears are the money-maker. Get a whole lotta pears, skinned and sliced. As many as you please. You can use tinned pears for this, but be sure to drain off the juice. Place them in a baking tin.
Cover the pears in brown sugar. Mix them around until they’re finely coated. Could add some cinnamon and/or nutmeg i¬¬f you’re being really clever.
Put them in a moderate oven, stirring occasionally until they’re done.
Do the Ganache thing
Put the cream on medium heat until it starts to bubble. Take it off the heat. Add 1 block of dark chocolate (break it up first!), and keep mixing until melted and smooth. Ooooh. Let it cool, then place it in the fridge to cool off even further.
When it’s ready, it should wobble.
And Serve
Place the cake on a plate and smother it generously with ganache. Give very little thought to how it should look. Just smother!
Serve with lots of pears and a drizzle of cream.
Undo the top button of your pants and EAT.
