How I cook is not very different from the way I live my life...I often try to economise by using what's already in my cupboard and creating the best I can with it by matching flavours, making it look pretty and cooking it well.
I don't use recipes because I find it takes away the creative thrill I get out of cooking. Cooking for me is often a way of expressing myself...so if I'm feeling upbeat and my usual ambitious driven self I'll use a lot of chilli,herbs and spices but on a day when I'm feeling a bit low I'll probably be tipping towards sinful and sweet with chocolate on the menu or maybe just plain and simple comfort food like spaghetti and cheese...I absolutely love the Greek 'Anari'...but you can also use low fat home brand supermarket cheddar(lots of it!).
When I'm in the mood to relax and stay in I like to splash some wine into the pan (and my glass too!)which is most likely to have pasta sauce of some creative sort cooking in it. The biggest challenge for me, was learning to cook for one and not having to eat leftovers the next day...but now I think I'm an ace at it :)
