Cooking in your own home

Posted March 10th, 2010 by Spike

Well I like to cook, usually. Like nearly all women now I am extremely active. Yet I really do love to get into the kitchen and create mouth-watering feast for my friends and family. I take great enjoy being the talk of the town “If you get invited to Alice’s Place for dinner, don’t say no, she’s an incredible cook”. That is among the many comments that have been spread about my cooking prowess. It makes me very proud. I have some most-liked cook books and I love to mess with the recipes . I often return to the book I got a recipe from years later and discover that what I’m creating is quite different as opposed to original recipe. I believe that it is the mark of a 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 occasionally we just need to have something fast and simple to cook. Well there is no way I would get away with baked beans on toast for dinner in this house, butI actually do have a few tricks up my sleeve for when I’m just to tired do not have time or could not be bothered.

Dialing for a Pizza is out of the question, unless it’s a code red disaster (which happens at times). So I am left with, what will i do that is very quick? These days we have been spoilt for choice with a number of the packet mixes and jars that are around, and so 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 would need to add some of my own twist to a packet mix, but this one delivers purely using the guidelines. A long time favourite may be the quick cook meatballs from Woolworths using 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 have to make a bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth a try. Now truly, none of this is as good as cooking from scratch, but it works if you are pushed for time and will mean that you may get something way much better than a frozen TV dinner on the table.
