NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN HOME COOKING – IT’S THE ELIXIR OF LIFE

Most of us can only cook 6 meals from scratch. Busy lifestyles mean we rely on too much-processed food and takeaways.The inevitably knock on effect is our health. Diabetes & Obesity are at record levels and constant misinformation means many of us have a blinkered approach to food.This site will reclaim your kitchen getting you to cook great food saving you time, money and maybe a lot more. There are hundreds of recipes that are easy to prepare and cook, many with herbs & spices that will take your cooking to another culinary world. Just dip in – I know you won’t be disappointed.

I also like to tell & write a good yarn. I don’t mince my words and am not scared to speak out. I’ve had a number of articles published (please see press). Sadly there is too much disengagement between society and disability and my blog is about bridging that gap. Hopefully delivered with a little irony, sometimes some common sense, but always in the belief – that tomorrow will be an even better day. I hope you enjoy the recipes and content and please – Have a good day.
