Cooking is fun and a necessity if you are going to be able to look after yourself and family as economically as possible. It isn't difficult if you have easy recipes to give you confidence.
I'm sharing my blog of easy recipes with those who may have never had anyone to help them cook and need to start now, or those that are already happy cooks, but just need some inspiration.
I believe that you need to buy natural ingredients, if they don't have flavour to start with, you can't give them flavour later.
Buying cheap meat is a false economy, by the time it has cooked I've found that the amount of water released during cooking is astonishing, leaving a scrap of actual meat. When you weigh what is left, it is actually more expensive than good quality meat. Try to buy free range where possible, local even better, no nasty additives, antibiotics or steriods either.
Look out for reduced items and either cook immediately or freeze. We eat really well, but don't spend a fortune.
If you are university, club together, it's cheaper, and try some of my recipes. There's always beans on toast if you need it, but you don't need a recipe for that.
The most important thing is to get adventurous with your cooking once a week and try something new.
And
Have fun cooking.
