Opening a blog is way easier then opening a deli! "Fish for a man, you feed him for a meal, teach him how to fish and you feed him for life". So, I plan to give you the culinary skills I am blessed to have and you will have to cook for yourself! Many recipes are made up over the years, I also have recipes that friends have passed on and will share them with you because I have tried them and they work!
If you have a recipe that you have tried and tested and works well, please be considerate and share it with the rest of us!
If u have any comments, suggestions, complaints or any feed back (positive and negative) please email me fifthpost@gmail.com

Mushroom Couscous
Peel some fresh mushrooms and slice (or dice if you prefer).
Chop some fresh garlic.
Put the mushrooms and garlic in an oven proof dish.
Drizzle a bit of oil over the mushrooms and garlic and add a sprinkle of salt.
Mix well and bake uncovered on 200 for 10-15 minutes.
The mushrooms will produce their own juice during cooking.
Put some couscous (the very small one) in a bowl (1 cup is plenty for 2 people) and pour boiling hot water over it - one and a half times the amount of couscous (eg 1 cup couscous = 1 1/2 cups water). Sprinkle a bit of salt in the couscous and mix well (remember mushrooms also have some salt in them so not too much).
Cover and leave to sit for 10 minutes. Once the time is up, uncover and fluff couscous with a fork.
Pour mushroom mixture on top of cooked couscous and mix well.
Note: Can be served hot as a side dish or room temp as a salad.
Et Voila!
