Hello everyone.
Not only my first blog here, but my first blog anywhere, as long as you discount the ill-starred web page I once wrote entitled 'Cheeses I have loved'. I think you might figure out quite why that didn't make the light of day. In my defence, I was a little younger then.
I've long had an idea that many people are intrigued by the idea of cooking reasonably challenging recipes, but simply lack the confidence to tackle them.
It was during the course of preparing a Christmas lunch for the extended family that I became acutely aware of the chaos which had enveloped the kitchen, and it started me wondering whether a more structured way of helping the ambitious - and not so ambitious - home chefs might be useful. It certainly would have been for me then. And so an idea was born.
When I look at a recipe, the instructions are obviously an essential part, but can sometimes appear a little daunting, and I've lost count of the number of times I've prepared one part of a recipe, only to find I should have also been working on something else simultaneously. And how does that course fit in with the vegetables I'm trying to prepare. And when on earth do I start pudding?? Ok, I admit a good read-through of the recipe beforehand might have helped, but I'll leave that to the Perfect Ones. There are times when I can barely remember my own name, let alone that I needed to have a brown roux ready to add to the sauce Espagnole to create a demi-glace.
A background in process design, coupled with the observation that it can be helpful to illustrate and explain ideas using flow charts, led me to put some recipes together in a more structured way. I've stuck one of them top right. Each of my recipes shows all the different elements of the cooking process as steps in a flow chart. This one is for a lovely cottage pie.
