An aspiring autistic chef has attained culinary perfection by grinding a little salt and pepper on a packet of mild-curry-flavoured instant noodles, according to reports.

Ellie Mulligan, 26, from Cheadle, who only recently discovered her talent for serving herself four-minute meals for one, is now considering opening her own restaurant.

“It’s a delicate balance of getting the right amount of boiling water, then pouring in the sachet of curry powder,” Mulligan told us. “Put it to simmer on the hob. And, er, that’s it.”

Mulligan said: “Despite people accusing me of having a limited diet, I disagree. Occasionally I go for chicken instant noodles, and sometimes even barbecue beef.”  

“The salt and pepper really adds a little something special, and makes me feel like an extra special care and preparation has gone into my meal,” insisted Mullugan. “It tastes like love.”

Mulligan was last seen debating whether to top the meal with a tiny squirt of ketchup, despite it being doubtful that the dish could be possibly improved.
