Unlike Nicci and Lucy, I don’t really cook.
I claim I can’t, but on the TV show Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook (remember that?
Amazing!) I would definitely be on the Won’t team. However, I’ve been branching
out a bit, and I successfully created some dishes over the festive period that
I was quite proud of.
I
have included some pictures of what I believe were my best bits. They
include: A California Christmas Cake (generously doused in sherry); Banana,
Date & Apricot Muffins (I made mini loaves cos I couldn’t resist the cases);
Sweet potato and lentil filo parcels; Honey-roasted parsnip soup (picture of
the honey and roasting process as a picture of soup would be rather dull); and
the big Festive family meal I made all by myself including a Butternut squash Jalousie,
fruity red cabbage, brussell sprouts with sticky shallots, and crispy sage potatoes
(aka Grenade Potatoes to Mattie Hirst).
On the back of this, I have decided that
cooking more shall be my new resolution – I’m going to aim for one new recipe a
week and the rest of the Fancy Full ladies are attempting this for a month as well! And to make it more fun for myself, I am going to create a beast of a
scrapbook full of all the successes for future reference, but made all pretty!
My very own recipe book – watch out Delia.
