MY PRIVATE CHEF

I admit to loving winter stews at this time when the nights are long and dark. Slow cookers are just the ticket and if it comes to a choice the air fryer will lose every time.

Filling and nourishing and can hide a few select “special” ingredients…I run the risk of repeating myself on this topic each year.

​It’s not just the flavour and value, it’s the timing. The realisation is I have more interest and motivation to cook in the morning, than in the evening after a day’s work. The chopping, slicing and dicing seems easier and less daunting at 7am than at 5pm. How rewarding to walk in the door to aromatic smells of dinner ready...not quite the private chef but damn it’s close. I figure I can then spend some saved time to catch up on Instagram chefs like Straker instead! Bon appetite!
