I have never been much of a culinary artist! Most of my sauces were from jars and meals premade. From Slimming World to working alongside students learning to cook food, my confidence in the kitchen increased.

When I first made spaghetti bolognaise from scratch, I thought it wouldn’t succeed. A tin of tomatoes, herbs, vegetables, and patient stirring, and created something that tasted nice. I am now able to make cheese sauce too. It might be a little lumpy, but lacks any of the additives in a jar. When you prepare it in a lasagne, you cannot tell the difference.

Also, went through a phase where I was baking every weekend; without using a mix. Lemon drizzle cake, victoria sponge, and apples pies were edible and a tasty treat with a cup of coffee.

Am I the chef in our house? No, mainly because I am occupied with a job all day, and my husband is retired. He cooks and I wash up; that’s the deal. That way I can keep on writing on my blog and reading all your wonderful creations.

  1. Do you use cornflour for your sauces? I find they don’t go lumpy then.
    My lasagna is pretty good, and will last us two days. Too many additives in foods these days. Hubby is making another loaf tomorrow!
