I love to cook......but being a mum to 3 i suppose i have too.
However now the twins are 9 they are also very keen to learn how to cook.....i think i was the same age when my mum showed me how to cook.
My fave things to make are cakes......yum yum!!
Im getting there! decided last Sunday to buy myself a cookbook and ive already sorted what Mark and i are eating for about the first month were in our house! Ive tried a few things and theyve all been fine but im sure we'll soon find out how far my talents really stretch!
Yep, I love to cook too! I've been making a lot of fruit terrines and sorbet this month because its been so hot! I don't fancy cooking anything this weekend though, I just want to curl up and relax properly!
I used to cook a fair bit, but since being with the marvellous Karen I've desended into the dreaded "bloke who's lovely lady cooks for him" stereotype. She is just som much better than me, and I do the cleaning and washing up (although I don't do that properly apparently ).
My friends still recall the time I made spinach pancakes and they said they were particularly fantastic. I made the cheese sauce from scratch and used fresh spinach so I was quite chuffed. I used to work at a posh country hotel in my teens doing the bar food, so I'm pretty good and putting together starters and making them look nice.
i love to cook and bake but at the moment i am looking forward to a weekend where i am not decorating the new house so i can try out the cooker a make a decent meal

and baby makes 3 our family is complete i couldn't ask for more.
I love cooking, especially Asian food like Thai etc. Lots of fun chopping and pounding and grinding! And I can grow some of the herbs and spices myself too - real feeling of satisfaction. Can't bake or do desserts at all though - my best is sorbet!
Am available for dinner party requests in Australia, or recipe requests for Asian food!!!

Er Nikki - you know, if you are ever board, have soem time time on your hands, you could always pop down to South London. There are always a couple of hungry months to feed here!!!
I got myself a Nigela L cookbook, made up one of the recepies for friends that were coming over for dinner...What a bad idea!!! It was so awful!!! And as some of my friends are as untactfull as myself I realised that it wasn't just me who felt like wreching!!!
Well best stick with what I am used to and making it up as I go along. mind you there was that time that friends had third degree burns on their tongues from a rather hot curry...!

Which Nigella book was it? My friend has one of them and says her measurements are unreliable. Which is fine with some things but not others...... I tend to guess most of the time and her recipes seem to work - exact measurements may be a dreadful mistake.....

It was Nigella Bites (but not if she is eating Jacqui's food!) and i think it was the meatballs - it was pretty basic anyway. As much as I would love to blame the book, I really think it was me!
But thanks anyway!
Could be!
i think I am subconciously looking for someone to do the cooking for me! (not the h2b though as I would be eating baked beans and eggs all the time!)
