I am trying to broaden my skills as a cook. I was brought up in a family that had Findus Crispy Pancakes, chips, pizza and fish fingers every day. So I learned very little about cooking as a child and I feel I have big gaps in my knowledge.
I already cook:
- veggie lasagne
- veggie shephards pie
- tuna pasta bake
- french toast
- breakfast pancakes
- Jamie Oliver's Caponata (Italian aubergine stew)
- Jamie Oliver's Bustrengo (Italian bread pudding)
I am often overwhelmed when looking at cookery books as I just don't know where to start. I'm looking for a few dishes that I can cook for myself and the children. I prefer vegetarian dishes due to the cost and health benefits.
