My cooking, like ANY passion can sometimes wane. I am currently experiencing my annual post Ex Mousse slump. I can't bear the thought of preparing another chicken breast, pork.. even with crackle.. leaves me cold. Ham?? Don't even speak its name. Even the dogs, Stella Bella Bottom Smeller and Mrs Peaches are turning up their noses at ham.
There are just times, lets face it, when even the most passionate foodaholic just wants some dodgy Indian takeaway delivered straight to the door. It's Summer. The weather has been crap, I am sick to death of salad, and despite currently holidaying in one of the top gourmet regions of Victoria, I have a seriously jaded palate.
Berries are boring, cheese is cheesy, bread is dead, I have no achin' for bacon. Hell, even a top T-bone on the BBQ leaves me MEH.

Cheese and lime pickle sandwiches. The cheese is meh, but the pickle gives you a kick up the Londonderry.
Tho' I rarely have a jaded palate having been a cat in a past life and therefore a glutton.
I don't want to enter but if you do find out how to cure that awful jaded palette, please share! It's so depressing not wanting to eat, much less cook.
Just eat custard powder for a week ,then anything will be a treat!
U'll be certain to get your foodie groove back. ;]
I don't know how well it would work on a jaded palete, but the other night when I had my sister and brother-in-laww over for dinner I made champaign jelly with blueberries served with double cream for desert and it was scrumptious! I could have gone a few more rounds of those little puppies don't you worry!
Sorry, had some problem posting just before, now the system seem to be happy it's me...
P.S. sorry 'bout the double post...
I don't know about custard powder.. that sounds naaaaasty.
