Believe it or not, pre-parenthood, I used to love cooking: finding new recipes, trying new flavours, strolling supermarket aisles in the quest for something new. Probably the worst aspect of cooking is the stress I put myself under to ‘succeed’ in all areas – health, budget and pleasure. If I can learn to seek out the positives over the negatives, maybe my feelings around cooking will change. All my children eat well, all of them are healthy – that’s certainly not the case for every child.
