Good food - art or science?

As it's Christmas Eve and our thoughts turn to turkey and trimmings, I thought I'd join the debate about TV chefs and their contribution to the national health.  Accoriding to a new study by the British Medical Journal, the recipes published by our celebrity chefs are less healthy than the average ready meal. One assumes that this piece of nonsense is based purely on  ingredients. It must have totally ignored the feelings of pure pleasure and satisfaction generated by the creation and serving of home cooked food, let alone the eating of it, whether alone or shared. What can be better than a bit of canny shopping, even an hour or so of dicing, mixing, beating and stirring and then the final oven or cooker-reveal momemt when you greet your own hand-made creation. How can a plastic bag or tray of pre-prepared ingredients ever compare to that wellbeing boost?
So on that therapeutic note, I wish you a very merry and well-fed Christmas, wherever or whatever you are eating!
