About Me

Most of my cooking as an adult involved opening a jar of ‘chicken tonight’ or ‘ragu’ and my most adventurous meal would be a roast chicken. Cooking was never something I enjoyed, it was something that needed to be done to feed the family. That is until I met Rob. I got lucky with that one as he loved cooking and was fabulous at it. Fantastic, I would never have to ‘cook’ again……. Or so I thought!!! Being with Rob and seeing what he could throw together and still make taste fab triggered something in me to give it a go. He also had a good range of celebrity chef cook books which seemed to get added to every Christmas, and his love of watching cookery programmes seemed to rub off on me. So I have decided to try and work my way through the hundreds of recipes we have and to be a little more adventurous with food rather than sticking to the handful of recipes I know and trust.And at the same time try to make my meals go further. Blogging seemed the ideal way to record my efforts and review the recipes.

So this is my first ever blog post.

After chatting to my lovely local butcher about how expensive a decent joint of meat was he suggested trying brisket. Now being fairly new to this cooking malarky, I had of course heard of it but had no idea where it was from or indeed how to cook it but he assured me that as long as its cooked for a long time it will be lovely.
So I left him to source some for me.(Brisket isn't something he usually buys in as most people want quick cuts of meat not something that takes hours)
I had a call from him on Friday to let me know he had got some in so it was time for me to find a recipe and start my blog.
