There are people who claim to be instinctive cooks, who never follow recipes or weigh anything at all. All I can say is they're not very fussy about what they eat. For me, cooking is an exact art and not some casual game.
From Delia Smith
A cake is a very good test of an oven: if it browns too much on one side and not on the other, it's not your fault - you need to have your oven checked.
Memories are fallible and a timer can save a lot of hard work from going out of the window.
Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.
But quite honestly I can't help being a passionate football supporter. If that's my sin, I'm guilty.
I sometimes think the chef end of cooking is not the real end of cooking. Cooking is all about homes and gardens, it doesn't happen in restaurants.
Getting into the habit of switching a timer on will, I promise, save you from any number of kitchen disasters.
I found in my whole career the best thing that can happen to you is that you hear what people want.
Good kitchen equipment is expensive, but most items last a lifetime and will pay for themselves over and over again.
Remember, it's very simple to have an oven tested professionally, and it only takes about five minutes.
