Master Chef…

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to help out more in the kitchen. Not that Sue complains as she is a natural cook, but I could do more and I should learn how. I thought I might start out with one day a month (didn’t want to rush things), but I have almost managed one day a week so far and have I even have a signature dish - Lamb Rogan Josh. I cook like an engineer by following a recipe to the letter, measuring everything and keeping an eye on the timing – this is because I do not have a feel for cooking like Sue does (who can open the fridge or cupboard door and have a fine spread on the table in minutes). Luckily Sue has helped by choosing recipes that are quite flexible and do not need precise timing to work, such as curries and stews.
