Warren, in that top picture, are you cooking that on the hob or is it just rested on there for the purpose of taking the photo?

Just need to point out that "Casserole" means "To Bake", so a Casserole is a dish made in the oven. If it's made on the hob, then it's a stew.

I'm ok in the kitchen I suppose. Made a long list of things. Got a few pics on my phone, but no way of uploading them at the moment!

Be inventive, that's the key.
