See what I did there? How I twisted the name of the cookbook? Damn I’m good.
Anyway, I enjoy cooking. I cook nearly every night. Simon cooks on occasion, but I cook most of the time.
I’m not some big fancy cook. I am not a gourmet. But I cook things that are good to eat.
Tonight I cooked Pasta Bake. It has chicken and lots of fresh veggies and some lovely half fat mozzarella melted on top. Oh, and pasta, obviously.
I own many cookbooks. I own basic ones, like the title twisted Joy of Cooking and not so basic ones like Silver Spoon and 1080. Tomorrow night I am making meatballs from Silver Spoon.
Since I am diabetic, I try to cook low carb. Lots of veg, some meat, a bit of pasta or bread along side.
Simon likes my cooking. Good thing, since he eats it all the time!
I have one or two ‘dinner party’ dishes. Although I don’t only cook them for dinner parties. One is chicken in red wine sauce, a recipe I figured out on my own. The other is Goulash. Both are so.darn.yummy.
So I enjoy cooking. And I enjoy buying and reading cook books. Cuz I get a lot of Joy in Cooking.
What’s 1080 like? I keep reading mixed reviews but I’d much rather have a trusty review from a fellow friend and cook!
Its just okay, really. A lot of the recipes are the same, i.e. chicken with item, beef with item, fish with item. I haven’t actually made anything out of it yet. That’s the next book on the agenda to cook from, so I’ll let you know!
