I love good food, cooking and entertaining my friends. I am not so keen on fussy fiddly cookery, the sort of cookery that keeps one in the kitchen for hours to produce something that admitedly looks fantastic but is still eaten quickly like anything else. I will cook like this occasionally, but I prefer to experiment, learn how I can make my life easier for myself, prepare ahead, freeze, preserve. I prefer all my food to be home cooked, sometimes life seems too short so I need shortcuts to get what I want and prefer. This is how I have always cooked, this is how my mother cooked, this probably is how I shall always cook for the vast majority of the time.
