I
love cooking best when the cooking’s a little bit of a challenge –
when I’m prepping a meal for friends, or trying out a new recipe, or
experimenting with some bizarre exotic ingredient: when I’m cooking
for fun, that is. But when it’s for the simple and rather dull reason
that it’s 7 pm and I haven’t had a bite to eat since noontime, and
my stomach’s so cranky at the lack of food that it’s threatening to
auto-digest, cooking feels like a chore, and fun’s the last thing on
my mind. On nights like
these, I want food that’s fast, filling and easy. Even
if you’re the sort of person who loves reading cookbooks for kicks,
there are days when you find yourself standing in the kitchen come
dinner time, brain so distracted by the persistent rumblings in your
stomach, that you can’t for the life of you figure out how to make the
hunger go away in the quickest – but still satisfying, of course –
manner possible. For times
like these, it’s good to have a few no-brainer quickie “recipes”
on hand … 1
