The Notorious P.I.G

I'm thinking of getting married. There's only one problem. My prospective father in law is a total jackass. And he hates my cooking.

Fortunately he'll never read this column. He lives 3 1/2 time zonesaway and his English sucks.

His son on the other hand is unspeakably wonderful, handsome and kind.

He's worth every grimace, scowl and medieval Persian curse that his curmudgeon of a father can throw my way.

So alas I'll bite my tongue as he bitches about my Goan prawn curry or my Spanish meatballs in Saffron Almond Sauce. And I'll smile cheerfully as he reclines like a Sultan demanding tea, dates and rock sugar.

Here are three recipes that my prospective father in law hated. You may wish to cook one of them out of solidarity. I may need the support should I walk down the aisle.
