Cooking for one
Some of you may notice that I am ‘borrowing’ the title from an uninspiring Delia book from yesteryear but this is really about the struggle I have in recipe finding, shopping and cooking when it’s just for me - I am naturally lazy, but don’t like ready meals and realise that eating out and taking-away is too expensive and unhealthy to be a long term solution. I do like kitchen gadgets though and do actually enjoy cooking and have dozens of recipe books in the house - the trouble is I don’t tend to actually use them…
I particularly don’t enjoy supermarkets and don’t have great access to proper food shops, butchers, fishmongers, greencrocers, etc, etc. I think my main problem is just not having the right food in the house - if it’s there it sometimes gets used - though yet again I’ve thrown away nearly a whole punnet of strawberries, which is odd, I really like strawberries… I need to make sense of it all…
The current plan is to cook proper food every day - using a few staples and trying one new thing a week.
Let’s see how we get on…
