Before I begin sharing with you everything I have learned and am still learning about food, I want you to get a feel for who I am. Perhaps it will inspire you to have a go at cooking some of the recipes here yourself.
I am a fine art student and am married to my art. I always have been, but recently our relationship has become a little uninspiring. Could this been why I have embarked on this full on, life consuming affair with food? Probably! I LOVE IT! I love the way you can magically open your cupboards, take a few boring looking ingredients and magically change them into something wonderful. Cooking is an art. It is creation. It envelopes all of the senses, and when the food is cooked right you can just taste a little bit of paradise in it. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm!
Lastly, and very importantly, I am not a mother, a chef or any sort of acomplished cook. I do not have a lot of experience in the kitchen besides helping my Mom and Dad and learning from them. The nearest I've come to a chef is watching UKTV Food...constantly! I just discovered the excitment of experimenting with food and watching with amazing at how quickly I picked up basic skills. I am hoping that this blog can open other people eyes to the benefits of home cooking in this era where ready meals and takeaways are so popular. Because I don't see why we should sacrifice taste for convinience. Especially when cooking is such a fufilling way to spend your time anyway! AND home cooking can be quick and easy too, AND is so much better value!
Enjoy the recipes!
