8 eggs, 8 oz of flour 1 pnt of milk. preheat oven 220 degrees, batter into hot fat shut oven door. wait 20 mins. flat yourkshire puds.

Far too many eggs, and too much milk as well. Try Mummy T's recipe, which produces Yorkshire puds like clouds.

8 oz plain flour
2 eggs
a pinch of salt
half a pint of milk plus a little bit of water

Basically your mixture should be not too thick, not too thin - add water until it's the consistency of pouring cream. You shouldn't need that much.

It had to be better than my current decrepit cooker

WAAARGGH!

<throws tantrum>

I've got a range cooker. It's good.

This probably won't make me too popular, but what about replacing the decrepit cooker, but not with one that needs chimney breasts removing?

I have to say, though, after reading your post, I went into our kitchen and started working out how many cupboards and things I'd need to move to get a six-burner range in there. It doesn't look too tricky...

LOL, well that is the practical way of dealing with it yes

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Weigh the joint to calculate the cooking time, then season with freshly ground black pepper. Heat a large frying pan to smoking point, add the meat and seal on all sides for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown, then transfer to a roasting tin.
In the same pan, melt the butter then add the onion and rosemary. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onion has softened slightly, then tip into the roasting tin and pour over half the vinegar.(250ml bottle ) Make sure the meat is well coated. Place in the oven and cook for the calculated time, stirring the onions occasionally and basting the pork.
Forty minutes before the pork is ready, add the apple halves to the tin and pour the remaining vinegar over. When the apples are tender and the pork is thoroughly cooked with no pink meat, remove the joint from the roasting tin and allow to stand for 10 minutes before carving. Place the apples in a serving dish, cover with foil and keep warm until ready to serve.
Stir the wine into the juices in the tin and simmer for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat. Serve the pork with the apples and a little juice.

This sounds fantastic, I'm going to pass this recipe around...if I may..

I love cooking, but not the everyday dinner things. It's great to do all the prep and cook something good and fiddly when you have a dinner party or friends over for a casual thing, I like all the anticipation and the fear it's not going to turn out and all that.

Cooking is, without a shadow of a doubt my favourite thing in the whole world and its one thing i am brilliant at.

anything i make is good cos i put a lot of love and meticulous precision into each dish. when my friends come over and sample my fare they usually describe it as 'divine' or 'orgasmic'

I love cooking too, just need to meet someone who likes cleaning.

I love cooking, and i'm great at it - one of the few things I can actually impress with. Mind you I'm not as good when i cook for myself - I tend not to pay as much attention to what I'm doing and leave things for too long. Usually turns out absolutely delicious anyway, but without good presentation. Current speciality is pan-fried duck breast with a hint of orange served with roast veg and asparagus. Alongside a rich red wine it's a deeply erotic meal... Unfortunately the only people I've cooked it for are close relatives and male mates.

I love cooking also. It's like relaxation for me and a bit like playing a game. I love it. Having friends over for dinner has to be one of my favourite things in life.
