Because I am so intermittent about this blog, I thought I would start to try and write it in a more disciplined and constructive way. For my own interest, I thought writing about what we cook and eat every day would be illuminating. And perhaps a bit boring. So I will try and illustrate it as well.
Firstly, I don't cook every day; sometimes I am weary and don't find the prospect of the stove a reviving one. Secondly I am rather constrained by what "they" will eat. They are male and like meat, one actively hates fish, and there is a limit to the amount of veg I can cook. Thirdly, often I have cooking jags when I cook a lot of things to get ahead (for example, yesterday I cooked a stew, roast tomato sauce, ratatouille, chicken stock and a chocolate cake, on Thursday I cooked a cheese mousse and some pate sablee and creme patissiere and on Friday I used the pastry and custard to make a French strawberry tart. It may be that I won't cook at all tomorrow. As a result, I will post a recipe every day, but it won't necessarily be that day's recipe.
Here we go then -
