A Life Most Tasty

If you're reading this, the chances are you are alive, so well done you on your magnificent existence!

I would also like to wager, that a large part of the reason you’re here, is the fact that almost every single day of your life so far, you partake in an activity that is vital to your well being.

Eating is one of the most important of your daily functions, it not only gives you the energy to get through the day, its the source of all kinds of nutrients and it provides the building blocks of life.

Essentially we all have to eat to live and we do this two, maybe three times a day.

So, my theory is, why not make this most vital of daily processes an enjoyable one!

You may think cooking is not for you or that you don’t really have the skills to create your own dishes or play with flavours to dazzle the taste buds

Well actually you’d be surprised; most of us at some point in our lives have developed a dish to our liking

Think of a bacon sandwich, do you have butter on your bread, add brown or red sauce? On your chips do you put vinegar, ketchup or mayo? Each time you do something like this you’re taking the food presented to you and adapting it to your own tastes. This is essentially what cooking should be; taking ingredients and then adding what you like, because you’re the one eating it.

Despite what your parents told you it’s good to play with your food. My advice is to have a go at a new recipe and once you think you’ve got the hang of it, change it. Add more spice, add less garlic, increase the sauce or introduce a completely new ingredient.

I could prattle on endlessly about the various health benefits of making your own food and not eating takeaways or microwave meals but I won’t. There are plenty of other, far more well qualified people already doing that
