A few thoughts on eating

I share Michael Pollan’s sentiment: “Eat food, not too much, mainly plants”, and believe our bodies need a little bit of everything to function well. Despite all attempts to lead an ongoing healthy existence, I am susceptible to over-indulging on the nicer things and find it simply impossible to resist champagne, a gourmet burger or salted caramel.

My recipes are inspired by ingredients I love and those that I find in abundance in my kitchen. I eat with the seasons and relish the change as food comes and goes. Like an old friend, I get to enjoy again after a period of absence.

I thrive on experimenting with new techniques, ideas and flavours & generally try to take the fuss out of any method by eliminating unnecessary steps. I hope to encourage people to cook & bake without feeling intimidated and share delicious and approachable recipes. 

I work in a mix of metric and cup measurements depending on my mood and the ingredient. You will find a handy conversion chart on my site to help.

Drop me a note in the comment section if you have any questions, nothing makes me happier when you do.
