    Ep.1: You Matter More Than What’s For Dinner

    If dinner has started to feel like a test you can only fail, this conversation is your reset. Claire Syrenne welcomes you to Cook and Nourish by putting a spotlight on the overlooked brilliance of home cooks—the people quietly feeding families, friends, and themselves day after day. We dig into why the role matters, how invisible standards creep into our kitchens, and why your well-being always matters more than what’s for dinner. Across fifteen focused minutes, we unpack the pressure that builds from comparison, food headlines, and endless scrolls of perfect plates. Claire shares how shifting from perfection to presence changes both flavour and mood. You’ll hear real stories that cut through the noise, including a reminder that a “simple” dinner often carries the most care—and the most sanity. We get practical, too. You’ll learn how to plan for one intentionally simple meal each week as a strategic win for time, energy, and joy. Along the way, we celebrate memory and meaning in everyday food, from pilchards on toast to beans with cheese, and talk about what you can expect from the show: no trends, no tweezers, just generous, realistic cooking that fits busy lives. Take a breath before you eat tonight and notice that you got food on the table. That moment of recognition is where confidence starts. If this speaks to you, follow Cook and Nourish, share it with a friend who needs a kinder kitchen, and leave a review so more home cooks can find their corner of calm.
