Where Do You Get Your Inspiration
12 Answers
For the keen cooks amongst us..and possibly the not so keen...where do you get your inspiration from as to what to cook?
I know we all have our favourite meals which come round on a regular basis but if you fancy doing something you've never done before, and enjoy the whole cooking process and spending time and effort in the kitchen, where do you look...internet, cookery books, magazines, friends, here???

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have 68 cookery books and enjoy leafing through them but sometimes the best meals come from thinking through what there is in the fridge/cupboards. Inspiration usually comes, sometimes at the last minute. I carry a huge selection of foodstuffs so can usually make anything without finding I have vital ingredients missing.
I will refer to a recipe if I'm making pastry or bread etc, to get the ratios of flour, butter, liquids, etc. correct. Then I "wing it" and add whatever I think will work.
All other meals I invent while I cook.
Have a few failures now and again but mostly cook meals that are appreciated.
The only drawback to my madness is I can't cook the same meal twice.
