With two cooks aboard then you have double the fun, but with different levels of expertise, you also get a competent cook in the form of Beverley and one who is willing to try anything in the form of Gaynor.
Beverley and Gaynor
Beverley
Beverley has been cooking for years, her idea of cooking is to throw it into a pan and let it get on with it. If there are steps in a menu, that can be removed, then they are gone. So when a friend cooked chicken chorizo for us, she used at least 10pans, the grill, the oven and the hob, while Beverley's method uses one pan, which you can use as the serving dish and the oven.
Gaynor
Gaynor suffers from coeliac disease, so everything on Salty Lass, has to be gluten free. It also means that a lot of processed foods are off the menu, so a lot more cooking and starting from scratch are in the future.
As a cook, Gaynor is a newbie cook, but as somebody who is always up for a challenge, then why not start cooking at 50 plus. Yes there will be mistakes, but that is part of the adventure.
