The last couple of weeks I have been cooking lunches for my Dad who hasn't been feeling to well. It can be hard sometimes to cook for someone who doesn't really feel like they want to eat anything. so my cooking has started incorporating more foods that I don't personally eat. But for him I think it can be useful at this time like I have started to learn how to cook fish!
