I’ve never been one to cook different meals for different people, I like to take into account everyone’s dietary differences/requirements and then work on the premise that one meal feeds all.
As a result, I never cook risotto for David and I because I call it risotto but he calls it “hot, wet rice” and does not care for it at all. As a result, whenever he’s dining out and I’m dining in, you can pretty much lay money on the fact that I’ll be cooking some kind of risotto! It works both ways though, when I go out you can pretty much bet that David is going to be reheating a homemade pie or cheese on toast – his two specialities a la maison.
Risotto might not be David’s favourite and the death dish on Masterchef but it’s a winner dinner when you whip this up in the Thermomix.
Do you operate a “one meal feeds all” policy in your house? What’s one dish you won’t eat?
