Cooking in your own home

Well I like to prepare food, generally. Like majority of the women these days We are extremely active. But I truly do love to get into the kitchen and make tasty feast for my family. I take great delight in being the talk of the town “If you get invited to Alice’s Place for dinner, don’t say no, she is an amazing cook”. That is among the many opinions which have been propagate about my cooking prowess. It makes me very happy. I have some favorite cook books and I love to mess with the recipes . I often go back to the book I obtained a recipe from years later and find that what I am making is very different compared to original recipe. I believe it is the mark of a very good cook if you can change a recipe to make it work better or make something up on the fly.

To be honest we are all very busy and occasionally we must have something fast and simple to cook. Well there is certainly no way I’d get away with baked beans on toast for dinner in this house, butI actually do possess a few tricks up my sleeve for when I am simply to tired do not have time or could not be bothered.

Dialing for a Pizza is unthinkable, except if it’s a code red disaster (which happens at times). And so i am left with, what will i do that is very quick? Nowadays we are spoilt for choice with a number of the packet mixes and jars which are around, therefore many of them are really good (some are not). I have to say that a recently discovered favourite of mine is the Continental apricot chicken curry. Now usually I will have to add some of my own twist to a packet mix, but this one delivers purely by using the guidelines. A long time favourite is the quick cook meatballs from Woolworths with a jar of my very favourite Paul Newman’s own pasta sauce along with a can of diced tomatoes. If I want a curry in a hurry I really need to make a little bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth trying. Now truly, none of this is as good as cooking from scratch, but it works when you are constrained for time and means that you may get something way superior to a frozen TV dinner on the table.
