Well not quite. When I say cooking with mother I mean more so attempted baking (with the added bonus of flour and sugar everywhere) with my “urban family” of friends.
I’ve read a couple of articles about the recession causing fast-food outlets (who shall not be named!) to be one of the only businesses that’s still smiling in this gloomy time.
Understandably people are going for the cheap option and unfortunately the first thing you think when you hear the word cheap is “unhealthy, quick, convenient” a.k.a fast food.
Attempting to fight-back the tide of takeaway menu leaflets my friends and I are buying good old wholesome basics like “self-raising flour” in order to concoct our own recipes. These basics are surprisingly cheap when you buy in bulk (especially when you compare them to their pre-made, neatly-packaged counterparts)
I was quietly chuffed with the fact I’ve passed on my recipe for mean marmite scones via email to a few people who wanted the recipe after eating it!
As another big-name food corporation (they’ll remain nameless too!) says; “Every little helps”
