Hi
I cook every day when not in hospital.
Because I have vascular disease as well as decompensated heart failure and unstable angina, I am on a very low fat diet.
Even those limited amounts of fat I can have have to be of a particular type.
I cook a lot of veg, but stir fry type, in very little fat, which has to have a high burning temperature.
My medications involve some very strong anticoagulants, so I have to avoid knives as much as possible, so I buy a lot of frozen veg in addition to that which I grow myself.
I grow a lot of tomatoes, chillies and salad veg and onions, as well as 20+ types of herbs and edible flowers.
Meat is mostly chicken and turkey thighs and legs, much cheaper then breast fillets, and most of the fat is subcutaneous, so I skin them myself, very quick and easy to do.
Lods of fish , used to catch it all myself, now alaskan frozen Pollack, very cheap and tasty.
I make my own burgers, buy the beef flank, defat it and mince it and I have a former to make the burgers with my own herbs.
Brown rice, much better and tastier and make my own pasta.
Great fun and well worth the effort.
