Simple local food, and depending on what you feel like add fresh veg, whatever is in season, herbs, tomato, maybe some chilli, stock cubes, seasoning and cook slowly in the bottom oven for ages. Usually leave until the next day before eating so all the flavours infuse. Sometimes with chicken or pork, occasionally beef and sometimes just veg based and then grill meat to add a you wish. Anything left over is frozen and a quick meal for another day or a basis for a pasta dish, spuds or whatever. Wholesome home cooking.

ditchman Posted June 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 i think alot of the woes in this world would dissapear if the children that are causing the problem now ....were brought up on good wholesome cooking....which would feed the bodies and feed the brain....and be aware that it comes from "their" HOME.......

Bigbob Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I like cooking the simple way i disperse when you see Nigella cooking and she goes into her stock cupboard probably bigger than my kitchen and pulls out all the obscure stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
