A little bit about me

I have such a great love for the culinary world; my fondest moments have been centred around food. My cooking style is very rustic; I love simple, natural, home style kind of dishes, created with local fresh seasonal ingredients, which brings comfort and happiness to others.  Watching someone really enjoying a meal which I have prepared brings joy to my life, knowing I have created happiness, opened someone’s mind to new taste adventures and given them a memory that will last a lifetime.

I blog because I love to share my knowledge and experience of food, the knowledge I have gained over the years being in the industrial kitchen, and before.  Having travelled the USA, which truly is a melting pot, learning from the Italian Mama how to make the perfect Marinara sauce, or sitting down to a Friday evening Shabbat dinner in a Jewish Orthodox household, or a mid week dinner with a Mexican family, where I had helped roll the handmade Tamales and supper is a simple celebration.

My blog will include recipes I have experimented with, family recipes passed down and of course good old reliable favorite dishes, along with a few tit bits about life, social media, wine, art, decor, yoga and just about anything else that grabs my attention.

Just looking for something new for a dinner party? An idea for a quick easy dinner? Maybe you just want to learn a tip or trick, come on over to my blog and learn how to do it all!

Bringing in a little healthy lifestyle tips, a few diabetic recipes and here and there information about the world of Raw Eating, but not forgetting those guilty pleasures of enjoying food without limitation.
