I've been told not to compost cooked food (vegetables - obviously not
meat!)

Why is this - what difference could it make?

Thanks

The issue of what and what not to compost is more a question of rodent
attraction than quality of compost
If your compost bins are solid and rodent proof then theres no reason why
you cant compost everything
If not then make a worm bin from a plastic dustbin with a tight lid because
in 10 years rodents have not eaten into mine which are fed with every single
kitchen scrap going cooked or uncooked including meat /bones/fish etc
