… and here we are again – another lockdown.
When I thought about the back-burner stuff I had in mind the Christmas holidays – however it may be that the ideas might come in handy now and not for the back-burner after all.
Over the last months lots of us have struggled getting to grips with cooking at home - at the beginning it was a challenge and even, dare I say, fun. The trouble is that we're all now fed up and weary of being confined - the restaurants and pubs are on hold again and it's back to our own kitchen.
Boredom weakens our resolve and the temptation to throw food on a plate willy-nilly and to eat badly is all too easy. What might help is a new piece of kit which almost does the work for you in that its shape tailors how you serve food and the amount too.
Do you own decent sized bowls aka deep pasta bowls? If no, then you might want to consider making an investment – they are excellent pieces of kit for the winter months. I've used mine many times.
Here's an example :
the bowl measures 29cms/11½”
the broad rim 5cms/2”
the cutter measures 10cms/4”
and is a perfect size to place a circle of food
You don't have to be absolutely accurate – the photo and measurements are meant as a guide - it's easier to centralise a portion and then build upon it.
Even the most enthusiastic and committed of cooks lose the will and run out of ideas sooner or later so, in an attempt to raise your spirits coming next is the basis for a comfort bowl of weekend food that hasn't been thrown onto a plate. It's not cheffy or fussy - it's easy and what you add to it is simply whatever you fancy.
Coming next – my favourite comfort bowl
