I have done very little proper cooking lately, after changing direction late in life and becoming a parent. Hilariously (to my friends at least) my daughter is fast becoming a very ‘fussy eater’ who would happily exist on a diet of porridge, oat cakes and pasta. Meanwhile I’ve become an armchair cook, finally reading through some of the many cookery books that I own but barely use.
