Learning to Cook

I'm a self-taught cook.  My Mother had only two or three basic recipes, and the whole family used to get really fed up with them !  so when I married and left home I had to teach myself.  I was more adventurous and it's easier when you enjoy cooking.   I love all the cookery programmes on the TV now, but wonder if anyone ever tries the recipes out.

 

My favourite type of cooking is 'frugal cookery', I like to see what dishes I can make with very few or plain ingredients.  Saving money is always important to me.  My children left home long ago and I find myself alone again now, it's difficult sometimes to get the motivation to cook for oneself, but when I do, I 'bulk cook' so I have something in the freezer for the next few days and it makes it worthwhile then.

 

I'm a vegetarian too, so I suppose that's a little more of a challenge,  I have some lovely 'veggie' recipes.
