Let’s kick this off!

I’m currently living in lockdown and I’ve been meaning to get this going for some time, so now seems like an opportune moment. Apart from working I have SO MUCH free time I don’t know what to do…other than bake, watch endless netflix episodes and then exercise sufficiently to ensure that when lockdown is over I can still exit through the front door of my house!

I love to cook….it’s rare that I find cooking stressful. I enjoy it and strangely find it quite therapeutic. I prefer cooking for others far more than just cooking for myself. I like to experiment and only really resort back to my standard go to recipes every once in a blue moon. These include spaghetti carbonara, toad in the hole and pasta puttanesca. Generally these are for times when I’m feeling a bit mis and just need some good ol’ carbs in my life! It goes without saying that right now CARBS (and masses of alcohol) are the only way you can make yourself feel ok about the whole pandemic situation.

Anyway…this blog is for a multitude of different topics including cooking successes, failures and challenges as well as general musings on food….ENJOY!
