This is pretty much all I think and talk about.
I love fresh food, crunchy food, comfort food, sometimes kind of crappy food. To me, it all serves its purpose, and it's all good.
Food can do amazing things, it can remind you of a childhood long passed, or cheer you up and comfort you after a long week, it serves as a reward when we treat ourselves with 'good' food, or a 'cheeky takeaway'. It's a talking point and I find it can reveal a lot about a person.
I love weird and obscure food, mashups of things that shouldn't go together, quirky pairings and clever twists,and sometimes, I love a good cheese toastie. It doesn't always have to be complicated to have a 'wow' factor, It should just be simple food, done well. I can't follow a recipe with a thousand ingredients and a hundred steps, I've probably nibbled half the ingredients and found something better to do by the time I've made it to the end.
(cooking snacks are always a must if you intend on having some of the meal left over to serve.)
I also always listen to music when I cook, it often has to be a certain type of music, upbeat to keep me focussed. Music is my other big passion
"If music be the food of life...!" and all that jazz.
It just does the same things for me as food, its passionate, its comforting, they just go well together, like pairing a meal with a nice wine. Infact, for a really good time, throw all three together
So this blog is an attempt to put together in one place, my weird experiments (and other peoples) recipes I love, new things I've tried and stuff that is just plain fabulous and must be shared with the world. So please, watch this space and maybe we'll all learn something...
