I have decided to document, amongst other things, the cooking rota we have established in the flat I live in. How well, how much, how cheaply can we eat?
Six (sometimes seven) people
One person cooking each night
£10 per person, per week. Which means almost £10 per 6-7 person meal.
This has been going for a few weeks and is proving to be a success. Sometimes all the stops are pulled out (T slaving over a gammon roast for hours and hours), meticulous forward planning has resulted in feasts for not one night but a following lunch (C's risotto with home made chicken stock) and sometimes we have enjoyed the most homely of dinners which taste exactly as they should (M's perfect carbonara pasta).
So far we have established that: we will always underestimate the time it will take to cook potatoes in our gas oven without parboiling. £10 is rarely enough to cook a main and a dessert but when it is it's very good. More to come. I should start thinking about this week's dish.
