There are some things which are too precious for words. Diamonds, 24 carat gold jewellery, an invitation to one of Kim Kardashian’s weddings. But for us here, there’s nothing to compare to some good old home cooking, lovingly prepared, and savoured over several meals. What you throw away leftovers? Tsk. OK so foodstuffs may not be as intrinsically valuable as a pearl necklace (ever tried exchanging a lasagna for some movie tickets?) but we’ll stick with our choice.
