Well I really like to cook at home, generally. Like nearly all women now We are extremely active. But I really do love to get into the galley and make mouth watering feast for my family and friends. I take great delight in being the talk of the town “If you get invited to Alice’s House for dinner, don’t say no, she is a remarkable cook”. That is among the many remarks that have been extended about my cooking prowess. It makes me very proud. I’ve some favorite cook books and I enjoy to fiddle with the recipes . I often go back to the book I obtained a recipe from years later and discover that what I’m creating is fairly diverse than the original recipe. I think it is the mark of a very good cook when 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 sometimes we simply need to have something simple and fast to cook. Well there is certainly no way I would 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’m just to tired don’t have time or could not be bothered.
Phoning for a Pizza is out of the question, except if it’s a code red catastrophe (which happens sometimes). 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 that are around, and so some of them are really good (some are not). I have to say that a lately 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 may be the quick cook meatballs from Woolworths with a jar of my very favourite Paul Newman’s own pasta sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. If I want a curry in a hurry I really do have to make a little bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth a try. Now really, none of this is just like cooking from scratch, nonetheless it works if you are pushed for time and will mean that you may get something way better than a frozen TV dinner on the table.
