practical considerations

Things I need to think about when carrying out cooking:

Ingredients - As a student I am limited to what I am able to cook, due to the budget that my flatmates and I set in regards to what ingrediants we can purchase. Thus the meal is determined by what we have.
Space -My flat has a very small kitchen, this makes timing important as it is difficult to have more than one person in the kitchen at a time, also there is minimal bench space.
Equipment - Once again as a student flat our equipment is always going to be limited however I have the option of borrowing stuff off mum if I really need something.

Time - Cooking a meal can be a very time consuming exercise. The meals that I choose to cook normally depend on the time frame in which I have to make them.

Consumers - My boyfriend and flat mates.

Budget: Finding the cheapest deals and sticking to a budget will influence the meals that are being cooked and any decisions made on the purchasing of ingrediants .
