Lockdown Food - Taking the Time to Cook and Enjoy

I thought it was high time I published some pictures of the some of the food we have been eating over the past grisly eight months. It has been a time invested in the home, the kitchen and the family as most other normal activities have not been able to happen. The food bills have been alarming with five of us eating three times a day at home, but we saved on external entertainment so I guess it’s swings and roundabouts...

Like many, N and I put on weight which we have been trying to get off again since our return from holiday in September (our beach bodies left a lot to be desired!!). We have engaged with The Fast Diet (Dr Michael Moseley) and have managed to shift some pounds with relative ease and still able to enjoy good food and drink. What’s not to like?? 

In due course I will be putting up some more recipes of my own invention, as always based on what I have in the fridge and store cupboard and with the mantra ‘Waste Not Want Not’. In the meantime, here is a little picture gallery of some of the things we have enjoyed - from beef brisket, chicken, steak, lamb and pork to sea bass, salad, soups, curries, risottos and pasta. Together, we have enjoyed the whole gamut of taste sensations and the pure pleasure of cooking up a tasty meal while taking the time to sit around the table sharing our thoughts and feelings from the day.
