Yes, I want to start cooking from scratch more to be honest. Need to get myself a good, BASIC, cook book. That's what puts me off some recipies. Long list of extra ingredients that I don't have/want.
Went to watch the GC makeover programme. Thought it was on ITV so I could watch the beginning that I missed on +1, but, bother, it was on BBC 2 so now I've missed the beginning. The BBC ads for I player really bug me. Can't get it abroad. Someone told me about installing a computer thingy which lets you get it, but my anti-virus wouldn't let me. In fact watching English TV abroad is illegal. Wish they'd sort something out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Becks use Internet , I hardly use books. I don't follow recipes I change to suit, OH a happy tester ...
I use good food , Pinterest, etc , get basics and change what don't want/do ..
I find savoury easier as not so scientific with weights , but today made cake and just swapped stuff ..OH loved it , no butter just live oil. Dense gooey cake
Becks - when my son first started teaching I bought him a Kids Cookery Book as he needed to do some cooking with the Year 2 class. My "job" was to test out all the recipes to see if they were OK. They were all so good that I just photocopied the pages he wanted and kept the book myself . Still use it now for scones and pizza!

buy one item you don't have each week soon you will have a whole cup-board full can I suggest a trip to your library for a good starter cook book like Mrs Beaton's

I like digestives buttered too. Shame about the calories.
