Boys Cooking

Child fussy about his food after cookery programmes.

Hamish Harris. The boy bon vivant.

'As a surprise I thought I'd give the new cookbook a try tonight.'

'Another neat trick is to cut regular spaghetti into little pieces, and next thing you know you've got yourself a bowl of spaghetti-i-s.'

"Still haven't quite figured out the pressure cooker, huh dad?"

"....And then chuck the whole lot in the dustbin and phone for a take-away."

"Oh joy. Looks like the turkey is almost done..."

"Keep in mind, this dish is best served in a restaurant cooked by anyone other than you."

"Dad fixed you a balanced breakfast - the runny eggs are balanced with burnt toast!"

"I want you to be well in life, son...."

'This soufle is hard.' - 'No it isn't, your teeth are soft.'

'LOOK RENOLDSON, i've had JUST about enough of your moaning and groaning! IF you can't stand the heat, GET out of the oven!' / A chef scolding his apprentice inside an oven.

'There's nothing good to eat!'

"This can't be soup....where are all the little letters that usually float in it?"

"I'm making Thanksgiving dinner this year. Do you have Turkey Helper?"

'I could beat these eggs a lot easier if it weren't for all the shells.'

'Just call me Delia...'

'We were playing Doctor and I was sterilizing the gloves.'

Beth realized she wasn't such a great cook the night she tried to make an apple pie. 'Wow! Now that is good meatloaf!'

'I'm fixing breakfast - how do you like your eggs, black or dark brown?'

'Son, do you think I'm ready for my own cooking show?'

"Remember, never put all your eggs into one omelet."

"There's something wrong with your dinner."

"No, dear. This meal isn't undercooked, you just haven't burnt it, for a change."

"You don't have any cooking experience? We should be able to get you a job at a hospital cafeteria."

"We try to give him a realistic outlook on life."

'Hi, I saw your ad and I'm interested in the entree-level position!'
