Cooking in the home
Well I love to cook at home, more often than not. Like majority of the women nowadays I am extremely occupied. Nevertheless I truly do love to get into the kitchen and make 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 Home for dinner, don’t say no, she is an incredible cook”. That is among the many comments that have been extended about my cooking prowess. It makes me very proud. I have some much-loved cook books and I enjoy to mess with the recipes . I often return to the book I got a recipe from years later and see what I’m producing is fairly diverse compared to original recipe. I believe that 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.
The thing is 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 am simply to tired do not have time or couldn’t be bothered.
Calling to get a Pizza is unthinkable, unless it’s a code red catastrophe (which happens sometimes). So I am left with, what can i do that is really quick? Today we have been spoilt for choice with some 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 not too long ago 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 that one delivers purely using the directions. A very 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 rush I truly need to make a little bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth trying. Now really, none of this is just like cooking from scratch, however it works if you are pressed for time and will mean that you can get something way much better than a frozen TV dinner on the table.
