I have been writing almost daily since 23 March under the heading Simply Eat. So what has it all been about? I quickly realised that what I am doing is trying to clarify my own thoughts about the subject of food. It is such an important thing, eating! I've been asking myself 'What are my issues on this topic and what are my feelings about these issues?' I've looked at what when where why and how I eat and learned a few things along the way. I have takens some decisions to make changes, and I am making plans.
I HAVE:-
Been eating lots, losing weight and enjoying the process thanks to Zoe Harcombe ('Cheat but not too often and not too much')
Made a few resolutions about what to eat thanks to Michael Pollan: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. And I'll follow The Great Grandma Rule (see 30 march).
Decided to make great cakes, but only on special occasions, and only when they will be shared.
Become interested again in cooking. I have ambitions to make the wonderfully named Janssen's Temptation, and Imam Biyaldi, which means the priest fainted - with pleasure, one hopes - and a plaited loaf I used to make which looks like something from a Harvest Festival (or Harvest Vestibule as a four year old of my acquaintance called it!)
Decided to use just one cookbook for now (Zoe Harcombe's) and indulge in a few new cookbooks which are kind of travelogues and cookbooks for enjoyable reading and occasional really special meals....
