I'm 22 and I live in Birmingham with my boyfriend. I don't get much chance to take my time over cooking but when I do it's something I really enjoy. I have also recently discovered I suffer from IBS so I am trying to adapt all my old favourites to my new diet. I love cooking with whatever is in the fridge. Some of the best things I have cooked have been all the bits left in the fridge that needed to be used up! My mum is a great cook. She showed me how to do all the basic I know and i still call her if I get stuck. She also showed me how to make Spinach and Ricotta (Low Fat) Cannelloni which is a firm favourite with me and my boyfriend now we live on our own! Also my little sister is a very fussy vegetarian so i like finding things she will eat with us! My First Christmas Dinner!!!! I made a Slow Cooked Beek casserole. The vegetables all turned out wonderfully but it was a cheap bit of meat and i left it cooking a little too long so you could bounce the meat by the time it came out!
