Why this blog, essentials and the basics..........Part 1!

My Foody Bloggy 

Why?

Okay this blog is a demand blog from some friends of mine (Lucinda and Jube!)

Due to financial reasons I have to food plan, I have always done it and have some cracking recipes, of which most look like the most complicated thing ever yet are really simple things to make with the simplest of ingredients.


My essentials

  Kitchen equipment:

  • Slow cooker
  • Scales/measuring cups (handy if using American recipes)
  • Electric mixer with whisk attachment
  • Cheese grater
  • measuring spoons
  • plastic and ceramic mixing bowls (several as I am a messy cook and can have several things on the go at any one time)

Cupboard essentials:

To be fair I don't stock pile things, I tend to buy whats required if I don't have it or have run out, but like most things, they last a while and if you only use a pinch of this and that......!
