Exploration: Easy, Efficient, and Economical.

A wise man once said,
"Oh, I adore to cook. It makes me feel so mindless in a worthwhile way."

And I agree! Life is a often a whirlwind of family, friends, work, sports, school, university, holidays, parties, cleaning, etc etc...even writing about it is exhausting me! I find the only peace I get is when I cook (or bake, but that's a touchy subject for me and my guesstimate-the-temperature oven) because I can concentrate on only one simple thing at a time. I would recommend it over a bath, a film, anything.

Upon scrolling through my past on Instagram, I realised that I am that annoying friend who posts consistently all of their meals. But for me, it is because I am proud: I cook almost all my meals myself and I like to show people! This made me think that perhaps the only reason that others don't cook as much as I do it because they are afraid. Cooking is seen as a long, arduous task that can be much more easily achieved through a ready meal and a microwave in 2-3 minutes (depending on your wattage), but I want to challenge that!

Cooking can be easy, cooking can be fun, cooking can be cheap, and cooking can be quick! My first recipe (a Chicken-Miso broth) shows you how to make an impressive family-sized meal for next to nothing in less than half an hour, and is something that you can still serve at a dinner party. I will aim to post fairly regularly, with both past and current recipes, shared from others or of my own invention, which are Easy, Efficient, and Economical. I hope to inspire you to cook more and the learn to love the process, as well as to gain the many benefits of being your own chef.

Good luck on your quest for your own inner foodie!
