Anyone know some quick and easy recipes for when I go on my summer holidays?

Question

I'm off to Spain at the end of September. I'm going with my other half and 2 other friends. We're in the Costa del Sol so there are big supermarkets around.The villa we are staying at has a bbq, oven and hobs. My friend is a domestic goddess and cooks AMAZING meals. However I don't want the responsibility to fall just on her (after all it's her holiday too!) therefore was wondering if anyone can let me know of some quick and easy but delicious recipes I could prepare and cook one night to wow my Friends?

Thank you!

p.s. and yes before anyone asks - the men will be doing their fair share too!!!

Answer 1

Why don't you offer to buy the food and help your friend in the kitchen.  That way if all won't fall to her, but you can learn from her as well.  Just tell her that you love her cooking and want to learn from the "domestic goddess" that she is.  She'll be flattered, and honored that think so highly of her cooking.

Also, if most of the cooking does fall to her, then it's only fair and polite for her not to have to buy the food.

Have a great vacation!

EDIT -

A really simple/fun thing to do, go to the store, buy some good fresh bread dough, and make pizza's on the BBQ - have everyone make their own, and then grill them off.  Some fresh herbs, good cheese, nice fresh tomatoes, a choice of meats... you're good to go, it's fun, easy for you, and everyone gets what they want, with minimal planning.
