Here is a recipe that takes 10 minutes to cook, can be eaten hot or cold and is full of flavour. If cutting the chicken is a problem try using scissors they really are the best way. I cook it in a wok but any pot should do.

Jeera Chicken
1/2 tablespoon of cumin seed ... stir fry until seeds pop, add
1/2 ~ ~ ground cumin ... lower heat and cook for 2 mins. Add
1/2 lb (250g) cubed chicken ... Raise heat and stir fry for 2 mins. Add
1/4 pint stock... Bring back to boil and simmer 5 mins. or until chicken is done
Raise heat to reduce gravy until it will coat the meat.

You can eat this with rice and a veg. but it is also really good in a wrap, baguette or similar with some salad, mayo if you like, the chicken and some mango chutney or lime pickle.

one of my main dishes (i only have about 3) is a version of cullen skink. first catch your skink
(joke!)
fry some leeks in butter (yes butter, not virgin oil or avocado marge)
chop up potatoes (best to peel them, its a pain but..)
chuck them in
just cover with water
add a fish stuck cube
boil lightly until potatoes cooked
whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (you haven't got a blender? well your having the chunky version)
add some creamy milk (we've been through this already..)
chop up a smoked fish of your choice (well you should have looked ahead. its not my fault. yes corned beef will do if thats all you've got. )
add and simmer till fish is cooked
yummmeee.


this is very good brain-food - fish and fat. i have a theory (which many others share), that fat is needed instead of glucose for fueling the brains of people with AD and PD (see coconut oil thread). full fat dairy products especially.

Thanks for those. I love an easy recipe. Especially pleased with the one for cullen skink I always wondered how it was made.
My husbands very special gravy recipe:

Buy a tin of Baxters french onion soup. Wonderful with mash.

Now that is real easy gravy Parkwife thank you for sharing it.

Also good with pancakes

Hi Turnip,

Apparently, fat is good for pd patients but good fats such as olive oil or coconut oil which does not affect cholesterol levels: has anyone have easy and tasty recipes using coconut oil, which are tried and tested, please? Would be very grateful!

..but if your cholesterol is ok butter or cheddar is a lot cheaper than coconut oil. And macaroni in coconut sauce is just not the same.
My missus uses a lot of coconut which presumable includes the oil in it - laksa (yumee),pumkin and coconut soup. many indonesian and malaysian recipes use a lot.
pacific islanders seep raw fish in coconut milk instead of cooking it. lamingtons! coconut cake. cocnut muffins. pina coladas!!!!

wagon wheels 6 pack - jammy
Pair of scissors
Creme egg
Bottle of chocolate milk shake

Open wagon wheels (ww) with scissors
Pile on plate (posh chefs like to stack, but if you are a bit shaky just sprinkle liberly on the plate)
Garnish with the creme egg

Pour milk shake

Job's a good un. Enjoy.

To make this super pd friendly try ruining it by adding bran, fresh fruit and fish oil.

is that a free-range creme egg?

Oh .the milk shake should be served in a separate glass, or swigged from the bottles.

If you have already poured tt all over wagon wheels, learn to read ahead, drain off into a glass, scooping out any floaters, and muddle on as best you can.

Or

Use a spoon and call it a soup

Why not try adding extra goodness by adding a fruit & nut
