Reasons to keep a food diary…
1. I didn’t always like cooking and I still get nervous about my cooking skills - especially when I have to cook for other people. Some things work and some things don’t; I’d like to keep some notes for reference in the future, eg, for the experiments that turn out much better than I’d expected, and for the things that didn’t quite come off and that I’ll want to adjust next time. And, of course, the ‘DON’T EVER TRY THAT AGAIN’ experiences.
2. I pick up a lot of online recipes and sometimes can’t track them down afterwards - I’d like to be able to find the good ones easily again. (And have some memory of what I did to them, since I rarely follow a recipe exactly.)
3. To show that it doesn’t take vast amounts of time, skill or fancy ingredients to produce tasty and interesting food.
