It's a 'tradition' in our house that Neil and I take turns cooking the evening meal.

Here's a recipe I found recently in a magazine or newspaper and which he has made a couple of times. It's a bit strange not having a list of ingredients given but he says OK when you get used to that!
What a nice tradition. I have a husband who cooks and I am grateful. I don't think he has ever followed a recipe in his life though.

@nana2r To cook without following a recipe is probably the height of 'chefery' I think! I hardly dare say that, as well as having a son who shares in cooking dinners, my husband, Ray does the breakfast and often the lunch too................I make all the cakes and puddings!

Well, I won't be letting Helen see this post! Looks like a recipe we could eat, I'm a meataterian and she's a vegetarian. Keep up the great work!

My partner Steve does a lot of cooking, I thought it was because he liked to cook, so I left him to it - apparently he just likes a cooked meal once a day, since leaving work I have entered the kitchen more :) Nice composition, and the colour of the meal stands out well.

@ness50 Vanessa. I'm glad you are both getting a cooked meal every day! You have reminded me, telling me about Steve, of my grandmother who was always cooking, making cakes, jam and wine as well as cooking the meals. When I was about 12 years old, she confided in me that she had always hated it - I was very disillusioned!

@pyrrhula It's a very nice recipe, not too strong but a lovely flavour. (Thank you for congrats - the big 365 day is Sat!!)

my husband has tried to cook, but never turns out as he imagined and he gave it up. It looks like a great recipe, I agree with you that it seems strange that the ingredients are not listed all together.

Nice shot. Love the idea, my husband is expert in barbecuing but he doesn't have patience for cooking.
