Well I like to cook, more often than not. Like nearly all women nowadays We are very busy. Yet I do love to get into the galley and produce tasty feast for my family and friends. I take great take pleasure in being the talk of the town “If you get invited to Alice’s House for dinner, don’t say no, she’s a remarkable cook”. That is among the many opinions which have been extended about my cooking prowess. It makes me very proud. I have some favorite cook books and I love to fiddle with all the recipes . I often go back to the book I obtained a recipe from years later and see what I’m creating is fairly diverse compared to original recipe. I believe it is the mark of a good cook when you can change a recipe to make it work better or make something up on the fly.

To be honest we are all very busy and occasionally we just need to have something easy and quick to cook. Well there is no way I would get away with baked beans on toast for dinner in this house, butI do possess a few tricks up my sleeve for when I am just to tired don’t have time or couldn’t be bothered.

Phoning to get a Pizza is unthinkable, except if it is a code red disaster (which happens occasionally). Therefore i am left with, what will i do that is very quick? Today we’re spoilt for choice with some of the packet mixes and jars that are around, and so many of them are really good (some aren’t). I have to say that a not too long ago discovered favourite of mine is the Continental apricot chicken curry. Now usually I will have to add some of my own , personal twist to a packet mix, but this one delivers purely following the directions. A very long time favourite may be the quick cook meatballs from Woolworths with a jar of my very favourite Paul Newman’s own pasta sauce along with a can of diced tomatoes. If I want a curry in a rush I truly do have to make a little bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth a try. Now really, none of this is as good as cooking yourself, however it works when you are pressed for time and means you can get something way much better than a frozen TV dinner on the table.
