If it tastes good, it's probably illegal, dangerous or fattening.

Total bollocks, you cynical owld bastard! I grow my own organic veg (as much as poss, space permitting) and I do all the cooking. No convenience shite my end! On Saturday we had baked cod, caught in Cornish waters, with new potatoes from my garden baked in olive oil with garlic and rosemary. Yesterday we had free-range chicken pieces with pancetta and roasted red peppers. Tonight we had paella with chicken and spicy chorizo with pancetta and peas, cooked in my own chicken stock. If it tastes good to me, it's good. If it doesn't, I've mismanaged it (I'm no Gino or Jamie). That's because I've done it myself with the best ingredients I can get my hands on, and because my palate is properly attuned. None of it cost big money and none of it was dangerous or fattening. I know this because I've taken charge of my cooking, aiming for deliciousness above all, and I've lost three stones in nine months, without the hint of a diet book in sight.
