I am a Food Loving, Home Cook, Gardener, Hen keeper, Traveller, Recycler/Upcycler, DIY type and this blog is a collection of ideas for simple food that is really easy to prepare and cook, full of my personal favourites with inspiration taken from many different people and places I have travelled. It is not just about the cooking, it's the ingredients, growing them, rearing them, the journey from my modest plot in the back garden to the plate and everything else in between.
I am not a trained chef, I don’t work in a restaurant, I don’t even have a decent cooker. I’m very much a home cook and just really enjoy spending time in the garden and kitchen, preparing good simple food for family and friends.
I believe that food and cooking should be easy, not complicated, this blog is for anyone because food is for everyone. I feel the need to keep the blog alive and up-to-date with little snippets and stories from my food related antics (from plot to plate and everything else in between.....), but the issue is that I'm a bit intimidated with all these foodie blogs out there, mainly because so many of them are so darn good, witty and polished that I'm afraid that mine will not measure up in comparison! The other problem is time or the lack of it, but this is my offering. So, stick with me, I will post as often as I can manage, this is a food journey after all and all great journeys take time.
Hope you enjoy............
Stephen
