What's the last meal you made completely from scratch?

What was the last meal you made at home from scratch, what ingredients did you use, and were they local or seasonal?

Cooking doesn't need to be time consuming, complicated or expensive and good food isn't the preserve of posh restaurants or fancy chefs. Whether it's a simple snack or a three course meal, we can all enjoy real food and prepare great dishes so as not to rely on convenience and processed foods.

We want to empower people to cook wholesome, fresh and real food. Help us spread the cooking love and inspire others to get busy in the kitchen by sharing your real food stories and photos.

    I don't have a lot of time to cook with working three jobs, but I do love to cook a good meal from scratch. The last time I did it was for my boyfriend and I, and I made fried lemon-rosemary chicken fingers (breaded from scratch of course), sauteed up some kale with sliced mushrooms, dried cranberries, and shallots, and for dessert I soaked raspberries in balsamic vinegar and topped with sweetened mascarpone cheese. It was all amazing!
