Most of it is timings to make sure everything's ready at same time. If you have a clock and common sense anyone can do it.
What is the difference between a fridge and a freezer? they both cool food down, what is the difference between a gas oven ring and an electric one. How do you now when food is cooked enough to be ready to eat.
Thank goodness for chippies and chinese takeaways and also pub meals

I wouldn't mind having a table in the kitchen - for rolling pastry/kneading dough etc., - have to use a worktop at the moment. Have been wondering about buying one of those 'butchers block' trolly things. Wouldn't need one for meals as I never eat in the kitchen.

Same here Tabs. I would not want a kitchen now, where I couldn't have my table.
I eat all my meals from the table in the kitchen.
When friends stop by for a coffee we sit at the kitchen table and have a natter, it's relaxing and less formal than using the living room.
My back door opens off the kitchen and is nearly always open in the summer, so I can sit and listen to the birds as I am eating. Keeps me happy anyhow.

Same here but with dog toys and beds Tabs.
It always makes me jump and curse when I suddenly tread on a wretched squeaker toy left laying in wait for me.
Young Gertie is the worst culprit, she rakes through her toyboy and gets out nearly everything every day. It must look like I've had a playschool running here. No good being houseproud here.
