A New Interest

[poliphilo]

I've been the family cook for years now.  I was competent- and took a certain pride in my competence- but I didn't find it fun. I wouldn't experiment.

Now I'm reading recipe books.

Monday  morning I was at a loose end, so I made a fritata. I had a slice for lunch- and we ate the rest cold when we came back from St. Helens. Yesterday  I cooked a huge dish of moussakha.

Cooking is no good unless it is fun! If you enjoy the process then the food tastes better. Lots of sites online, but I find a good heavy cookbook reassuring - shame it is too hot to eat much!

I used to swear by Mrs Beeton. I had a copy of the 1960 edition. It was my culinary Bible.

At the moment I'm mainly cooking from the BBC cookbooks and magazines.
