A Blag is simply cooking without fear. Sometimes it’s brilliant, sometimes it’s “interesting”, but it’s always yours.
Rules of the ‘Blag’
- There are no rules
- A recipe is a suggestion, not a contract
- Use what you’ve got before buying more
- Taste as you go (this is very important)
- If it works – write it down
- If it doesn’t – don’t tell anyone
- Wine is optional (but encouraged)
A Word About Freezers 💡
You don’t need a freezer to cook like this – but it really helps.
Freezers save money, reduce waste, and make life easier. Leftovers, batch cooking, reduced-price food, sauces, stock, bread – it all adds up. I’ll always tell you when something freezes well (and when it doesn’t).
Think of it as future-you doing present-you a favour.
