Not So Perfect Cooking

It seems that anyone, with some assistance from TV chefs, can whip up a meal in no time at all, worthy of serving at the classiest high brow "A la carte" restaurants. With the perfect measurement of ingredients using the perfectly formed vegetables and the classiest of meat cuts the perfect meal can be prepared. Wrong! Let's get back to basics, certainly in this period when the focus is on cost reduction and savings in the family home. Somewhere between the "TV celebrities chefs" and beneath "Come dine with me" lies a void for the ordinary person. Not so perfect cooking fills that void. The focus is on good wholesome meals for the working family. Using fresh vegetables from the garden or allotment is a bonus. These vegetable would probably never see a supermarket shelf due to their shapes and various sizes. In fact they would probably be thrown away, which is a sad waste of good food. The recipes are easy to follow with your own variations being encouraged. But that's not all! Alongside the cooking is a new kitchen experience. The "ABC" game. A selection of topics and stories using the alphabet. There are prepared examples and recommendations on new topics to play along with the family whilst waiting for the meals to be cooked. The emphasis is on good and easy cooking and a fun experience in the kitchen.
