What is "peg fed"??? He only eats pegs?!

Thank you for all the advice didnt think of just building my own from recipes from on here

Peg fed = fed via a tube inserted through a small incision in the abdomen into the stomach and is used for long-term enteral nutrition via a machine at night which drip feeds special liquid food

this is because my hubby can not eat normally due to long term illness, in which his nervous system is failing, he will never eat normally again or get better. Sorry if this is too much info but we are happy in out own way and wouldnt be with out each other

Have got all my best cookbooks from charity shops

I get a lot of cookery books from charity shops too, but a really good book to buy for nervous cooks is Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food it really is a good book.

I think so many of us have quite a lot of cookery books but never use more than around 25% of the recipes in any of them.

Why not check out your local library, browse through books and copy out any recipes that you think you'll enjoy. Get them onto the computer - saved in separate folders if you're that organised - so that you have your own unique recipe folder.

You could then print off the ones that you use most often, put them into plastic pockets and then into one of those clear 'project folders'. An instant wipe-clean cookery book of tried and tested recipes - without wasting any money OR cluttering up your kitchen shelves/worktops.

If you only buy one cook book, make it this one;)

Also Jamie's Dinners & Jamie's Italy are good.

The Good Housekeeping cook books are good too, as are the BBC food ones.

The new Economy Gastronomy has a few fans on here, I've not bought it (yet).

Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make light of it but just couldn't work it out and kept thinking of pegs. Good to hear that you are both happy though, it is a blessing not to be lonely.

I save a lot of recipes from here and elsewhere but I like to have a few good well organised cookbooks too...the ones i save i print and keep in a little ringbinder for ease of use but tbh I can't always find the one I want when I want it:o
