Best compliment to my cooking is an emptied plate, preferably not having been tipped out the window when my back was turned. I enjoy cooking, not heating up ready meals but concocting from ingredients and filling the kitchen with wonderful aromas – burning isn’t an unpleasant smell.
When Sue and I read all the Meniere’s stuff (i.e. salt can make Menieres worse) we cut out salt and immediately found food bland. I’ve never been that fond of salt preferring the flavour of freshly ground black pepper. Sue loved the white stuff and used to cover her food with it to the extent that mashed potato took on a winter wonderland look.
