Thursday 8pmI have just been making packed lunches for myself and smallest child. Cheese sandwich for myself, cheese and ritz crackers for youngest. And whilst doing so I was munching upon some biscuits, Squiggles, that I came upon in the larder. And being a tidy soul (or fat pig if you prefer), once I had finished I scraped up all the left over bits of cheese from the counter top and stuffed them into my mouth along with the biscuits.
And the tastes went together beautifully. So beautifully in fact that I got some more and forced Nicola to try them. And she agreed with me, unless that is she was just humouring the mad man to get away, but I don’t think so.
And in that instant I realised what cookery is all about. It is the blending of flavours, textures and colours to make something nice. The rest of it, all those methods and rules are just ways to create new combinations without poisoning us. And cookery books of course are just lists of flavour combinations that people have discovered over the years.
Just for fun I think I will write a cookery book, because if it is all just painting with different tastes then we can all do it, can’t we ?

I should perhaps clarify things for anybody who comes upon this nonsense from abroad.
Squiggles are made with Hoky Poky and chocolate which is like a Crunchy Bar or chocolate covered cinder toffee.
And " Tasty" cheese is a slightly mature cheddar cheese.
enjoy.
