We just got wind of this new campaign called 5by25: http://www.5by25.com/
The premise is to encourage people by the age of 25 to have mastered at least 5 dishes that they can cook from scratch. The website has a bunch of recipes as well as info on key skills like food storage, making gravy and chopping.
I have to admit that I'm not much of a cook although when I have the time I love the challenge of following a new recipe and trying to make something tasty
I reckon by 25 the dishes I had down were spag bol, chilli con carne, pasta bake, fishfinger sarnies and variations on a stir fry of some kind..
What about you?

I know a few things by heart (as well as the basic omelettes, scrambled eggs, tomato sauce pancakes, etc.):
Bean chilli
Spag bol / lasagne (veggie or meat)
Chicken and bacon stew
Mushroom stroganoff
Aubergine parmiggiano
Pizza
Sponge cake
Peppermint creams
Risotto, Bolognese, Carbonara, Roast dinner (duck, beef, pork, lamb, chicken w/ trimmings), Shepherds Pie, Toad in the Hole, Fajitas, Mashed Potatoes (which are a delicacy in my house), Lasagne, Pancakes.
Some other stuff as well, but that wouldn't be properly properly from scratch, like pizza, or curry.
I do have to confess though, that two of my favourite quick meals at the moment are minute steak, toasted ciabatta & salad and smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast. Both being really quick, really easy, feel really decadent and are actually no where near as expensive as they sound, both coming out comfortably under £2 a meal.
