The feeling of having a stock of home made dishes in the freezer is rather akin to having a good woodpile. Deeply satisfying.
I plan to have a smallish repertoire of easy, quick and healthy dishes, to keep a stock of good basic ingredients for a meal for any unexpected guests...I want to be a happier and more relaxed cook, a less grudging cook, a more organised cook, a more respectful and mindful cook, and I have accepted that if I want really good food (and I do) then I am going to have to make it myself.
And enjoy myself making it.
