Not cooking, but I used to bake a banana bread that people raved over.

My cooking can be very hit or miss, think Mrs Cropley, Vicar of Dibley
But my lot love my moussaka. I make a huge one and freeze it in smaller portions, and hungry offspring always raid and take some home

I just made marmalade, i was always put off by the memory of my mother sweating over a pan you could cook children in and a million empty coffee jars. Today though, sooner than waste 2 tangerines and 2 lemons, i dont like waste and already have a stock of dehydrated so i took the plunge.

Useless at cooking. If I can’t stick it in the microwave and wait for the ‘ping’, then it’s usually too much trouble.

I love to cook junk food but from scratch so I can control what goes into it. Think Pizza, Chinese, Indian, KFC, Burgers etc but I do make some good wholesome grub as well occasionally.

Doesnt matter what you cook, if its made from scratch at least you get to choose what goes in. Then theres the whole process, its so mindful. At least cooking for one is… im far more adventurous cooking for myself, if i mess it up theres only me got to eat it.

I love moussaka but I have only made it once. I think it took me all day! It is the most high maintenance dish I have cooked.

I made this recipe as a request for a special birthday celebration recently & everyone said it was really delicious. I used a slow cooker and the meat was v tender and falling off the bone. I really enjoyed it too & would love to make it again but it was so much effort. I’m getting to the stage where I am all cooked out and just look for simple easy meals that hit the right spot.

Banana bread is delicious!
I made some yesterday for my son. A bit of an experiment but I added some mixed dried fruit, ground nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon along with the zest of a lime. The idea was to give it a Christmassy kind of taste and I’m happy to say it worked 
Not forgetting the other essential ingredient of course!
