Risquit's Potato Soup
6 medium Yukon Gold potaotes (peeled and chopped)
1 large can of low-sodium chicken broth (or 6 cups of homemade stock if you're ambitious)
2 large onions (thinly sliced)
6 tbsp unsalted butter
8 ounces of bacon cooked and crumbled
1 cup cooked peas (frozen peas ok)
sour cream (optional)
green onions (optional)
hot sauce (Tabasco, Crystal, Frank's Red Hot)
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large pot. Heat onions for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chicken stock and potatoes and simmer for 25 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
Transfer mixture (in batches) to blender. Blend until smooth. Return mixture to pan.
Add bacon pieces and peas. Warm through. Salt and pepper to taste.

Bacon Buttie
Bacon. Fry it. Stick it in a roll. Possibly add Ketchup or Brown sauce, depending on taste.

this is actually a recipe that a friend of mine from high school came up with. marinate a steak in coca-cola (I believe pepsi is also acceptable) for a few hours, cook as usual. sugar caramelizes on the outside of the steak, and the carbonic acid in the soda acts as a tenderizer, damn good eatin'.
my own: chocolate waffles. take a basic waffle recipe, melt two cubes baking chocolate (I use unsweetened and then sweeten to my liking but I suppose milk or bittersweet will do) mix in with the batter, cook as usual, voila. goes well with nutella, or ice cream.

Beef Goulash
3 tablespoons cooking oil (I prefer olive oil)
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or flour)
2 pounds of stew beef
water
salt
pepper
onions (at least 1 )
mushrooms (if you like them)
egg noodles
Brown meat until it sticks to the pan with the oil, salt, pepper, and onions. Add water until it covers the meat. Simmer covered 1 hour on medium/low or until meat is tender. Keep an eye on the water and add to the pan if neccessary while it simmers. Mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water and blend until smooth. Add to beef and stir. Add mushrooms and simmer about 5 minutes. Serve over cooked noodles.
Note: This can also be combined and cooked in a crockpot but it will have to cook for 6 hours. The meat will also have to be lightly browned on all sides before placing in crockpot.

Hey, if this is a gamers' cookbook shouldn't the stipulation be for foods that can be consumed one handed while playing TTLG games? As brilliant as they all are, I mean, it's bad enough that you have to go into the kitchen and cook most of these but then it sounds like you would have to sit at the table and eat them too!
Salmon Galaxies
Equal weights of BBQ salmon tips and cream-cheese.
1 tbsp of sour-cream (for spreadability)
sushi nori
hotsause
a variety of tortilla wraps
-mix the sour-cream, cream-cheese and salmon until they are an even consistency.
-spread the mixture evenly over a tortilla wrap
-lay a 1/2 inch strip of nori across the center of the wrap
-run a bead of hotsauce along the nori strip
-roll it all up into a tube
-slice it into bite sized pieces
-get back to the game!
If you are wealthy, substitute lox for the BBQ. Some BBQ salmon works better than others (Superstore) and some just doesn't work at all.
Doc.

I. Love. To. Cook.
The other night I made these lemon squares. Kneaded the dough, baked it, mixed the top layer, spread it on top, baked it, then took it out at the exact time and let it cool.
Of course, I then noticed that I'd forgotten to grease the bottom of the pan.

Originally posted by Der Dok If you are wealthy, substitute lox for the BBQ. Some BBQ salmon works better than others (Superstore) and some just doesn't work at all.Doc. A fillet of salmon. About 1 inch thick (skin on is best) and about 4 x 6.
1/4 cup kosher or sea salt.
2 tsp sugar
mix well.
Lay the salmon on a square of Saran Wrap (or a large baggie) skinside down.
Sprinkle the salt mixture on the salmon so that the surface has a medium coating of the mix.
Wrap it tightly and place in refrigerator for 2 days.
Open the package and scatter some chopped dill and scallions (green onions to you non cooks) on the top, wrap again and place back in refrigerator Skinside UP. Put a brick or some other weight on top.
Leave for two days.
Unwrap, slice thin and enjoy.
You can add a little liquid smoke at the first stage by sprinkling about 1/4 tsp on the top and spreading it with your fingers over the surface.
You can also freeze the portion you don't eat immediately, although it should keep up to one week plus if you don't.
It's basically Kippers for you brits.
