What’s your favorite thing to cook?

It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s good for you.

I eat to live I don’t live to eat. I don’t go to parties or out for a meal at friends’ houses, haven’t for years. I only eat at my brother’s house and my sister-in-law is an amazing cook.

I’m gluten free so as I’ve said, restaurants aren’t fun anymore. often when I go out for coffee my husband can have an amazing panini, wonderful sandwiches on soft white bread, pastries galore. I have to have gluten free cake, and often exactly the same cake. But socialising is more important.

Do not emulate this behaviour!

I’ve never been into food, in fact legend has it that between the ages of two and three I ate three digestive biscuits a day. My mother was frantic. She kept taking me to the doctor. In the end he said:

“Barbara, she is the healthiest child in her school. The others are always in here with one bug or another, she never catches them, she is never ill. She will eat what she fancies and what she eats will do her good.”

I know modern medicine is different, and they’d have a conniption reading this. But many kids have food fads for a while, with my brother it was bacon and fish fingers only. Then suddenly he started eating other foods again too.

The thing is that I believe I was born disinterested in food, which in turn means I’m disinterested in cooking. We’ve just bought a multi-cooker that does seven things. I’m hoping that makes food a bit more interesting and faster to repair (that should be prepare but repair is probably more accurate).

However, last night I got carried away doing some research and by the time I remembered eating I had plenty of time to cook it but not if I prepared it too. So I had a cheese sandwich, very nice.
