But back to food.
My adventures with food started when I was a baby. My parents tell me that my first solid food was blue cheese - not sure how true that is, but it sounds pretty good to me. And it's still in my top 3 favourite foods.
My whole family has always loved food, and many happy (and sad) family occasions have revolved around a good meal at the dining table with hours of conversation and laughter.
I learnt to cook by baking cakes, biscuits and slices as a little girl - generally making more of a mess than much else in those early days! I discovered early on that you must READ the recipe first! AND make sure you have ALL the ingredients. And use them. All.
{Did you know that cakes without butter bounce? Almost as good as a tennis ball. Seriously.}
Fast forward to my days as a uni student and I learnt to cook "real" meals. As I discovered a diet of cake was not good for the waistline {who knew!}. Spag bol was the fave of the day, and is a much loved and still-cooked dish. At least every two weeks {great way to empty out the veggie crisper!}. My repertoire has expanded a bit since then.
So essentially I love everything about food. From thinking, reading, writing and talking about it, to shopping for it, experimenting with it, cooking it, smelling, slurping, tasting, scoffing, sampling and savouring it.
However I don't do dishes. My gorgeous partner usually does that. Yes, I'm very lucky.
